Commmentary

The Threat

By Cal Thomas LISBON, Portugal — When the Republican presidential candidates tire of bashing each other, perhaps they will start addressing the expansion of radical Islam. Only Rick Santorum raised the issue in last Saturday’s debate in New Hampshire.

Next door in Spain, two new satellite TV stations recently signed on.

They won’t be airing “Judge Judy,” but instead are broadcasting Islamic theology and political propaganda. It was not coincidental that the launch of Islamic TV in Spain coincided with Christmas. One of the early broadcasts featured a story, from Islam’s perspective, on the Virgin Mary and the birth of Jesus. Not surprisingly, it differs significantly from the biblical account with which even secular Americans are familiar.

One channel is called Hispan TV and its program content is produced in Iran. That should be warning enough. One of their shows is called “Debate Abierto,” or “Open Debate.”

The Iranian government sponsors the program, which, according to Soeren Kern, a senior fellow at the Strategic Studies Group in Madrid, “will focus on spreading Shiite Islam” in Spain and Latin America.

The second channel is Cordoba

ISLAM WILL DOMINATE

THE WORLD Television, which Kern writes, “is the brainchild of the radical Saudi cleric Abdul Aziz al-Fawzan, the spiritual mentor for one of the Islamists who carried out the terrorist attacks in New York on September 11, 2001.”

Kern notes that al-Fawzan has a reputation for hating Christianity and marginalizing women. He also preaches against the United States and believes “slavery is a part of Islam; slavery is part of Jihad and Jihad will remain as long as there is Islam.”

For many Muslims, Cordoba, a city in southern Spain, remains an impor-

tant symbol of Islamic conquest. It was once the capital of the Islamic Emirate of al-Andalus, which ruled most of the Iberian Peninsula more than a millennium ago. Cordoba TV is owned by the Foundation for the Message of Islam and backed by the Saudi royal family.

Its aim, according to Kern, is to propagate...” the extremist Wahhabi sect of Islam.” The same right-wing sect that prints textbooks calling Jews descendants of apes and pigs and Christians cross worshippers and polytheists.

One might reasonably conclude that the goal of these TV stations is to

establish a presence in post-Christian Spain with political goals that even Spanish secularists won’t like. That Iran is also promoting Spanish broadcasts in Latin American countries is another indication of how radical Islam is advancing worldwide, fueled substantially by what the West pays for their oil.

What is the Obama administration’s response to the advance of radical Islam? It seeks negotiations with the Taliban and apparently as a “confidence-building gesture” is contemplating the release from Guantanamo Bay prison of Mullah Mohammed Fazl in exchange for promises of peace talks and the chance to open a political office in Qatar. Fazl, a former commander of the Taliban army, is accused of slaughtering thousands of Shiite Muslims, is said to enjoy a close relationship with al-Qaida and other terrorist groups and is involved in drug trafficking. He is also considered a “high risk” Guantanamo detainee and a real threat to American forces and U.S. allies should he be released. This and more can be found in last year’s WikiLeaks document dump called the “Guantanamo Bay Files.”

The administration also wants to reach out to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, which it had previously said would not have a major influence in that country’s upcoming elections. It now appears Brotherhood candidates will gain significant power in that election to Israel’s detriment.

No gesture will deter the radicals.

U.S. gestures demonstrate to radical Islamists America’s weakness and lack of resolve, which they are eager to exploit.

During the Cold War, the United States made effective use of the Voice of America and Radio Liberty to tell the truth to “captive nations.” There are no broadcasting counterweights to what radical Islamists are doing in Spain and Latin America. While America retreats, announcing cuts in defense spending, Islamists advance.

In the film “The Iron Lady,” Meryl Streep speaks the words of Margaret Thatcher: “One of the great problems of our age is that we’re governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas.”

Radical Islam challenges every idea in which the West believes. The Republican presidential candidates should start talking about their plans to counter, even defeat, it. We can see what the Obama administration is doing: nothing.

U.S. Marine as “Person of the Year” The very first award of the Union-Tribune’s Person of the Year goes to the U.S. Marine. The award honors an individual or category of individuals with San Diego ties.

The U-T says, “We can think of no better way to begin this tradition than by selecting as our first winner the Marine.

Since Sept. 11, 2001, America ha relied on the Marine to keep us safe from terror at home and to take the fight to our enemies abroad, a task our Marines have handled with immense courage, professionalism and honor.”

VA Announces Changes to Emergency Care Payment Policy

The Department of Veterans Affairs announced today a change in regulations regarding payments for emergency care provided to eligible Veterans in non-VA facilities.

“This provision helps ensure eligible Veterans continue to get the emergency care they need when VA facilities are not available,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki.

The new regulation extends VA’s authority to pay for emergency care provided to eligible Veterans at non-VA facilities until the Veterans can be safely transferred to a VA medical facility.

More than 100,000 Veterans are estimated to

be affected by the new rules, at a cost of about $44 million annually.

VA operates 121 emergency departments across the country, which provide resuscitative therapy and stabilization in life-threatening situations. They operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. VA also has 46 urgent care units, which provide care for patients without scheduled appointments who need immediate medical or psychiatric attention.

Registration open for largest wheel chair sports event in the world

Registration is open for the 32nd National Veterans Wheelchair Games, the largest annual wheelchair sports event in the world. More than 500 Veterans from across the United States, Puerto Rico and Great Britain are expected to compete in the Games, taking place June 25-30, 2012, in Richmond, Va. – the site of the very first National Veterans Wheelchair Games held in 1981.

“The National Veterans Wheelchair Games are an outstanding event that showcases the abilities and determination of Veterans,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K.Shinseki.

China’s carrier getting ready for flight ops?

Well, if we need a hint that China’s first aircraft carrier, the ex-soviet Varyag is getting ready for flight operations, this might be it. These pictures show ex-Varyag’s crew conducting what looks like a FOD sweep of the ship’s flight deck. Remember, we saw a Z-8 helo operating around her flight deck just before her maiden voyage last August. On her last couple of cruises we saw what appeared to be an aircraft fueling truck sitting on her deck. Speaking of interesting things on her flight deck, check out the camouflage trailer with what looks like some sort of satellite or radar antenna on top of it sitting on the deck just aft of the ship’s island.

The Invisible War – A Look into Military Sexual Trauma

By Kimberly Heartsong Early in 2011 the Dr. Oz Show did a special show that highlighted women Veterans that were homeless. Some had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and had been raped or experienced a military sexual trauma (MST). It was the kind of show that presented Veterans in an honorable manner and allowed the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to address the fact that many female Veterans fall through the cracks with normal routine VA care; let alone extreme cases such as homelessness and PTSD or MST. A VA representative mentioned the action teams in place in Washington, D.C. to study the problem of women Veterans and how they were establishing hotlines, and outreach programs.

As a combat zone Veteran with five deployments to the Middle East supporting the Persian Gulf War, I receive disability compensation and treatment at VA for PTSD and MST. I can tell you fi rst hand that since my retirement in 2007 it has been an uphill battle to get the help I need. But I am getting help. Then I stumbled across a fi lm that is going to be released in January 2012, called, “The Invisible War” that is supposed to address MST in particular. I talked to a few people I know in the industry about this, and discovered that one of the Veterans that was interviewed and may appear as a main character is a man that was raped and claims this rape caused him to become a pedophile—which he served criminal prison time for. I am writing this blog in the hopes to preempt the hate mail that the VA will receive after the public sees his inter-

view in this fi lm.

Yes, MST is a real issue and needs to be treated, and yes, the VA could be doing a better job, but I do not feel that linking MST to criminal pedophiles will do anything to enhance the medical assistance the veterans receive. If anything it will cause the public to revert to the era of Vietnam when people would spit on veterans in public. I would hope the VA would read this blog and be PRO-ACTIVE with a public affairs campaign for TV ads to advocate for the positive assistance for MST survivors to get treatment.

I am a Veteran. I am proud of my country. The VA is not perfect by any means, but I do not feel it is necessary to embarrass and degrade Veterans who have already suffered MST to be lumped in the same category as criminals who blame MST for their criminal

Non-surgical way to sculpt your body

Pousti Plastic Surgery is pleased and excited to announce the practice’s adoption of the innovative CoolSculpting fat removal technology for patients desiring fat removal without the cost and recovery associated with traditional liposuction.

Pousti Plastic Surgery is one of the fi rst medical and cosmetic surgery practices in the Southern California region to offer this breakthrough in noninvasive fat reduction.

CoolSculpting is an exciting and innovative new approach to non-invasive fat reduction. “This technology has demonstrated significant positive results in clinical studies for removing unwanted body fat without the possible risks and recovery of invasive procedures” said Dr. Tom Pousti of Pousti Plastic Surgery in San Diego, California. “This fat-reducing technology is particularly effective in resistant localized areas of the body such as back fat, love handles, and isolated belly fat. The CoolSculpting procedure is extremely comfortable and patients are very satisfied with the process and results.”

Cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the CoolSculpting technology works by gently cooling unwanted fat cells in the body, inducing a natural and controlled elimination of fat

cells. CoolSculpting is based on scientific discovery from the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts.

The research proved through vast research that fat cells are more susceptible to cold and are selectively, painlessly, and permanently destroyed.

Several weeks after the procedure, cooled fat cells begin a process called apoptosis and start to shrink and disappear. The patient begins to naturally and gradually eliminate cooled fat cells, thereby reducing the thickness of the fat layer in targeted areas of the body.

Unlike other harsh fat reduction or removal procedures, CoolSculpting requires no needles, surgery, or recovery periods. During the procedure, a non-invasive applicator delivers precisely controlled cooling to the treatment area. Treatments last between one and two hours, and patients have the option for additional treatments for more substantial effects if desired. Each CoolSculpting procedure results in an undeniable reduction of fat in the treatment area, and patients see results as early as three weeks following treatment. The most dramatic results occur over a period of between two and four months in most patients.

What to expect after the surgery & FAQ

1. Which patients are the best candidates?

Ultimately, ideal candidates are active and are at or near their goal weight, but are unable to get rid of stubborn fat with diet and exercise. They should be concerned with specific areas that include stored fat, not concerned with their entire body, but do not consider surgical procedures a solution. The CoolSculpting method is not intended as a weight loss solution.

2. How does the applicator deliver cooling to the fat cells?

The applicator gently holds tissue in the applicator cup grasped between two cooling panels, resembling a vacuum, while extracting body heat from underlying tissue. The skin is monitored through sensors, linked to the control console, built into the machine that control a consistent cooling procedure pattern and provide constant feedback to the physician.

3. How long will my results last?

Patients show full results six months after the CoolSculpting treatment and are expected to last about as long as results from invasive fat cell removal surgeries such as liposuction.

4. Are there any side effects after the treatment?

As a non-invasie procedure, the CoolSculpting treatment allows for immediate return to normal daily activities with no restrictions. Immediately following the treatment, the area may appear red anywhere from the first few minutes to the first few hours, but this is completely along with minimal localized bruising which usually disappears within a few weeks. Some patients may feel a numbing sensation to the treated area lasting up to 8 weeks.

Tiger’s Private Life fourth in the WCG-HSBC Champions event in Shanghai, and he is on the way up. Only Luke Donald of England stands between him and the number one spot.

Donald has a great record in smaller tournaments, but has never hit his best form for the majors, as has been the case with so many other players.

McIlroy will be eagerly awaiting the next major — the Masters in Augusta next April — where he will hope to wipe the slate clean and to take the title he should have taken this year. At just 22, he’s mature

iger Woods’ private life dominated headlines for the best part of 2010, and unjustly so.

One man was making the headlines on and off the course, leaving journalists little time for anyone other than the international golf icon. And the players felt it, too.

There hasn’t been a single player to win more than one major since. Several men have occupied the number one spot in recent times, and sometimes getting there without taking a major.

Does this diminish the value of the majors? Does it mean they aren’t as important in terms of ranking points?

No, of course not. It just means that everyone wants to be the next Tiger, but no one is quite good enough.

Or maybe they are. Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland is a great young player, and he proved it at this year’s U.S. Open. That one should have been his second. He led the previous major, the Masters, on the fi nal day, and by four shots, too, but threw his lead away with a disastrous fi nal round to fi nish T15 for the tournament.

At the time, people said McIlroy simply didn’t have what it took to be a major winner. He had the shots, certainly. He had the skill and talent, but he didn’t have it between the ears.

Mentally, he wasn’t strong enough.

Those thoughts were quickly dispelled as McIlroy banished the regrets of the Masters and shot a 268 aggregate score to fi nish 16 under par to in a record breaking victory. It was the victory he should have had at the Masters.

But it showed his critics he really does have what it takes, and when he is on form, he is better than the world, and by a long, long way.

At the time of writing, he is No. 2 in the world rankings, after coming

for his age, and with another year under his belt after the biggest throwaway of his career, he know he has what it takes, and he will be confident of keeping a cool head throughout the tournament.

If McIlroy takes the lead in any of the majors in 2012, expect him to hand on to it. He might not end up being as prolific a major winner as Woods, but he’s certainly going to dominate the next few years.

Top reasons Dwight Howard will join the Los Angeles Lakers: Fan’s perpsective

He is shooting an immoral, nearly 70 percent from the field. He also hap-

And yet, his team is on the verge of a first round exit.

him alone, he will drop 40 on you with schoolyard ease. If you dare to shoot near him, realize that there is a strong chance your shot will be spiked in your face at ten times the speed at which you shot it. Again, it makes no difference who you are.

round performances in the history of basketball and impacts the totality of his NBA contests unlike any other roundball artist alive.

And still, he has received no serious consideration for MVP this year.

3. Otis Smith For five years now, Otis Smith has had the main ingredient to a successful championship recipe: the NBA’s premiere big man. He has squandered his opportunity. Smith signed Rashard Lewis(notes) to one of the least cost-efficient contracts in NBA history. Then, he traded what was an already historically awful contract, for the only worse contract: Gilbert Arenas’.(notes) From bringing in Vince Carter(notes) to trading away Marcin Gortat(notes), Smith has made all the wrong moves.

Like Dan Gilbert’s in Cleveland, his efforts have been as sincere as his execution is lacking and I’m willing to wager that he’s lost Dwight Howard’s confidence in the process.

2. Dealing with reality Dwight Howard could leave the Orlando Magic two different ways. He can wit for free agency in 2012 and sign with whichever team he chooses or he could be traded this summer or some time before the trade deadline next year. Neither represents a particularly favorable future for the Magic, but if they trade him, even if it’s a downgrade, the team can at least extract some value from his departure.

If they don’t trade him, the only thing they gain is cap space. With no Howard or new piece and a record of poor decision-making, what type of offer can they make a free agent?

An unattractive one.

1. NBA Championships Dwight Howard has made it no secret that he wants to compete for a championship. Each passing year, he puts more pressure on the Magic’s management to make changes. He questions his coach’s attitude and teammates’ effort in seemingly every interview. His frustration oozes from every word and expression.

Now, imagine a Lakers team featuring Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol(notes) and an older Kobe Bryant(notes) that relies more and improves on his jumpshot. I can tell you the only people that would enjoy that thought are the Laker nation and David Stern.

Manny Pacquiao answers Floyd Mayweather, says fight on May 5 doesn’t make sense ished before the end of May and staging the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight in a smaller venue is “foolish from an economic standpoint.”

Mayweather challenged and taunted Pacquiao to a May 5 bout in a tweet on Tuesday.

“Manny Pacquiao I’m calling you out let’s fight May 5th and give the world what they want to see,” he tweeted.

Mayweather is available for a fight in May at the MGM Grand Garden after a judge agreed last week to postpone his jail sentence for domestic violence until June. Mayweather was sentenced to 87 days in jail, but likely will serve less time.

The MGM Grand seats about 17,000, which could fetch around $20 million in sales, but the larger arena could raise an additional $30 million, Koncz said.

“Why would I tell Manny to fight on the 5th and throw away a percentage of 30 million? That’s crazy,” he said.

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has told the Philippines’ GMA television the only reason the fight won’t happen is if there is an “economic problem.”

He said the fight “could happen very, very easily” at the end of May – enough time to build the outdoor arena “the fight so badly needs.”

“I will also guarantee Manny’s purse,” he said. “In other words, Manny doesn’t want to go into the ring and just fight out a percentage.”

He said Mayweather is looking for “outside parties to guarantee his end of the purse.”

“So, until he fi nds the angel, there is no fight,” Arum said.

In a separate interview with GMA, Pacquiao said that if Mayweather agrees to a “50-50 sharing, there will be no problem.”

“The purse is not the issue right now, the date is,” Koncz said. “But we don’t have a problem splitting it 50-50.”

ACT OF VALOR

The Movie and the Novelization

A

ct of Valor, a Bandito Brothers/ Relativity Media production, is scheduled for wide theatrical release on over 3,000 screens nationwide on February 24, 2012. Just a quick look at the movie’s two-anda-half minute trailer (http://movies. yahoo.com/movie/1810125178/video/26907395) gives some indication of how successful this unique movie – the first one ever starring active duty U.S. Navy SEALs – will be. Relativity Media has partnered with best-selling author Tom Clancy on its heart-pounding Navy SEAL action-thriller Act of Valor and an accompanying novelization of the film’s screenplay. This marks Tom Clancy’s first time to present a novelization of a feature film not based on his own original work.

Bandito Brothers’ film Act of Valor stars a group of active-duty Navy SEALs-not actors-along with Roselyn Sanchez, Alex Veadov, Jason Cottle and Nestor Serrano in a riveting story of contemporary global anti-terrorism.

The film’s novelization, Tom Clancy Presents Act of Valor written by Dick Couch and George Galdorsi, based on the screenplay by Kurt Johnstad, was released in paperback by Clancy’s long-time publisher, Berkley Books on January 10, 2012.

Tom Clancy’s Foreword to Tom Clancy Presents Act of Valor, which also contains a link to the Navy Seal Foundation at: http://nswfoundation. org/ nicely sums up the spirit of both the movie and the novelization: The events in this book and movie may not always be easy to read about or watch, but it is important for us to get a glimpse into the lives of these courageous Americans, and a deeper appreciation for sacrifices they make for us. We have an obligation to honor the SEALs and their families-not just in the event that we are fortunate enough to meet any of them one day, but by living our lives to the fullest, enjoying and preserving the liberties afforded to us because of their work.

Produced and directed by former Baja 1000 champion Mike “Mouse” McCoy and former stuntman Scott Waugh, Act of Valor goes deep into the secret world of U.S. Navy SEALs, today’s most elite and highly trained group of warriors. When the rescue of a kidnapped CIA operative leads to the discovery of a deadly terrorist plot against the United States, a team of SEALs is dispatched on a worldwide manhunt. As the men of Bandito Platoon race to stop a coordinated attack that could kill and maim thousands of American civilians, they must balance their commitments to country, team, and their families back home.

Inspired by true events, the film combines stunning combat sequences, upto-the minute battlefield technology and heart-pumping emotion for the ultimate action adventure.

Filming took place in a variety of locations where SEAL and other special operations training is conducted; from Key West, Florida, to Fort Campbell, Kentucky, to Stennis, Mississippi, to El Centro, California, to San Clemente Island, and aboard U.S. Navy ships and submarines, including USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) and USS Florida (SSGN-728). And since everyone in uniform on screen is either a U.S. Navy SEAL or U.S. Navy Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen (SWCC), the true stars of this film effort were all active duty U.S. Navy

SEALs and SWCCs. In the summer of 2011, Dick Couch and George Galdorisi embarked on a novelization of Act of Valor. Working with the Kurt Johnstad script and a pre-release DVD of the movie, they created a back-story of all the major characters; the Navy SEALs of the Bandito Platoon (the informal name of the SEALs who starred in the movie), SEAL family members, the villains the SEALs needed to defeat, as well as other characters – major and minor.

While the movie implicitly addressed core values such as honor, courage, commitment, character, nobility, sacrifice, family values and others, for the novelization, Couch and Galdorisi needed to walk the reader through these explicitly and show how the

success the U.S. Navy SEALs have enjoyed in missions throughout their 50-year history has been critically dependent on these core values.

The production of the manuscript for Tom Clancy Presents: Act of Valor was on an accelerated timeline in order to get the book (a Penguin premium paperback priced at $9.99) into production for the January 10, 2012 release date. Couch and Galdorisi report that it was a fast paced several months to complete the book and shepherd it though time-critical rounds of editing, re-editing, and copy-editing, but the final result is a book and story with the granularity to enable the reader to internalize what he or she might have missed in an action-packed, 100-minute movie.

Since San Diego is home to the U.S. Navy Special Warfare Command, this is as much as “San Diego” movie and book as any that have ever been done before. As Tom Clancy says in the book’s Foreword: “Read the book.

See the movie. If you are inspired by what you read and see, please consider joining me in making a donation to the Navy Seal Foundation at: http://nswfoundation.org/.” And 2012, the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Navy SEALs, is the perfect time to do just that.

New year, new cool cars in Jay Leno’s garage.

The very impressive Hennessey Venom GT has already stopped by the garage once in concept form, but now the Hennessey tuned Lotus Elise — as well as its creator, John Hennessey — is back in production form to wow the late night talk show host.

The Hennessey Venom GT was limited to only 10 units, each priced at a whopping $950,000. The Venom GT is powered by a supercharged 6.2 liter LS9 V8 engine, same used in the Corvette ZR1, that delivers a total of 725 bhp. And if this is not enough, the tuner will also be offering 1000 bhp and 1200 bhp twin turbo V8 engine variants. With a curb weight of 2,685 lbs, the 1200 HP Venom GT will hit a top speed of 275 mph. The latter, speedier version is the one Leno had the chance to test, of course.

perils facing the Allied forces in the European theater. Meanwhile, in the halls of the Pentagon, one man fights so that the men under his charge are afforded the opportunity to prove their mettle in war.

“Red Tails” is a multi-layered fi lm, taking viewers inside the cockpit during spectacular gut-wrenching aerial dogfights, as well as into the hearts and minds of the pilots, crewmen and leaders during World War II. The fi lm’s ensemble cast includes Oscar® winner Cuba Gooding Jr., Oscar nominee Terrence Howard, Bryan Cranston, Nate Parker, David Oyelowo, Tristan Wilds, Cliff Smith AKA Method Man, Kevin Phillips, Lee Tergesen, Andre Royo, Ne-Yo, Elijah Kelley, Marcus T. Paulk, Leslie Odom Jr., Michael B. Jordan and Daniela Ruah.

The fi lm is being produced by Rick McCallum and Charles Floyd Johnson.

At its heart, “Red Tails” aspires to honor the bravery, excellence and heroism of the men that served as Tuskegee Airmen by introducing their story to all generations through a thrilling action adventure story. In this way, the fi lm looks to educate and entertain a generation about these true American heroes who forever put to rest the misplaced belief that African Americans lacked the courage, discipline and intelligence to be fighter pilots. Against all odds, these men fought to the last plane, to the last bullet, to the last minute, to the last man and won the admiration of the world.

War Horse – The making of the motion picture A wonderful pictorial moviebook

B

rimming with more than 140 dramatic images, this is the stunning, visual companion to Steven Spielberg’s epic adventure, set in rural England and Europe, about a young man and his horse and their separate journeys through the battlefields of the First World War. One of the great stories of friendship and war, the successful novel War Horse not only inspired the award-winning stage play, but also inspired one of the great directors in fi lm history to commit his talent, vision, and resources to make this extraordinary movie, which was shot in the countryside of England.

“I fi rst fell in love with the story of War Horse because I was moved by the relationship between a boy and an animal in Michael Morpurgo’s novel and the screenplay by Richard Curtis and Lee Hall,” writes Steven Spielberg in his foreword. “But, ultimately, I made it because of what the book and the screenplay say about courage. I t is about the courage of the horse Joey and what he endures to survive, and the courage of Albert in his attempt to fi nd his best friend in a time of war. With every frame of

Additional forewords by producer Kathleen Kennedy, novelist Michael Morpurgo, and co-screenwriter Richard Curtis reveal their feelings about the story and the process of moving it from page to screen. The main body of the book is divided into three sections: Part 1: Joey’s Journey—A visual retelling, along with script excerpts and filmmakers’ comments, of the journey taken by Joey, the horse trained by his beloved Albert, from the striking verdant countryside of Dartmoor, Devon, to training in the British cavalry, to trench warfare in France.

Part 3: The History of War Horses—An illuminating section on the role of horses in battle, illustrated with iconic images from history, vivid drawings, paintings and photographs.

This beautiful book is a testament to what can be done when people become impassioned about a goal. As producer Kathleen Kennedy expresses in her foreword: “War Horse was one of those unusual productions that comes together in an incredibly short time, and for all the right reasons. Everyone involved understood the film’s potential, the richness of the characters, the depth of emotion, and the strength of the story’s message.”

what could be braver than that?

By Steven Spielberg, “War Horse” Director

W

hen the Great War started, it was ironically called “the war to end all wars.” Horses were once considered an essential offensive component of a military force, and a cavalry charge was perhaps the most superior shock tactic prior to World War I. Caught in the transition from manual to mechanized warfare, horses that had once been the mainstay in battles were now part of the shocking toll that contemporary combat was taking on its participants — both human and animal.

It was against this harsh reality that Michael Morpurgo found a beautiful story for his “War Horse.” I was immediately drawn to both the historical backdrop and the emotional depth of this story. The story of Joey encompassed his days on an English farm in the care of a young boy, Albert, to the grim canvas of wartime Europe where he, among soldiers of many nations, became a hero in his own right.

Through the eyes of Joey and Albert, I embraced the opportunity to explore the vast scope of World War I. Despite the exposition to the horrors of war and the shattering of their innocence our heroes encounter on their journey to be reunited, this fi lm is not about who is right in war. It is about the remarkable humanity that an animal is able to bring to these characters — be they English, German or French.

Beyond the backdrop of the war, there were two distinct stars in the fi lm. The fi rst was the Dartmoor region of England. I have never before been gifted with such an abundance of natural beauty. Despite my extensive coverage of landscapes and skies, I hardly scratched the surface of the visual opportunities that were offered to me. It was a breathtaking place and a particularly rewarding experience to be there on location.

The other stars of “War Horse” were our extraordinary horses. On screen, the fi lm illustrates the many contributions and sacrifices horses made to and for the war. Behind the camera, we witnessed fi rsthand their amazing contributions to our fi lm. Having lived with horses for so many years, I knew they were intuitive and that they would capture the emotion we ourselves were feeling while fi lming this beautiful story in such an exceptionally beautifully countryside.

War is a heartbreaking part of life, and unfortunately World War I was not the “war to end all wars,” as they forecasted once upon a day. When I thought about that prediction and the confl icts that have transpired since then, I found myself looking for the distinguishing characteristic of this past century of warfare. I believe it is courage.

I fi rst fell in love with the story of “War Horse” because I was moved by the relationship between a boy and an animal in Michael Morpurgo’s novel and the screenplay by Richard Curtis and Lee Hall. But, ultimately, I made it because of what both the book and the screenplay say about courage. It is about the courage of Joey and what he endures to survive and the courage of Albert in his attempt to fi nd his best friend in a time of war.

With every frame of this fi lm, it was my hope to issue a call for courage in our daily lives, a call to “be brave.”
