...terms of storytelling, I wanted to go in a different direction. The challenge is, how do you take some of the themes of the traditional war movie, which are kind of immutable - war is hell, the brutalizing aspects of combat - and do it in a contemporary way that reflects the reality of this war, in its tactical reality and also in the psychological reality of it being a volunteer army? Which is something that none of those wars had, so none of those movies dealt with it. To me, those were the two burdens: it had to get to something...

According to Burton, it sounds pretty much as billed. "We chose 'Broken Bells' because the music sounded like that," he explains. He and Mercer make use of hand claps, drumbeats, harmonized vocals and the kind of soothing melodies that get stuck in your head for days.

...That goes for military deals. On Monday, Sarkozy confirmed that France was negotiating with Russia over the sale of four Mistral-class assault ships worth a total of about $2 billion - the first deal of its kind between a NATO member and Moscow. It's turning heads for other reasons too. A Russian admiral recently said the amphibious vessels - which can carry 15 helicopters or 70 armored vehicles - would have allowed Russia to complete its August 2008 invasion of Georgia in a matter of hours.
