Whoops, I thought this was a discussion about the Sun Tzu treatise.

Now that looks like a film I'd actually go to a theater for.

A more original thought?

I heard an interview about the book a few months ago and it sounded very interesting. The movie looks good too. They started with about 6 or 7 as depicted in the clip, but by the end of the war they had about 40. Think about that; 40 men to cover all of the territory taken back by the Allies (I assume we didn't "help" the Russians). They looked for, recovered and cataloged thousands upon thousands of pieces of art, buildings, etc.

On the one hand it sounds a little silly sending in soldiers to recover paintings and vases and whatever, but imagine if all of this art had been lost? What a huge tragedy that would have been.
