Stop-Loss

The bravest place to stand is by each other's side.

Since Reese left me I've lost all will to live...

After a tour of duty in Iraq, a group of soldiers come home to their small town and a heroes welcome. One decides to re-enlist and become a sniper, while the other has his retirement denied: he has been 'stop-lossed' and ordered back to Iraq. He decides to fight this decision, and goes on the run with his buddy the wanna-be sniper's girlfriend. After a few detours, they end up in Washington before the showdown in a cemetery.
