Being in the military and conducting work for the Pentagon I just had to have this dvd.It is very informative though of course you miss out still on a lot of things since they can't be released to the public.Anyway, For an educational film it was pretty good though as mentioned don't expect to much detail in what is actually done there.

It had some interesting parts and "gee whiz" types of information, but for the most part it was repetitive and had a tendency to drag.

- A Waste
This DVD is not nesecary for anyone to watch. 90% of the DVD revolves around 9/11, and only the remaining 10% is how the Pentagon, and the Armed Services work. Very little (10 minutes) is spent focusing on new technology that will be availible in the future.
Of the 90% talking about 9/11, 75% is propoganda for the "war on terror." If we want propoganda, we can turn on the television and watch it for free, not pay for a DVD or a DVD rental. The 15% reolving around 9/11 that is not propoganda, ... Read More

Instead of analyzing the Pentagon in a broader political ... Read More
Rating: - Made in April 2002, decent, though too much focus on Sep. 11
There were too many cheerleading sessions guised as interviews with Rumsfeld and the other spectacle-eyed swagger sticks, but the overall video is decent, showing many aspects of the rebuilding efforts and documentation of the attack. Strategically, they did go into the Pentagon as a command structure and showed how it is basically a brain for the largest organization known to man (which is pretty cool). Some stuff about the original commision of the building, though not too much.
The real disappointment ... Read More
