Soldiers from the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment’s (The Old Guard) Presidential Salute Battery take part in a gunner’s exam on an 81mm mortar on the Fort Myer portion of Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall July 30, 2015. The exam tests proficiency of a mortar team's proficiency in mounting the mortar, making small deflection change, referring the sight and realigning aiming posts, making large deflection and elevation changes, and reciprocally laying the mortar. Although The Old Guard Soldiers perform ceremonial support missions throughout the National Capital Region, they are also infantrymen and are required to train accordingly.

Weapons: un incubo che mente bene
Ieri sono andata a vedere Weapons di Zach Cregger. Fin dalla promozione – e persino in biglietteria – aleggiava l’idea che fosse una “storia vera”. È anche la prima cosa che sentiamo dalla voce narrante, con un tono che ricorda un racconto da campeggio al chiaro di luna… o meglio, di torce elettriche.
Eppure, per quanto venga dichiarato all’inizio e ribadito intorno al film, in realtà non lo è. Chiunque con un minimo di spirito critico, dopo averlo visto, può arrivare alla stessa conclusione: qui si tratta di un espediente narrativo per creare atmosfera. Personalmente, tutto ciò mi ha lasciata del tutto indifferente.
Il film, in realtà, nasce da un lutto del regista, che ha scritto la storia come un modo per elaborare la perdita improvvisa e tragica di una persona a lui molto cara. Le emozioni alla base del racconto sono autentiche, ma gli eventi sullo schermo sono pura finzione.
A me che una storia sia reale o no interessa poco: ciò che conta è come viene raccontata. Weapons l’ho trovato interessante, originale e ben costruito. Fa paura? Per niente. Anzi, ci sono momenti drammatici che scivolano in un’ilarità macabra, stemperando la tensione.
La prima parte è piuttosto “normale”, con un’inquietudine che aleggia sulla spedizione di dodici alunni di una scuola elementare, e un’impostazione che sembra da indagine. Apprezzo la scelta di mostrare la vicenda da più punti di vista, svelando segreti poco a poco.
La seconda metà, invece, accelera di colpo: ritmo sempre più concitato fino a un climax di splatter estremo. Non fa paura, ma regala uno spettacolo decisamente fuori dal comune.
In sintesi: piacevole, ben strutturato, coinvolgente e persino sensato – per quanto possa esserlo una storia così. E, cosa importante, dà risposte convincenti a tutti i misteri che mette in gioco. Promosso.

With the assistance of the United Nations Regional Centre for Peace, Disarmament and Development in Latin America and the Caribbean, Peruvian authorities destroyed over 2,000 small arms in Trujillo, Peru, as part of a national campaign to prevent armed violence and promote human security.
The photo shows the cutting of seized weapons at the official ceremony in 2015. By linking disarmament with community resilience, this initiative demonstrates how women can take active roles in advancing peace and security, embodying the principles of the WPS agenda.
