The C.O.
Matt Wakefield is a career soldier who worships his hero father. His mother committed suicide to keep him from being deployed in the first Gulf War. His teenage daughter is an outspoken war critic. His government thinks he's the one to cripple the insurgency in Iraq. And so does he. That is until his combat experiences start to collide with his long-held values and beliefs. His experiences open his eyes not only to the horrific realities of war, but also to the lies and religious myths created by all sides to spur its citizens to fight. Based largely on actual incidents and battle accounts, the script follows the journey of this highly regarded and highly publicized soldier as he follows a path that takes him from being a hero Commanding Officer to requesting a very different kind of C.O. status. And it shows the lengths his government will go to in order to keep him quiet. The script creates vivid imagery, compelling scenarios and intriguing moral dilemmas.
