The movie was made by Americans, that's why it matters. Would Americans ever make a movie that puts American solidiers in a bad light? 2. Because they are human beings? Putting their life on the line for their country and their people, willing to give a life for what they think is rightful. Most soldiers don't seem to think very much (I'm pretty sure that's a bad quality to have if you're a soldier), so I doubt they're doing what THEY think is right. And how exactly are American soldiers "putting their life on the line for their country and their people" by invading Iraq? And as for the human being thing, after all the atrocities that solidiers (regardless of the side they're on FTR), can they still be called human beings? |
1. The movie didnt put anyone in bad or good light. Its about soldiers who happend to be US soldiers and their experience and emotions in the war.Is it hard for you to believe that Americans didnt try to promote anything here? The movie didnt choose any sides at all. And yes, Amercans make movies that makes American soldiers look bad. I watched the movie about some squad in Iraq who raped teenage iraqi girl and killed her borther, and later one of the soldiers got kidnapped by Iraqi fundamentalists and got his head chopped off. In case you didnt notice in todays news, lots of amercans are VERY critical about their army in Iraq.
2.Well, they think they are defending their freedom and democracy by whiping out terrorist group in Middle East. Im not here to argue on weather their views are right or wrong. They are there because they feel thats the right thing to do.And of course you'll find some sick people that will rape and kill civilains, but that doesnt put an entire army and people who serve in the bad light.
