ok here we go
The message I got from this flash is that invading Iraq was a stupid plan, and that George Bush is to blaim.. I agree with that, but I dont agree with some of the things you say in your comments and at the end of the movie.
I agree that the US troops deserve respect, as individuals, because they have the courage to risk their life for whatever they believe is right.
But I dont respect everything they do, like rape, killing helpless wounded enemies, torturing innocent people and so on.
I think these things should be covered by the media, even if it makes it harder for the troops, because its the truth, and if the media wouldn't be able to uncover the truth, it would be nothing more than a military propaganda machine.
What I think that they are doing wrong is focusing on the soldiers that did this, instead of WHY they did it. What happened is not the fault of the soldiers that did it, but of the people that made it happen. These soldiers where ORDERED to "soften the prisoners up" before interrogation, these methods where approved by Donald Rumsfeld and thought up by the CIA. But instead of Looking for more, these soldiers are made the black sheep, they are dragged to court marsial for things they where told where OK to do.
I think the big problem with this war is the attitude with which the Bush administration is waging it.
They dont care about the troops, they dont care about the Iraquee people, all they care about is giving exclusive rights to drill for oil to American oil companies.
the US troops arent getting killed protecting
our asses, Saddam was not a threat to us.
They are getting killed fighting a war to secure 90% of the worlds oil reserves for the Bushes, and their friends companies.
I'm not saying that the people that are out there, fighting, dont deserve respect.
All I'm saying is this war shouldnt be going on in the first place.
