Since its on the Fox propaganda network, I've been avoiding it. Usually that helps me from having to erase the crud out of my mind that gets in there if I watch their stuff.

Could someone describe the point for the poor non-US, non-cabled among us?

FOX propaganda or not, a movie can still be fine to look at, provided you keep your mind alert and don't sit and let the unwanted garbage pour in... Whatever the unwanted content actually is!

Actually I was surprised at the candor and the realism of the presentation. It is not a glossed over presentation of the war, George Bush style.

And from what I see, it is going to be even more realistic in terms of the things that happen in war that we prefer not to think about.

Fox or not, in my opinion, it was great. That is my opinion. Everyone is certainly entitled to his own. I do think, however, prejudgement may be premature in this case.

Watch it, then critique it.

Yeah, that Hadji whose pelvis and legs continued walking after having the torso blown off by a 40mm... what realism!

I'm talking turkey moment of the year here...

Maybe a movie of Bush joining the National Guard to avoid war would be appropriate.
Even more appropriate would be a movie of John Kerry lying to congress about atrocities in VN, thus giving aid and comfort to the enemy while giving radicals an excuse to spit on our returning troops.

No need for a "Kerry" today. There is enough lying and aid & comfort given by media like the NY Times, the LA Times, the Wa Post, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN et al to more than make up for it.

I'm not trying to start a flame war, just giving a little balance to the political comments on this thread.
