Hypocrisy? War Porn?

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2002)

We americans are so hypocritical, we don't see reality. This is what I get from many on this website. I find that odd, seeing as most of these oh-so-enlightened folks has never stepped foot in danger, never felt bullets rush past their head, never seen their best friend bleed to death on a filthy table in a dirt town of Somalia. I find it disgusting, and insulting that the automatic assumption of viewers is that the US is always rushing in to do evil. That is what they expect. Though they would be hard pressed to deflect the fact that it is the blood of American soldiers that keeps their lands free, and has done so for that past 100 years. No one is doubting the bravery and courage of British and Aussie troops who fought for their own countries, but who maintains that freedom??
It is not that the users on IMDB are excersing their right to free speech that insults me. What insults americans, and members of its military like myself, is the fact that these people sit back on their lily white butts and forget the young men who should have lived long lives and never worried about their next breath. Instead they insult their memories with their scathing reviews. Believe what you will about American foreign policy but do not insult my countryman's names and memories to make yourself feel intelligent and insightful.
