full length feature/commercial for armed services

Rating: 3/10 (27 January 2005)

Join the modern US army, which is engaged in killing natives everywhere. I'm waiting for the follow-up about the 'Gulf Wars'. A film like this celebrates every lost American life as if it was the greatest sacrifice after Christ, but takes no pains in bringing us the faces of many of the dark skinned people who are mowed down by machine guns. They are just animals, targets, and legitimate targets of course.
Hear the US soldiers bemoan fighting a war with one hand tied behind their backs. Why can't they just nuke the place?
All in all, this is a glitzy package of war production and war propaganda from the (i.e. with the support of) the US government. If you're pro-war on any pretext and like 'flying the flag', this one is for you.
From a dramatic standpoint, there really isn't meaningful drama, although one aborted rescue attempt is memorable. I must say though, the one photo which actually made the news footage back then said volumes more than this movie ever did.
