| 9. No offense, but did you even watch the movie? |

The movie if anything was a rather brilliant (with some acting caveats) piece of celluloid on how war victimizes both: the soldiers who fight it, and the civilians who suffer it.
The movie portraits how damaged and dysfunctional the life of the main character becomes, how you can extract a "pro-war" stance from that leads me to believe you were more interested in a pre fab narrative, regardless of facts.
