Great Walmart dig during "Saving Jessica Lynch."
Yes, I watched it and it was worth the dig. There's a scene with Jessica and her friend talking about Jessica joining the Army. The friend says, "You could always get a job at Walmart." To which Jessica responds, "They already have 50 applications." So this is the choice in America? Join the Army or work at Walmart?

1. Yah I saw it too
And while the propaganda level of the film was, to me, rather appalling it was a great dig at Wally World.

As a side note, I was surprised that they put that line in about Allah considering all life precious, even Americans. That just can't have gone over too well with the neocons who want us to think all Arabs/Persians/Turks/Kurds etc are evil horrible people following an evil horrible religion because they 'hate our freedoms' or some other, similar tripe.

2. I actually thought the propaganda level was on the low side.
And I couldn't believe the line that they had the Fedeyen guy say to Jessica when she was on the ground after the attack, "Welcome to my country." Weird.
