I totally agree, and also I hope I'll never find out.</p> <p>On the other hand, I think that in a war usually both parties comprise some seriously fucked up men (killing people is their every day task) playing by some very "flexible" rules (“Well, it’s their fault for bringing their kids into a battle”) and a good (read: responsible) war movie should pay attention to the grays between the <em>they are bad, we are good</em> ends of the spectrum. Who where the good guys in the case above? Who where the bad ones? I think war is abominable <em>especially</em> because of those grays.</p> Any thoughts? Reply to this comment.
