Iraq war equals Vietnam as narrated by Sean Penn

Warning: Spoilers
I'm getting very tired of the Hollywood crowd trying to force opinion on the Iraq war. Everyone agrees war is bad but this movie is just a joke when it claims the USA's government only wants never-ending war since 1945 with no reason.

This film conveniently skips over just and victorious combat like the "Operation Desert Storm" war when the USA liberated Kuwait from Saddam. It also ignores how Saddam continued to violate ceasefire agreements he had signed up until the day his control of Iraq was taken from him. That doesn't further the argument so let's go back to the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" thing. The war in Afghanistan isn't even mentioned once.. perhaps because the USA was victorious there too and we can't have that.

I think the thing that bothered me most about this bit of bleeding heart liberal propaganda, complete with crying babies, was that they never bother to tell you why the USA is always promoting war as they put it. Are we to assume that the USA and it's government since WW2 is inherently evil? Do they start wars for fun? Come on, throw me a bone here.

I've already given this movie more consideration than they gave their audience. I gave it a rating of "1". I would've given it at least a "5" if they attempted to give a possible reason the USA promotes war other than that's what they always do.

Not recommended for educated people.
