We also saw the film today. I was somewhat surprised the place was packed, sold out for a 3:15 matinee in suburbia. There was little in the film that a well-read individual wouldn't have come across. But many folks are not well read, so the footage and the points being were new to many of the movie-goers. It was rather interesting the older guy sitting next to me, a veteran, was clapping and cheering as the credits rolled. Which brings me to one other point, those who accuse Moore of denigrating the US Military don't know what they're talking about. Having served in the US Army for two years, there was nothing in the film disrespectful of the troops. The sequence where the guys were talking about playing loud rock music as they barrelled in with their tanks was typical combat technique. Only back then, my unit's favorite tune was Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Chile. And for the guys who were sent back to the US Army Hospital at FT Campbell, KY the favorite album very quickly became "I Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die", with a certain song sung loudly and often.
