Or do you think that the men and women we send in our name to kill and die for us are too simple, too young and too naive to sort the facts for themselves? Many of them probably are - they are young, busy, and nobody has made a movie for them showing an more accurate view. Don't you think that anyone, regardless of their political point of view, should object to the showing of propaganda films "full of truths, half truths and falsities", particularly a polemic specifically designed to destroy support for the war? Is accuracy too much to ask for? You know as well as I do the McCarthyite guilt-by-association tactics Moore uses in this movie, with a generous sprinkling of outright lies and fabrications. Would you have shown Triumph of the Will to US troops in WWII, and trusted that they would have democratcially been able to sort out the truth? Freedom of speech does not mean the freedom to lie without consequence.
