This statement seems to be written by someone who has never been trained by the military, and who has no intention of knowing what it is the military does. At a time when mounting U.S. and Iraqi casualties in Iraq have alarmed the American public, the movie seems to celebrate war, militarism and battlefield carnage On the other hand, this statement: At the Battle of Thermopylae, the Spartans were hopelessly outnumbered, but they fight to the end, refusing to surrender. "They fight even when they could have escaped," she noted. "They are making a statement of what it is to be a Spartan. It's a hugely tear-jerking thing." ... would reflect the heroism and sacrifice that the military makes for their country.... It would be good to think that ALL members of Congress would be such defenders of our Country and its citizens, but one look at the shenanigans of the last few months, totally negates that thought.
