In the beginning Archie quarrels with the Colonel about reasons for occupying Iraq, which are morally questionable reasons, and we actually do realize that the Americans are in Iraq not for the citizens of the country, which they should be and actually told the American republic they were doing. Archie does do the good thing and save the refugees, however because of Adriana's ability to sway a story and make the American public sympathize with the refugees and the soldiers (Troy, Archie, and Elgin), the soldiers were only honorably discharged when in fact they would have been given a more strict punishment.
I also like how this film could actually be reintroduced into American culture today and still work, especially since we are in the 2nd Persian War, more or less. Really how mnuch different is this war from that one in 1991? Its still a media war, the soldiers are still unhappy, as well as the American public, and the racism is exactly the same.
All in all Awesome
p.s. I'm glad Troy didn't die-I almost had a heart attack
