Well I don't know, someone like Moore is actually very bland type of 'radical documentarian', especially from a European perpective. I know in US he is seen as the new Lenin or something. :haha: Bunch of marketing bs if you ask me.

And the movies you mention, very bland. Apocalypse Now? They showed US soldiers smoking pot and one instance of them being trigger happy. How 'radical'. Jarhead? I would call that a pro-military movie and also book by Swofford. Yes I read it, wasn't very good, and neither was the movie.

Edit. Also I don't remember Coppola getting assistance from the US military for his film, the helicopters used were from the military of the Philippines if I remember correctly. Jarhead got assistance from the US military and why not? It was as pro-war as can be. I haven't seen Tell the Spartans or MASH.

Safe in the Air ? Or on the ground ? its all relative to support, technical & physical
As a leopard gunner I was credited with 3 chopper kills in 1 day ! 2 of them were hunting us
I love the smell of cordite in the morning:cool:

This movies is not about whether Israel is trying to clear its good name, but solely the work of its director - who experienced trauma close to this and wanted to show the world a true wartime movie -> even if you make it, its a hell of a unpleasant experience. Add to that the horror of being trapped in a steel cage in a city-inviroment wont help a bit.

But I was put of with the scenes where the gunsights strol through civilians and such...was that a daydream?
