You really don't seem to realize that the characters involved in the plot WERE involved in a localized drug war do you?

War films may illustrate the realism and ferocity of war on foreign lands and soils, the film "No Country For Old Men", much like the film "American Gangster", was about the war we face in our own cities and communities.

The film wasn't about one side beating down the boogeyman while getting a bloody nose in the process, it was about the harsh, unrelenting reality of the criminals whom freely walk among us and what they are capable of and what lengths they will go to in order to achieve their goals.

You don't have to appreciate the film for it's brutal honesty in a fictional setting (what a paradox), but I do find it incredulous that you fail to see the story for what it is.
