An unflinching look at the anatomy of the American war machine
If you haven't seen this do yourself a favor


Why We Fight
2006 Sony Pictures Classics

An unflinching look at the anatomy of the American war machine, weaving unforgettable personal stories with commentary by a “who’s who” of military and beltway insiders. The film surveys the scorched landscape of a half-century’s military adventures, asking how and telling why a nation of, by, and for the people has become the savings-and-loan of a system whose survival depends on a state of constant war.

1. "We" fight because....
of idiots like george bush. His decision to invade Iraq has been a failure on SO many levels it's hard to know where to begin. We fight because petulant, spoiled, ignorant fools like george bush get us into wars that we have no business getting into. That's my opinion anyway. The rest of you can hash it out.

2. Old men, war profiteers, sending young men & women to do the dying...
the LAST REAL SOLDIER to serve as president HATED THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX...Ike the Republican president that saw more men die than any president since Teddy Roosevelt, and said the truth about the wounded and killed in action.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHY JOHN KERRY would have done a great job as president, with a war he didn't start.
Compassion is absent the war profiteer corporate lackies.

6. Thanks for the additional link.
It is very good at explaining why this is beyond
Democrat or Republican.

It's a way of Life.

It shows without a shadow of a doubt that the United States
Military is a tool for Corporate America
more so now than ever.

A must see...
