I watched the clip but not the whole movie. For thos who have seen it, is it fair to say the film depicts soldiers in a relatively victim status rather than heroic status.
In essence Iraq is a hopelessly mess and we struggle in vain to change it.
I didn’t get the feeling that it’s political at all. Highlighted their bravery. Main underlying theme of the main character is he is addicted to it and it’s his only true love.
