I want to say right from the start that I am not starting a fight here, however I do want to say this.
I find the concept where people say they enjoyed watching this type of film a bit of a worry. War is not enjoyable and if many of you had trained in the Armed forces you would be as horrified as I am about the comments made here. I know you are saying you think the filming, acting and script is good but let me say when people start shooting at you for real you don't think any of this stuff is great, fantastic or excellent and no it ain't exciting either. At a time in which our 95 year of ANZAC is upon us I feel saddened that people want to see simulated war films and feel we have become a bunch of voyeurs. War is the worst form of political negotiation and while these films are trying to show the hardship, just encourage goulish appetites for more bloodlust. Believe me when someone shoots at you for real you nearly **** yourself and you are not thinking about the action. You are wondering if you are gonna live through this and praying to god that you do. Bruce Ruxton is right there ain't no atheists on the battlefield.
Anyway I will go back to my imaging now. Just wanted to say what I was thinking about this stuff.
