Why We Fight

Saw Why We Fight last night.

It's a very interesting documentary investigating the economic and political motivations behing America's Military Industrial Complex, as coined by Eisenhower.

It also looks at the public perception of why America is at war and what it is trying to acheive along with the justifications of those that serve in the armed forces and are considering active service as a career option.

Any one else had a chance to see this.

**bump**

I just watched this with my wife, and we were both mesmerized by the combination of information and visuals. Every American should see this film, period. We borrowed a copy from the Denver Public Library, and I'd encourage others into looking into their library systems for a copy.

I'm curious as to how many others here have seen this film, because I would like to discuss some of the deeper implications...such as how this crisis might combine with others (including dwindling supplies and enviromental impact of fossel fuels as well as the looming health care crisis of baby-boomers reaching retirement age).
