The military-industrial complex is horrendous and I think this is a good film to watch to understand why. I was shocked but unsurprised on some level that one of the soldiers said he would rather go to jail than go back to Iraq. The purpose of our being there was so beyond not okay so I sympathize and understand what he meant. I would love for Bush to sit down with every one of those families who lost people and explain to them why we were there in the first place. It didn't make sense then. It doesn't make sense now. Those men and women didn't have to die and the fact that they did, their blood is solely on Bush's hands.
