In all honesty, I think involving current conflicts in a fantasy film would be an affront to the people serving in those locations, and to anyone who has died or been seriously injured, whether they be soldiers or civilians. There's really no need to mention Iraq, either to support or condemn the action, as the focus should be on Joes vs. Cobra. I think we're currently under a larger microscope because we're really the only superpower state left in the game. China is close, but they're not there yet. If they did, it would betray the story I grew up reading, and I would join you in criticizing the project. All I'm saying now is that the logical approach is to wait and see before rushing to judgment. Oh my god I think we have reached a concensus! World peace is at hand... lions and lambs laying together... mass chaos! |
