I just watched Why We Fight
It's the best documentary I've seen in a long time. It's been out for a couple of years, but somehow I missed it until now.

The film examines the rise of the military-industrial complex and the causes of our wars and conflicts in the 20th century to the present. Damn good flick. Check it out if you haven't already.

2. No. Copyright 2005.
There is a reference to the old training films, though. I guess I should have made that distinction.

5. You looking for me?
One of my professors recommended this movie to me when it first came out. However, after years of listening to Democracy Now and, after watching the farcical build up to the attack on Iraq, I am well aware of our reasons for fighting. I'm glad you liked it, I hope more people get to see it too.
