“Whether a persons view are pro or anti war, most of us understand that it is a very serious issue, and prefer to make our opinion on facts instead of naked propaganda.”
Good one, Ken. This, for me, is the crux of the biscuit. The American public is already hyper-informed about the WoT and Iraq. We are well on top of the issues and we take them damn seriously. There’s no aspect of these conflicts – from bad body armor to the ethics of rendition and torture – that we haven’t been discussing (which is to say, at each other’s throats about) since the beginning. We KNOW we have complex, intractable problems to deal with, and we’re dealing with them. Hollywood’s trite, pre-packaged lessons don’t help. We simply do not NEED these pampered airheads telling us things we’ve already heard a thousand times from far more credible sources.
