errm.... do you mind elaborating, Biivis - cuz I totally agree with Blue.
I really don't get people's issue -Its about perspective...
What is more, EVEN IN a war, other nations have had romantic views of it all in some context and this is represented in theri writings. The fact this generation is suddenly anti-war altogether doesn't mean we should anachronistically paste our impression upon the way it was percieved in the past. There are, and always have been many perspectives of war in the past, just as now... Both in America and the rest of the world
The impression that Americans are naive, overbloated and war-mongering and the rest of the world has a more realistic impression about war is a bloody lie... Their media just shows this side is all...
I mean, really... Apart from hardcore WW2 fans, most people would just like to see a movie where good triumphs over evil - Even SPR, for the average viewer was a bit harsh... Can you fault them?
