Re: Full Metal Jerk-Off...
I wasn't trying to make any moral comparison to what the Allies were doing in WW2 and what Israel is doing now. They are two different conflicts separated by 70 years, a life-time. What upsets me is our continued need to reinforce our supposed moral authority in violent militaristic terms through the medium of entertainment. WW2 was fought and 50 million people died horrible deaths to fight a serious evil, not to provide callow, effete and entitled modern day westerners an excuse for war's glorification, even more so now as we sit, apparently in total ignorance, on our very own powder keg - I was wondering if others saw this serious cognitive dissonance? And if not why not? For instance, the gushing critic writing in the Guardian.
