   I thought it was f'ckin ridiculous, but the one thing that really struck me   
   was the propaganda bits.  My grandfather and I watched the "Why We Fight"   
   series that was shown to all new soldiers during World War II, and the   
   comparisons to the propaganda bits in the movie are both striking and   
   deliberate. I bet it could have been a much better movie if they'd have   
   ditched the 90210 campiness.   
      
   Best battlefield gore of any "war" movie ever, though.
