Oliver Stone was wrong for writing dialogue that sounds like speechmaking
none of the conversations in that movie feel natural
>trying to moralize war
>not just accomplishing your objectives whatever the ethical costs
There's a reason journalism and communications killed traditional methods of war, civilians can't wrap their head around the horrors of war.

This. Stone's a hack. Also, saged.
Depends on who you are. For volunteers, Elias was right since they'll die quicker thus improving the gene pool. For the drafted then Reality/scar face is right, since it'll minimize risk to them and expedite the end of the war so they can get the fuck home.
Generally speaking, the only volunteers in modern war who aren't completely brainwashed are engineers and technicians who don't get shipped out, glib psychopaths who can start a black market in supply and get rich, really poor minorities with no other option, and hardworking brave people who can make a career out of it and maybe even rise to public office.

>really poor minorities with no other option
Oh yeah it's not like poor white people out of options don't enlist in droves or anything.

They do but they're more retarded. I'm no BLM terrorist, but the opportunity for a non-retarded poor white person to make it and thrive is pretty realistic. So they're taking a stupid chance by enlisting. Not so for minorities, who'll stay down because their own communities and the system keep them down.

Fuck off to /r/whiteprivilege or something /his/ is an old left class reductionist board.

>it'll minimize risk to them
>Barnes proceeds to kill his own men on a psychotic fit
Barnes was fucking crazy and a risk to everyone around him, enemy and ally alike.
Also Elias guessed the war was already lost, so technically he is correct on that front.

Dafoe is never wrong

Who did Barnes kill? Elias doesn't count, he was rocking the boat for moralfag reasons. Barnes actually gave a fuck about his men Elias was just a cuck.
