I heard it had a heavy anti-war spin? Funny how it sounds like you took the opposite message from it.

What a goddamn lot of US Military Propaganda

What the hell was Redford/Streep & Cruise thinking...

I got completely the opposite message out of the film; extremely anti war. It was making the point that the media has to shoulder some of the blame for the war. I assume that the main character enlists after the events portrayed in the film. Redford's character tries to promote self determination and activism, and is very anti war, but the media spins the political message so misguided youngsters believe that joining the military is "making a difference" and "doing something".

At least, thats what I got out of it.
