If you like Michael Moore, you'll love this movie 2010-08-24

Reviewer: Peter J. Brennan

This is an intellectually dishonest movie, starting with the title, which leads one to believe it's a modern day version of a Frank Capra classic. The real title should be: "How the military industrial complex makes us fight because we're too stupid to think for ourselves and it's a lie that millions of people living under brutal dictatorships lack freedom."
Right off the bat, the film shows a former CIA agent talking about blowback, with the inference that 9-11 was our fault for trying to liberate millions in the Muslim world.
If you approve of Michael Moore's theory that health care in Cuba is better than the U.S., this is the film for you.

Bold Assertion 2010-07-28

Reviewer: Marc

Why do we fight? The story of the military industrial complex, Eisenhauers assertion that it can unseat our government and corrupt our political process is right on. This movie gives credibility to the report recently written by Dana Priest from the Washingtonpost in regards to the intelligence community's overreaching and overarching influence and growth, which is unaccountable in regards to how the national dollars are being spent.

A "must see" for everyone in America 2010-03-25

Reviewer: K. hermanson

"Why We War" is like "american policy and history for those that didnt pay attention" (didnt want to say "for dummies")
for those that wonder what happened to the America that used to be the "leader of the modern day world", wonder no more. buy the dvd of Why We Fight.

For the younger adults and teens, I think this is a good primer of what the heck went on, and getting you up to speed, so that perhaps you can live in the America or even a portion of what we experienced before the "military industrial complex" ruined this country by allowing the richest and greediest among us, to steal our gov't right out from under us, and we for the most part, dont still understand that.

For the older people like myself, its brought so much to mind, that I used to see on the news, or read about. Only now its all in one interesting film, that goes year by year and you'll fully understand what has happened to us and hopefully young and old alike, can take a stand and try to get our country back. It will definitely cause you to wonder, why we didnt see this coming? Well some of the people did, but the press didnt even scream it out loud and clear. I wonder if they knew?

its not expensive, buy it, watch it and make up your own mind, but it changed my politics completely and I will never be the same person after viewing this movie several years ago. Its an easy film to watch, not hard to understand, and its not just for "history buff". It was made for everyone, I believe. Those that like history and politics and those that could care less. Its as interesting as some fiction govt movies we watch these days, but the truth usually is quite interesting, if someone communicates it with integrity and without a slanted agenda of their own.
I hope my simple words, explain the importance of this film, to all Americans. Please see it, I've been saying this to everyone I come across since the day I saw it. It will touch your emotions, in a deep way, and any blinders you've been seeing through, will most likely be gone. Truth is what the agenda is in this film.
Its not liberal or conservative. Every thing that is shown, happened, and anyone alive at that time, knows it. Amazon gives it a bad rating, but practically everyone that rated it gave it 5 stars. (170 people) a few with 4...but its a Must See, if you plan to live in America for the rest of your life, voting and being a good citizen etc. If you do, see this and then at least you will know what goes on, behind who and what you are voting for.

Eisenhower's warning lost in oblivion 2010-02-23

Reviewer: Kernel08

I had no idea how this US expresident warned people about the birth of a "military industrial complex", and how US would become an empire, like Roma at its time. The truth is that nobody certainly knows why we fight at all. The answer is in this film: business. Eisenhower knew this and told the people to stay alert about the coming business whose only interest is keeping war on and on, just to have customers to whom they can sell their products. Good documentary.
