That movie isn't helping anyone at all, and it's delusional to think it is. Not a single person changed their mind about anything. People who loved it already agreed, people who hated it already disagreed. It didn't change anyone's views. Thus, it didn't help anyone. That's the only way entertainment CAN ever help anyone after all, by changing their views.
About people signing up JUST for the money anc complaining when they get deployed. I have no sympathy. They knew the risks, and deserve anything that happens as a result. If they really, truly believed that they would NOT be sent out and that was their right to not be sent out when they signed up, they are idiots. Honestly, how does anyone go through even basic training and still lack enough common sense to realize their lives are now at the beck and call of the military? They DID IT TO THEMSELVES, so wet willy for you!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
