Download Podcast - Lack of Good War Films about Iraq and Afghanistan
This history podcast discusses the lack of quality war films about current wars. In particular, we question why there hasn't been any comedic or critical films produced about Iraq and Afghanistan. There are many films that are critical of past american wars, and darkly comedic too. Vietnam comes to mind. Today, it seems that no one in our country is allowed to say anything pejorative or critical of any american military action. Why has there been such a sea change in the last 20 years? Why can't MASH, Catch-22, Apocalypse Now, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, etc. be made today? Is this a part of a bigger problem?
