my favorite is the scene of paratroopers dropping in front of a school and just immediately starting to randomly shoot civilians and cars and blow up buses with RPGs?

and literally like a minute later they’re now trying to hail a car to stop instead of shooting it, and rounding up civilians to put them in internment camps, so I guess they had gotten the indiscriminate slaughter out of their system by that point

    I saw it as a commentary of “what if what we did to Vietnam happened to us” to try to make burger brained people empathize with Vietnamese civilians. Of course this is totally unintentional, and even if it weren’t 100% chance most people would miss that and just see it as a power fantasy of killing non-white people
