Fury, Film Review





[From article]
Every American should see this movie, especially the academic boobs in the White House who never served in the military but now make decisions like waging a halfway, sort-of, semi-war against ISIS and sending our troops to fight Ebola in Africa, two misguided uses of our armed forces.
[. . .]
It does, however, convey to the audience the ugly brutality of war, the unfair and unforgiving nasty business of killing that leaves permanent scars on cities, landscapes and souls, and how it inflicts on our own troops monotony, fatigue, stupidity, terror, filth, hunger, brushes with death and utter despair.
[. . .]
No matter how much bombing and pounding from the air and artillery, taking and holding ground to defeat an enemy is the dirty, miserable job of boots on the ground, even in our modern world.
[. . .]
As it is, the American public is weary from wars we didn’t have to fight just when an enemy has emerged that we must fight and our neophyte president mixes politics with military strategy and foolishly advertises to our enemy he is taking ground troops off the table, relying on air strikes. In a perfect world our politicians would be veterans who realize hell-on-earth is unleashed when opposing armed forces meet to tear each other to pieces, and that half – measures just get more of our own killed while overwhelming force tends to get the nasty job done quickly.
