One statement in this film bordered on the prophetic. The narrator says, "War only takes what we let go of." Coupled with a wry statement made earlier in the film, "Soldiers risk their lives defending the civil rights we've already given up to protect ourselves." You can sense the futility in trying to rationally reconcile or correlate the defense of freedom and democracy (especially in Iraq today) with the protection of civil liberties back home.
