People in my country treat war and the meatpacking industry much the same. We like winning wars and watching other people fight them just like we like minute steaks and the occasional rib-eye. The process that goes into *making* those things happen, OTOH, is nasty, brutish, and often depressing to read about and we can't have *that* in our shiny happy land o' the free and home o' the brave. Hence why this video, which should surprise no-one the least bit informed about how US soldiers fight wars in real life becomes a target of opprobrium for noting reality as it is, and hence why we want video-game war and neglect the reality of the situation, always violent, bloody, and messy and seldom having any real options at the end or the beginning to make everything worthwhile.
