Review of 12 Strong (2018) by Kong K — 22 Jun 2018
"go win this war!" what gung-ho. spoken like any american hero, fiction or otherwise. it's amazing to see such a recent movie on the subject displays a complete lack of objective reflection, more than 15 years afterwards.
watch this as any action movie to kill a couple of hours, if you are american, may be gain some more feels good self-righteousness. the events might be historically accurate, with unavoidable dramatisation, but there's nothing noble, nor is there any novelty in seeking blood for blood.
revenge might be sweet, but ultimately irrelevant. after 16 years, the taliban is still alive and active. the war is far from won.
