Review of Dirty Wars (2013) by Ruben M — 07 Jul 2013
It's a one-sided documentary, based on JASOC, a unit that was once a secret known to a few.
The documentary is apparently based on 2 blunders (if we believe the Afghan and the Yemeni witnesses, which as far as I can see they seem credible) from JASOC.
As terrible as wars go, the film doesn't offer an alternative where the enemy is far from clean, doesn't have an address and hides beneath civilians. It's easier to be a clean and righteous journalist than a soldier, risking your skin.
Very disappointed with the premise and the poverty of coverage. 2 cases don't condemn a country. To make a case, most Afghan women can now go to school. How do you measure that?
