And the entire movie serves to prove the quote true. There is no deep plot and interestingly no political agenda. Its a movie about a rush/addiction, its complications, its victims and you can speculate on its impact on society. Think of the Robert Duvall quote from Apocaplyse Now, regretting that some day, this war will be over.

I was on the edge of my seat most of the movie. Major actors had very small parts and were killed without fanfare. The tunes were great and added to the intensity. I thought it was a high adrennaline movie.

I agree, however, I found Junger's book, War, is a better reality of what is happening over there.
I highly recommend his book, I just watched the movie from RedBox and liked the book better.
War is addicting....
