The problem comes when the fight is centered here and all of our freedoms that we take for granted give the advantage to the bad guys, since they don't give a flying **** about rules, laws, rights or human life. We'll be trying to fight them with one hand behind our back, since we can't operate on the same level they do. And, we'll be fighting with our police, not out military, and that is not in our favor either. If you don't think at some point we will be forced to re-consider some of our rights, in order to protect the populace, then maybe you should look at recent developments in other Western countries. That's what I'm talking about.
Clint's movie isn't really a traditional war movie. It's a study in human nature; about individuals and their relationships. It's intended to make you think, not to pick a side about the conflict in the background. Had Spielberg directed it, i think it would have been a more traditional war movie.
And, by the way, I think the wrestling match was with a Texas Ranger, not a SEAL. FWIW...
