The blogger speaks of how consumerism has affected our lives, which was demonstrated throughout the movie when the soldiers were surrounded by gold and other fine possessions. Also, how the soldiers seemed more concerned with the gold they found in Iraq that was stolen from Kuwait instead of their real purpose for fighting this war. KPaul states,
"While romping through Iraq after the gold, the heroes seem oblivious to the pain and suffering of the Iraqi people around them. The movie is also filled to the brim with reminders of how consumerism and materialism have affected all of our lives - how sometimes people think more about the objects and material things rather than human suffering and emotion."
In addition, the blogger speaks of how violence is not glorified in this film. This is rare because most war films send the opposite message.
