Why We Fight

A hair-raising, thought-provoking, insightful Eugene Jarecki documentary that intersperses interviews with politicians (such as John McCain), government leaders and advisors, military writers (such as Gore Vidal) and historians, and distrustful John Q. Public, including a revengeful New York City policeman grieving the death of his son during 9/11 and an idealistic recruit pinning his hopes for the future on the Army, with archival film footage of war that spans five decades as it tries to unveil the truth behind the big business of war and the increasing war machine, to examine the cost-benefit of war and the military-industrial complex, and to answer why American goes to war.
