We learn, amazingly, that among themselves Iraqis speak perfect English, yet when in the company of the American military, they don't do so good and need the help of translators. Gee, let's not tax the audience and use subtitles to achieve verisimilitude.

Note that at the beginning of the movie, we are notified that certain scenes and characters are invented for dramatic effect. Who said the mainstream audience couldn't handle a movie about Reagan?

As for the movie, picture a hybrid of Saving Private Ryan and ER.

If you substituted the words "the French" for Iraqis your statement would make equally perfect sense /images/graemlins/grin.gif
