Are you guys kidding me? A movie on Iraq while the war continues (besides the Mission Accomplished ordeal)?

I don't want this thread to go entirely political, so let's just stick to basis of the movie and the idea.

Sure the movie might be about soldiers returning home and facing some trials and tribulations, but does it seem fair to bring this up as the war continues down there?

Also, is this an issue of whether or not the war is over and done with? Because this is, once again, a war that doesn't look like it's going to end anytime soon.

To me the idea seems unrational. As lives continue to be lost in Iraq, we have a script being written out and a cast. Maybe I'm too emotional, but the timing is no where near to being right.

Looking at movies like The Deer Hunter and Apocalypse Now, both movies came out quite sometime the war had ended.

What are your thoughts?
