It really isnt difficult, at all, to understand why the country adores Lone Survivor. In the last fifty years, there are two ways to tell a war story: in the first (over-represented) way, some flower-shop lefty at the top of the Hollywood food chain sends Americans off on some morally compromised mission where the participants actually lament their cause, both during and after the encounter. Its the sort of cliche Oliver Stone can produce by the truck load. (See the last Tommy Lee Jones, Susan Sarandon piece of dreck, as well) In the second, a warrior tradition is celebrated and a pack of evil, spiritually dark enemies (yes, enemies) are presented -- get this! -- as, (can we do this? Its pretty radical..) THE ENEMY.
