I finally saw this film. It's a masterful piece of filmmaking that challenged me personally and morally.
Waterboarding? **** 'em.
Kill "innocent" women during the raid? **** them, too.
Kill UBL? **** YEAH.
But all throughout, I kept thinking about the trillions of dollars spent in Iraq and Afghanistan. Taking off my stinkin' flip flops (yes, flip flops) at the airport when I travel. The countless and needless deaths and amputees that have come home in the past twelve years.
I'm glad he's dead but I can't help but think think that America is Ahab (irony at its finest) and UBL the white whale.
