Beautifully stated.

I mean yeah, but say Platoon has something very different to say about war than say Grave of the Fireflies.  You can say “war is shitty” in a lot of different meaningful ways.

Does it have anything new to say about war? That’s an odd question to ask but whatever. My takeaway is that if you have the chance to kill a German who wants to kill you, you kill him first and humanity be damned. But that’s just me.
