Pro-Warrior Ethos Of '300' Keeps Liberals At Home

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Apparently "war-mongering" conservatives are flopping to the film, while liberals are unhappy with the warrior ethos and the non-PC depiction of the Persians - calling it American war propaganda. Wordsmith at Flopping Aces saw the movie, and writes:

The movie was simply unapologetically pro-war, in the sense that it celebrates military virtues and military culture. Not the kind of war for empire; but one of fighting for honor, freedom, and service to country and one's brothers-in-arm.
Hmmm... "Honor, freedom, and service to country and one's brothers-in-arms." I can see why liberals are staying home.
