All dramatizations of historical events play fast and loose with the facts. From Shakespeare on down. In any case Munich doesn't make the case that the Mossad are equivalent to the terrorists. Nothing of the sort. But I was referring specifically to the assertion that one of the American filmmakers most respectful of the Military, he had them flown in to see the premier of War of the Worlds (a film which shows them as the primary force for order and stability) makes films that 'trash the military'.

Like I said, I haven't seen Munich, and don't intend to, but I have read some of Spielberg's comments on it, and it seemed to me that he made very much a moral equivalence. Since you've seen it, I'll certainly yield to your take on it. I agree with you that Spielberg has never been negative about the US military that I've noticed, and would also point out that although Tom Hanks is a lefty, he has never, to my knowledge, said anything negative about the US, and has been a big booster of the space program, and spent quite a bit of time helping to raise funds for a WWII memorial.
