This movie is being used as water cooler fodder at the workplace. People are being quizzed as to their opinions on the film and then judged as to whether that opinion fits in with the ruling clique at their workplace...and repercussions will follow.

A student here mentioned that he saw a good turnout in a town that has a fair amount of military families in it and that it was hopeful. Without asking him how he would know if people attending were in the military, I did ask him what he was getting at, he said that if there were military people, then they aren't as dumb as he thought. Controlling myself, I pointed out that most of the military was and is highly educated, but I was dismissed, as he went on to say that when these people get out, they are going to be working for people like him (he's 20) so he had every right to be concerned about their education level and skills.
