    War, by its very nature is political. Probably war could be defined as “violent political disagreement”.

      A lot of war movies don’t really show the personal or political motivations for both sides. Some sure do. But a lot of them are almost more of man VS god or man VS nature in their plots.

      In A New Hope, we watch a young man get radicalized. Han grapples with reasons to fight the whole trilogy. Etc
