has anyone ever seen this movie?

i understand that it tells very good lessons.

it's got mel gibson in it. it basically talks about how aussie troops were used and abused by the british in ww1.

it's not a bad flick. it's not that heavy on the morality or preaching

Heh, in college this professor whose granded was in ANZAC during the war told us how in WW1, Australia had the world's highest ratio of casualties (almost 50%).

Brave, yet fast to fall. I saw this movie at the college film thingomajig, except I think I saw the older version (certainly no mel gibson).

at that stage, aussies were still lower class convicts, to be used in battle by the (usually incompetent) british ruling class officers at their discretion.

things have changed since then. nowadays our troops are used by US officers at their discretion

Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you.
