Very true. Just want to point out the message is irrelevant for this purpose.

The messages might be end-to-end encrypted but what about the meta data? They might not have GPS coordinates but WiFi hot spots names have long been geo-located by the tech giants (its more power effient and works for devices without GPS). They cant read the messages but they should be able to tell where they are going. And If they can link the identity of a target to a whatsapp account there is a very good chance that account is talking to other potential targets.

If your goal is to target an individual and anyone they are talking to for assassination, a missile can delete a house associated with that WiFi name. Meta data and some open source intelegance is all you need.

This is the world we live in.

The point of the film is to show how horrible war is in a context Americans can relate to. If they made a more realistic alliance, down some sort of real life right / left politics the message would be lost and it would be held up as some sort of propaganda film by one side of politics with the other side using it to justify why they’re correct.

So, yes the “alliance between the California and Texas” is a very deliberate choice.

I use a bred knife to slice cheese off a block every day. Line it up and push down, one hand on handel the other on the spine at the top. It works better than any other knife to slice cheese blocks.

This post makes it sounds like I am committing a war crime.

You either die hero or live long enough to become sleepy Joe.
