Disliked it honestly. I like the idea of America being strong but I don't like glorying in the gruesome...
EDIT: guess I struck a nerve with some folks. Look, I have no problem with the idea that war is gruesome. But I do have a problem with a "rah rah rah let's splatter the bad guys guts everywhere MURICA" idea that has prevailed for a while in the war-monger neocon warhawk mentality. So maybe I jumped to my dislike of that mentality, and missed the point of the clip.
That's fine, as long as we're not warping our souls by glorying in it. Be sober, but not bloodthirsty. If the point is just that war is hell, ok. No argument there.

Make no mistake, we are at war and war is hell.

Nobody is glorifying war. But we are looking for justice a in this case it demands a message.
Justice is good. We agree there
