I get so annoyed when I watch American TV shows for two reasons:

1. there always has to be some moral that must be taught to the viewer in the most moronic manner.
2. the military heroes who die fighting and defending America (while actually in foreign lands against enemies who are vastly under powered in technology). The shows always show these poor heroes fighting against vast numbers of ruthless cruel enemies.

I do not deny that the individual solders are brave in difficult situations, but the lust for oil, not the oppressed civilians, is the driving force of the American Military Industrial Complex.
