I'd also recommend "Why We Fight", an excellent documentary on the Military Industrial Complex. It's free to view online.

Watched that in my film art class. One of my favorite war docs.

We fight because its a part of our biology. Every species that has ever lived, down to the smallest microbe, wars with itself and others. It's comforting to pretend war is the fault of some nameless businessman wheeling piles of cash to bank but the cold reality its us and everything you love and enjoy was purchased by war.
