The article highlights that the old management at AIG including Edwards Liddy would have somewhat restricted the initiatives that need to be taken to allow the company to become efficient even in the recessionary market. The author mentions “with a major shake-up among its decision makers, new management will have the opportunity to continue with Liddy’s plan to further reshape the company, or put their own stamp on how to create a leaner, more efficient AIG.” (Bernard, 2009)

The American soldiers are professionally trained and I could not expect them to commit crimes against the humanity as portrayed in the movie The Hurt Locker. The movie clearly displays the American solders shooting innocent civilians including those who are making a simple phone call. The shooting of the civilians who were adjacent improvised explosives devices with any knowledge of their evidences this. Further, I could not expect the American combats to be undergoing such a tough job that even caused the rifts among the teams. The division among solders clearly displays that they were fearing for their lives and what they were undergoing was very tough moments in their line of duty.

The major objective of the movie is to disclose more precisely to the Americans and the global audience about the lives of the American soldiers in the Iraqi war. The movie tries to show what the other journalist and media in general cannot show in the live news about the real situation. The action-thriller moves clearly shows the problems the US solders go Iraqi and the aftermath of the war. It brings into reality the solder struggles against the insurgents and the differences among the solders too. The brutal deaths, the bloody incidences, the scotching sun should not be assumed by the mass media but the movie brings reality close to the Americans. It reveals the tough duty under tough circumstances from within and without and the reasons behind every action which the American civilian cannot imagine.

Among the greatest strengths of the movie is the ability to bring the happenings in the Iraqi war close to the picture. Considering that majority of the global residents were not aware of the problems the US soldiers were facing and the problems they were causing to the innocent civilians, the movie brought the reality to the world these realities. More so, it was able to show that the war affected the normal lives of the soldiers who served in Iraqi. They could not live a normal live even after leaving Iraqi as revealed by James, who leaves Iraqi to have a son but even after having son, he is not alienated from the war. This is an evidence of the movie’s opening quote that “…for war is a drug” (The Hurt Locker) meaning that war is addictive. Many American families with solders serving in Iraqi and the American citizens opposed this war due to its effect in their loved ones and the effect on the innocent Iraqi residents.
