Primary
The film's central thesis critiques US foreign policy and its moral responsibility for the suffering of Iraqi civilians after the Gulf War, framing individual American soldiers' humanitarian actions as a necessary defiance of the system.

Its narrative offers a subtle critique of American foreign policy and the initial motivations of its predominantly white male protagonists, focusing on actions and systemic issues rather than explicitly negative portrayals of traditional identities.
Secondary
The film portrays the Iraqi people, many of whom are Muslim, with profound sympathy and dignity, highlighting their suffering and resilience in the aftermath of the Gulf War. While some American characters initially express prejudice, the narrative consistently undermines these views, positioning the audience to empathize with the victimized population and critique the broader geopolitical context.
