Personally I think its a lame 'me too' political attempt to pile on a popular opinion.

Thats an unfair judgment. The documentary does not judge the war itself at all, because that isn't the point of the documentary. So, whether or not he supports interventionalist wars is irrelevant when discussing the documentary, because the subject matter was strictly on how the war was handled. In that, I thought it did a very good job showcasing it.
