Well if you're launching a religious crusade, which seems to be pretty much what the US beleive they're doing, then it's not unreasonable to suggest that members of the religion you're trying to suppress won't make be most effective in doing so.

heh. TBF, it's easy to forget these days. I tend to get reminded when I first see everyone on the BBC wearing poppies and think, "ah, it must be next Sunday". In fact, it's likely the three Sundays hence.
I nearly always start wearing a poppy from the 4th.

yes - it's a little disjointed, but if you can do the whole "suspension of dispelief" thing, it's hilarious. Alsmost all of the acting is supurb (MacGregor's accent slips a couple of times). And really, there is some sound advice: don't try and fly a helipcopter after eating a bunch of powdered eggs that have been made up with LSD... I read the Jon Ronson series of essays on which it's not "based on" but "inspired by" which I think helped with my enjoyment of the "envisionment"[1] of the book.
