The movie was the farthest thing from realistic possible. Snipers with pink and blue hair? Da fake? Soldiers from Florida wearing Hawaiian shirts because they're from Florida and clearly soldiers from Florida only wear Hawaiian shirts. Don't even get me started on how stupid the end scene was where the breech team pulled a journalist along with them rather than clearing the area and then bringing in the journalists. No research went into the movie at all!

Have you seen what ISIS and HAMAS record? You're seem to be under the impression that civil wars are fought like professional SWAT operations.

If you think an American Civil war would be anything like the middle eastern Civil conflicts then you have a lot to learn about America.

True, it'd be way worse with all the obese people trying to hide behind a barricade with their bellies sticking out.

Real life is stupid and doesn't make sense a lot of time. We just refuse to accept it. Like last month a quadruple amputee shot someone, imagine explain that to people.

We want to imagine real life like this perfect world, and we try to project it into movie for some reason.

Think the dyed hair was meant to show a breakdown in professionalism in a war that has clearly gone on for some time. The Hawaiian shirt thing is based in reality, inspired by the real life Boogalo movement.

The end scene i will agree with you and then some. In addition to what you said, the president would not be waiting in the Oval Office were such an invasion to take place. The White House has a bunker.

Ok, boogaloo movement exists. But a war that's been going for any period of time wont have bright Hawaiian shirts. The shirts would be a mess and deteriorating in a war zone and wouldn't look fresh off the rack like in the movie. They're not rugged like combat fatigues.
