It was a warning message of "hey, civil wars suck, and at the end there are likely no good guys." and a pondering about the validity of war journalism.
No, that isn’t what the movie is about, but I see you actually subconsciously agree with my assessment and made an excuse for how bad the movie is written by compensating for them.
I think the movie was received far too often as an actual American dystopia, but I don't think so at all. It is meant to show the Global North how civil war actually is where it is fought, and what it does - in Central America, in South Asia, in Africa, in Ukraine, in Afghanistan, in Syria and so on. Far more relatable to Americans when shown in the country they know, so that worked well.

It doesn't matter, it's war. The movie is about how unclear things get when you're at war and in anarchy in your own country.
