Is military fiction with an anti-war message hypocritical for relying on conflict to keep a reader hooked?

>>	Anonymous Thu May 1 23:50:23 2014 No.4842901 Why would it be? Using something as fictional entertainment is entirely different from endorsing it actually happening in real life.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 1 23:51:39 2014 No.4842905 The Eye of the Heron neatly avoids that problem, imo.

When done well I find it works better because it is being hypocritical.
>Wars bad.
Yeah, wars suck!
>war and interesting conflict
Yay, exciting boom boom guns!
>You're a cunt, feel ashamed
I am a cunt

Spec Ops: The Line was really good at this
