I frankly don't know what the message of this movie is supposed to be. War is bad? That message is gone with the wind i.e. Dated. US society polarized enough to have people go at each other's throat - you would have to be blind to not have noticed that big parts of society live in different perception of reality. The movie avoids to take any political stand. The president's party affiliation is never mentioned and western forces being comprised of California and Texas is made to avoid direct correlation to current politics. Also it is not put out how the situation escalated in the first place before the president did what he did, even if we can assume that a Trump would definitely be able to order these things. It is not explained how public order has broken down offside the battlefield. So we as audience are put there knowing even less than the average American in that movie.
I have no idea what the movie is to evoke in the audience other than discussion of broken premises. The production value of the movie is comparatively low - some cheap CGI here, some national guard footage there ? The sound design is nasty for making the gunshots very loud and to have inappropriate songs after grim scenes.
