The movie is fantastic btw. It's a love story to war journalism and an actual fantastic depiction of what civil war here would be like.

One of the few movies I've watched repeatedly.

You’re one of the few people I’ve heard have as high opinion of that movie as I do. I love it, but basically everyone else I know hated it.

To me, the apoliticality was completely immersion breaking. The degree to which I was cognizant that the story being presented was written in a context where it was actively avoiding offending portions of its audience by not addressing the politics of the most political setting you could pick was just too much.

I took it on face value as "enemy of my enemy" and that all that really matters is the US was boned regardless of who was teaming up. Like after the events of the movie, Texas and Cali end up going after each other and the war gets worse.
