Why we fight (Let me count the ways)

Why we fight was the tag line for WWII films designed to inform and motivate the US and Troops.

Major Frank Capra assigned to the Morale Branch in Feb. 1942; ordered by Marshall to "make a series of documented, factual-information films - the first in our history - that will explain to our boys in the Army why we are fighting, and the principles for which we are fighting." (Marshall quoted by Capra)
