The awesomeness of this is absolutely exquisite.

One issue though, is the wildly varying durabilities of the enemies. A helicopter shouldn't take 10+ hits to kill when a tank only needs 4!

This is a really interesting game concept. I liked it.
Sadly, the political message is one part sensationalism, four parts total bullshit.

It is more humor than sensationalism, a war game where you have to manage the impopularity related to casualities by putting ads on seemed funny to me. There is a real link with reality there, Increasing the rebellion level because you shoot civilians by accident as a good ironic potential, from my point of view. Thanks for playing.

A few spots seemed like they could have matched the song a bit more closely, but that doesn't keep this from being an absolutely awesome flash.

You should have tried for a more interesting relic, Mr. Carter.

Ugly, almost no sound and the script isn't explained at ALL, making it more of a "Make-your-own-RPG kit" than tutorial.
Also, this code lets you have 8-directional movement, instead of only the 4 in your example:
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
//Movement controls
character._x += character.dx;
character._y += character.dy;
if (Key.isDown(68)) {
character.dx = [Speed];
} else if (Key.isDown(65)) {
character.dx = -[Speed];
}
if (Key.isDown(87)) {
character.dy = -[Speed];
} else if (Key.isDown(83)) {
character.dy = [Speed];
}
if (!Key.isDown(65) && !Key.isDown(68)) {
character.dx = 0;
}
if (!Key.isDown(87) && !Key.isDown(83)) {
character.dy = 0;
}
I changed the areas where you put the amount to move by with [Speed]. This also uses WASD instead of the arrow keys.

and I know you are from Sweden, but your English is atrocious. ^_^;
This was a good movie, if a bit short. It also shifts a bit disconcertingly from the beginning of the war in '39 to '44-'45, as I assume the individuals using American weapons and speaking with American accents were, you know, Americans. :P

I'm amazed that this is actually LESS than a meg in size. Now THAT's optimization! ;)
This is good stuff, keep it coming! :D

One problem, though, is that when you have characters that are supposed to look like real people and you animate their mouths, it looks really weird when their jaws don't move. :P
Anyway, awesome work.
