Is Fullmetal Alchemist saying anything? (hexbear.net)

I've always read it as at least a little bit a comment on the Iraq war, but what's it's deal? It's the only anime I can think of that climaxes with a military coup, and its cool that mustang wants to put people on trial for war crimes, but then he gets in power and doesn't do it.

It's also just got a whole plotline about racism, but it feels slightly off? Like minorities are okay if they save your life.

I've never seen it before and know nothing about it but here's my take, it is a regressive and reactionary text to be viewed only in order to facilitate to most ruthless and scathing criticism. I also add that incurse Full metal Alchemist and all who enjoy it to an early and well deserved grave.

Some corrupt general get's thrown into liquid concrete and they build a wall on top of him, thought.
