This is one of several dozen short films that are currently posted on IMDb for viewing in the United States. For how long and if it's available where you live is something you'll just have to check out for yourself.
This film is based on a short story by Mark Twain written during the very bloody conflict where American soldiers conquered the Philippines.. It begins at a church service where the crowd is praying for soldiers serving abroad and the atmosphere is akin to a pep rally. Suddenly, an ill-dressed man enters and announces that God has heard their prayers and he's ready to grant them exactly what they wish for--if that's REALLY what they want.
The film is well made and very, very hard-hitting. It is very clearly anti-war and its point is to get you to re-examine your attitudes towards your country's enemies. There's a very good chance it will offend you, but more importantly it does make you think and any film that does that is a success.
