From www.peterlafarge.com: Academy Award winning director Clint Eastwood is directing a film produced by Steven Speilberg called Flags of Our Fathers for Fall 2006 release. This movie will follow the story of Ira Hayes and the other 2 soldiers who raised the flag at Iwo Jima and survived the war, only to find themselves being used as pawns by the American government to sell war bonds. Hayes died at age 32 on his poverty-stricken reservation a mere 10 weeks after a monument was erected, as Peter sang "two inches of water in a lonely ditch was a grave for Ira Hayes." Top Native American actor Adam Beach (Smoke Signals, Windtalkers) will play Ira.

aw jeez... they're even going to screw up Iwo Jima.... maybe it'll be a classic like "Jarhead", "Pearl Harbor" or "windtalkers" or whatever that was....f'ing joke. I'm waiting for the first jihadist to frag out Hollywood or Santa Monica...

I'm sure they'll find out that #1 it's Bush's fault

#2 Women and Minorities affected the most

#3 America was really the bad guy to use these vets to sell war bonds... when the money should have gone to substance abuse programs and reparations....

why even bother..just avoid the movie...
