I have read and re-read this interview with Ruiz and no matter how you slice it, or what you want to call it, this film will do nothing but “harm” our Marines! Ruiz has portrayed Frank as a cold-blooded murderer WHICH HE IS NOT!! And neither are any other Haditha Marines! Anyone who sees this film and doesn’t know the Haditha circumstances will think that our Marines are guilty, guilty, guilty!! For his 15 minutes of fame Ruiz has, like the media, blemished Frank’s reputation and that of his fellow Marines! I, for one, am mad as hell!
Agreed, Mom. Ruiz has been dazzled by the attention he’s getting and has even picked up all the usual Leftwing talking points about everything being Bush’s fault.
The way the Haditha Marines have been used as symbols for political points is absolutely sickening and disgraceful. And when former Marines are doing it for their own gain, we’ve hit rock bottom.
