Heavily edited, so for the rest of the conversation with Tapper follow the link.

I read the book, so I had to see the movie.

To all who served, thank you very much.

I also read Tapper's Afghanistan book. In it he was very tough on the Bush administration's defense dept policies yet couldn't find even a few words to criticize Obama's, even though casualties have proportionately tripled under the latter.

Tapper may have asked relatively tougher questions than the rest of the toads in the news media but he still thinks like a liberal.

We saw “Lone Survivor” Sat nite with 17 other parents of active duty military, mostly Navy and Marines, including an active duty SEAL.

To quote my dear wife, “This movie should be required watching for every American.”

Oh yes, I almost forgot. Jake Tapper is a fool.

The website Box Office Mojo reports the Afghanistan war movie “Lone Survivor” opened to an estimated $38.5 million this weekend, which is second all-time in January behind 2008's sci-fi monster film “Cloverfield.”..

I'm sorry...I really wanted to read the entire interview, I went to the link. The FIRST sentence was the above...What in the hell kind of screwed up association is this?

This movie he's talking about, and he takes the lame, lazy journalist way out and Googled 'box office,' 'opening weekend,' and Afghanistan + Wahlberg, and 'biggest $ + (I don't need anything else cogent and applicable). THEN, he gets into the meat of this interview. I mean, hey - ohhhhh-kayyyyyy...

To be truthful, I wouldn't have even bothered to reply and chalk it up to lazy-a$$ed journalism, but, damn!,

Any sane person would have said "nope, not even gonna go there" seeing "CLOVERFIELD" as the second moola contender and seeing this doofus actually mention that theft-DVD-felony.

A man like Lutterell would have an easier time speaking and being understood by a space alien from Alpha Centauri than a metrosexual like Tapper.

[Dr. Ursus]

There’s a HBO special on the making of the movie.

Pretty sure Wahlberg is a conservative too. He’s extremely Christian, pro military and never hear him support Obama or leftwing causes(which is usually a sign of a closeted Hollywood con).

Tapper has some fans on FR. See the other threads on this subject.
