The smear jobs will continue. I wonder if the so called stars are going to have some say in just what is portrait in this film.

“It is based on allegations that Marines killed 24 Iraqis - including women and children - during a 2005 rampage in that Iraqi city.”

They need to make sure this is not shown as fact.

“He had some combat experience in Iraq, and he and the other guys that were in the military give it a little credence as far as reality is concerned,” said Gordon McLaren, Andrew’s father and a Vietnam War veteran. “They’ve all been there. They’ve all seen it.”

“For his service, he received the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal and the Humanitarian Service Medal, according to his honorable discharge papers.”

No CAR? He ain’t BEEN there, and he didn’t get the T-shirt.

“He also served in Iraq, hunting for improvised explosive devices on the streets of Baghdad and helping to train members of the Iraqi army.”

“McLaren returned from Iraq in 2005, but he soon went back to the war zone as an employee of the Blackwater USA private security firm. He said he earned top dollar guarding senators and Bush administration officials and even the president on one occasion.”

EOD trained personel doing high value security work, call me a sceptic but I need more proof.

Well, I guess if they can’t be REAL Marines they can at least play one on the Big Screen.

Yeah, HollywoodPOS signed up this morning, made two posts in one hour and has conveniently left the premises. His/Her staunch defense of a repugnant position is apparently more than He/She can handle. Could it be a hit & run driveby concocted by some Murtha flunky ?

No, he went back over to military.com to put on a clean suit and pout that we weren't treating him nice. The only reason he was here was he thought he could schmooze Red (WAY lol).

So why doesn’t Hollywhacked just tell the truth that these Marines are being framed by PravdABDNC and Turda?? Oh yeah, that wouldn’t fit the agenda of their propaganda which is what this garbage is about.

Problem with your Me Lie II agenda, there aren’t enough liars that will be witnesses.

Pray for W and Our Troops

I really have nothing else to add that could be of any relevence to this discussion.

All I really was trying to point out is that, IMO the film is fictional, and should not be interpreted as fact.

I think it is unfortunate that certain media outlets, and Mr. Broomfield himself have given the implication in certain interviews that he is portraying truth, especially in his earlier interviews concerning the film.

I really don’t care if you hate me or my career choice. I have no personal agenda against the war or the Marines.

I could really care less about Murtha and what ever agenda he is pushing. To me it’s just a movie, and if you’re not interested in seeing it, than don’t watch it.

Are you saying what I think? I figured that guy just had stardust in his eyes. But you're following this better than I am, I'm just trying to catch up.

No need to get all high and mighty with me.

If you truly believe "it's just a movie", as opposed to a deliberate attempt to influence public opinion to promote an agenda that's damaging to this nation, then it's you who must defend your career choice.

As far as hating you, that's a juvenile notion at best. And no, I don't want to kill your dog, Dorothy.

So you feel no sense of responsibility to the real Marines involved? That doesn’t give you the tiniest pause?

Actually, smooth, I'm not so sure this IS McLaren on our board.

On military.com, every single post is all caps with no paragraph breaks, yet here, every post is properly punctuated, even though they are interspersed time wise.

And then there's the attitude he's going straighten us out to go with the caps, and the pensive "well, ta ta" to go with the punctuated posts.

It's either a different person writing the posts, or another character.

The one thing in common is that neither care a whit for the facts.
