I saw "Redacted" last night on HD Movies Net. I have never almost shot my television like that. I was so mad that if I EVER see Cuban or DePalma in public, I will beat them within an inch of their lives.

They portrayed me and my fellow soldiers all as knuckle dragging redneck retards whom only desire sex, booze, drugs, and violence.

It was the worst portrayal of US soldiers I have ever witnessed.

Anyone who quotes ANYTHING in this movie as "fact" or "reality" should be publicly shunned and humiliated.

.....damn....I thought a good night's sleep would cool me off a little.

On top of that, it was a poorly choreographed and acted movie IMHO.

AT least with the movie JFK Oliver Stone took an actual event and built fiction around that event. In Redacted De Palma takes an event that never did occur and attempts to create a reality where U.S. Troops raped and murdered.

I didn’t get a chance to see it last night, but I taped the midnight showing and am actually watching it right now. You are so right about the way they portrayed the US Soldier. Within minutes into the film, all you see are soldiers that seem to be disconnected and oblivious to their surroundings. DePalma portrays every soldier as having contempt for the Iraqi people—even the children, whom he creates conflict with.

It’s so ironic that after 9/11 the Left had to run around looking for—and making excuses for why, the rest of the world hated America. In their attempts to explain this contempt (from our foreign policy to support for Israel, etc) they left out perhaps the main reason for this hatred; their portrayal of America to the rest of the world.

From Hollywood to the media to academia, liberals have now successfully exported and “projected” their own hatred for this country onto the rest of the world. From Hugo Chavez holding up and endorsing radical Professor Noam Chomsky’s book before the UN to our own Democrat politician’s slanderous words, these liberals have engrained a hatred into others for this country.

It is the height of hypocrisy to listen to the Left blame Bush for creating more terrorism and hatred for this country, when this has been the Left’s hallmark for decades. What was once confined to the classroom, newsroom and even screening room has now gone global with the advent of technology. Rosie’s rants and Hollywood’s hatred now find an audience of millions overseas, all willing to adopt their positions as an excuse to justify their hatred for America—just further endangering all of us. These people are the perpetuators of hate for this country—and it will eventually cause us great harm.
