Its stunning how much liberals don't know about the military. Not they want to make a movie about it. They make elitist assumptions. Its amazing. They can literally insulate themselves from knowing anybody or anything about them.

I just saw my first (and last) episode of the TV show 'CSI'.

I don't know if I missed something or what- but it featured Bruce Willis as an Army general. (I might have missed something- I have a lot of hearing damage, and I don't usually want the TV turned up to where I can hear it completely. It doesn't really interest me and it disturbs the neighbors)

His unit, in fighting the War On Terror in the US, was depicted as small minded clumsy brute force that randomly shot the crap out whatever it wanted to, and imprisoned anyone with olive skin and black hair that it could find. It was a grotesque caricature- ridiculous and insulting- but it offered a look at the level of ignorance that we're dealing with here.

I walked away from the TV after a while, so I didn't see the whole thing.

I don't think it was CSI. Sounds like "Under Seige" starrring Denzel Washington, Annette Benning, and Bruce Willis, directed by the guy who directed Glory. It was made in 1999, and has the distinction of being the last time a Hollywood film had an Arab/Palestinian villain.
