Green Zone

Last night I went and saw the new Matt Damion film, "Green Zone".

First of all don't waste your time on it. It's falsely marketed and a very anti-American film. Now I don't normally get to hung up on people "sharing their view points" in film making. Everyone has a story to tell, and we all see life through a different lens at times. But this was not just another lens, it as a clear anti-American, specifically anti- President George Bush film

Before you jump on the idea, I'm so Republican I can't take some hard "truth".... that's not it. Each president, each political party has it's own pros and cons. Ever administration has made giant mistakes, buried lots of skeletons in the closets, and each one has made some great choices for our country. So I can handle seeing where Bush or any President messed up. After all... we are all sinners.

No this film went extra lengths to paint our country and it's leaders as stupid, irresponsible, puppet masters for our own gain and then actually working a secret deal with Saddam's right hand man. Plus it painted the picture that army, CIA, presidents advisers were not on the same page, cover ups and hidden agendas were everywhere and the big one.... American lives and honor didn't matter.

If I where in the military today serving our country I would take offense for such a picture being painted. Especially as the conflict is not over and our troops are still there.

I'm all for a good "blow um up movie"
I'm all for a film that is a "what if" this or that may have happened."
I'm all for even "exposing the truth" in a film.

But at least make it a good film, at least be honest in how you promote it.
GREEN ZONE could have been a good film.... rather it's a big miss fire.

Damion and his buddies should have simply done the next Bourne movie.
