Bruce Willis is one of the very few actors that I like. Tom Selleck is the first, with Bruce & Kurt Russell tied for second. They actually seem to have some sense about them!

All of America's wars have plenty of heros.

The DemocRATS and their left-wing mouth pieces in the media attempt to demean them and turn them into "victims" rather than heros. There needs to be a major effort by all patriots to turn that around!

The DemocRATS can never be entrusted with America's security again.

$50-60 million at the box office is what you'll see from this movie. Big down south and in military areas but tons of bad reviews from the NY/LA Slimes, Boston Glob, Wash. Compost

Just love him. His "Tears of the Sun" is a treasure, and this is him living up to its concluding line.

And that's rare now a days.

Willis said it would be wrong for Americans to give up on Iraq just as progress is being made.

BUMP

He does look kinda like Willis. He's also hosted some other stars. ("Fugedaboudit.")

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!! I was wondering when someone would make a movie about this war that shows the Americans as the good guys. I haven't gone in a movie theater in ~ twenty years now (and didn't know if I ever would again), but I may make an exception for this film. Mr. Willis should be encouraged, and he deserves to prosper. Thanks for the great news, Saquin.

For the real thing:

Take your time, explore, and learn. It's great stuff. Willis is merely doing justice -- to those great men that Yon has immortalized. (And to Yon, too... I sure hope he gets a nice slice of the gate!)
