He is expected to base the film on the writings of the independent blogger Michael Yon, a former special forces green beret who was embedded with Deuce Four and sent regular dispatches about their heroics.
Yon was at the soldiers ball with Willis, who got to know him through his internet war reports on www.michaelyon.blogspot.com. What he is doing is something the American media and maybe the world media isnt doing, the actor said, and thats telling the truth about whats happening in the war in Iraq.
=====================
Transcript of Willis' appearance with Yon on MSNBC - halfway down the transcript
God love ya, Bruce! You've been unashamedly a true friend and supporter of our great armed forces (as opposed to your ex's new husband).
Ready ticket here, Bruce!
Good for him! I've never been a huge fan-- but God bless Bruce.
I've already bought my ticket!
I've been waiting for something like this for YEARS. The elites will either be confounded by the success of this movie, or just wring their hands that the "Republicans" and the "extreme right wing" have taken over the country. Clueless clods. Most of us are proud of our fighting forces and understand what we're up against. I don't normally go to the movies any more, except when my son begs (he's really interested in seeing "Narnia"). I'll go to this.
Me neither, but I am now. Anyone in Hollyweird who will support the troops is going to kill their career in that cesspool of idiots. I will go watch Bruce in any movie he makes from now on because he isn't afraid to put his career (or his money) ahead of his convictions.
I can honestly say that I've never been a big Bruce Willis fan until I read stories like these.
God bless you, Mr. Willis, and thank you for really supporting the troops instead of simply paying lip-service.

...just for the LOVE of it.

I had a major crush on Willis in his first TV show, with Cybil Shephard...
I also like his movies with Danny Glover...except I can't/won't watch Danny Glover anymore...
Talk about a leftie....Glover is a really outspoken leftist!!
There are a million stories like these. Unfortunately, the MSM prefers stories that taint the mission or lean toward helping al Qaeda. Not that they truly want to help al Qaeda, but if Bush is against al Qaeda in Iraq how can they feel the same way, they ask themselves. I saw so much disgust amongst our service members and our coalition partners at the way the war was portrayed while I was in Iraq. The MSM has a template for its coverage. They refuse to let the facts get in the way. It's disgusting. Apparently the fact that there could be bad consequences if we fail in Iraq has never entered the minds of these folks.
Yessss.....FINALLY!! I'll be seeing this one more than once!
What he is doing is something the American media and maybe the world media isnt doing, the actor said, and thats telling the truth about whats happening in the war in Iraq.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
I salute Bruce Willis, a man who regrets never having worn the uniform but one who can do more out of uniform for the grunt than most of us ever could do in uniform.
Do it Bruce!
I'm not a movie lover, period, but I love Armageddon!
I've rather enjoyed Bruce Willis movies.

Mr. Willis, I will be first in line.
God bless you.
Bumpity bump - FReepers need to get together and make this a FReeper gathering/event!
Movies with Danny Glover? Are you thinking of Mel Gibson?
And if FReepers make it a FReeper gathering, invite Michelle Malkin.
