Haditha is real place. An incident took place there involving real Marines.
The film depicts enraged Marines shooting unarmed civilians.
The film dramatizes John Murtha’s “and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood” speech.
Is Murtha getting a “based on a story by” credit?
The director is not promoting the film as fiction. He’s said there was a massacre in Haditha, and “many Hadithas” have taken place in Iraq.
Marines and their families have had their lives destroyed because the likes of Tim McGirk at Time magazine and John Murtha wanted to turn Americans against the war. And now this movie.
Hollywood will love it. Enjoy the fruits of your betrayal.
Hey everyone is entitled to their opinion. I think as more press is done on the film, and the release date nears, you will see more articles promoting it as a work of fiction.
As far as enjoying the fruits of my betrayal goes, who exactly have I betrayed?
