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?
I don't prefer to talk of betrayal but the Marines involved in this incident are going through hell. They and some of their families are mortgaging their homes and cashing in retirement plans so they can have the best possible defense they can afford.
I suppose I might put it in terms of the appropriateness of releasing a movie of an event where legal proceedings are still in progress and those accused are under a great deal of stress because of the possible loss of their freedom.
I think you have much more faith in the motives behind this film and the media in general. They will use this film to bludgeon the Marines and-- in one broad brush-- all troops. It will be heralded as "a gritty portrayal, based on the real events...." I doubt that in the advertising of this film the word "fiction" will be used to promote it at all. Of this, there is little doubt in my mind.
I would love to be wrong.
The problem is YOU'RE pimping it as the truth.
YOU know it's a hit piece on these Marines, as will anyone who watches the trailer, but you're willing to sell out these Marines for a buck.
BTW, to your chicken$hit statement on military.com that no one can challenge your intentions unless they were there, YOU WERE NOT AT THAT BATTLE, YOU DIDN'T TAKE FIRE IN THAT AMBUSH, AND YOU AREN'T FACING A LIFE SENTENCE, SO YOU STFU!!!!

Every fricken Marine you and your ilk has slandered. You people are despicable. Now Fu— Off!
