A ranking member on the House Armed Services Committee sent a letter to the Chairman of the Motion Picture Association today calling the new Iraq war film "Redacted" a shameful view of American soldiers.
California Republican Duncan Hunter sent a scathing letter regarding Brian DePalma's new Iraq war film to Motion Picture Chairman and CEO Dan Glickman asking that he not forget that there are heroes who have sacrificed their lives for the United States and Iraqi people.
"Unfortunately, Brian De Palma's new movie "Redacted," which opened in several theaters this week, portrays American service personnel in Iraq as uncontrollable misfits and criminals," Mr. Hunter stated in his letter. "While incidents of criminal behavior by members of our military should never be ignored, the isolated incident on which this film is based negatively portrays American service personnel and misrepresents their collective efforts in Iraq."
Mr. Hunter's letter isn't the first criticism of Mr. DePalma's film, which other critics have stated is his own bias against the administration's war in Iraq.
"The film intentionally fails to show or give any indication of the more than three million inoculations administered by American forces, the construction of medical clinics and schools, as well as the construction of other important infrastructure," the letter went on to state. "Additionally, the film's negative depiction of our military blatantly ignores the many acts of heroism performed by our soldiers, Marines, airmen and sailors in Iraq."

Getting harder and harder to find a movie without some damn liberal political slant anymore. Glad Hunter is calling them on this.
None down and All primaries yet to go. Great!
Duncan Hunter could send that letter off to the ASPCA for all the good it will do.
But when it comes to harming our troops who are dying for our freedom, well I don't mind if a congressperson targets a Hollywood commie now and then.
These movies were in the pipeline when doom and gloom was predominant. Too bad for DePalma and Redford...their movies are opening just as more positive news is coming as a result of the surge. Oh, well. Maybe they should make musicals next time.
Good for Duncan.
“Redacted” has got to be one dog of a film, because even the trailers (commercials) are terrible.
Welcome back I guess. Now if we can get the return of A+Burt.
Don’t you mean A+Bert??
A fatwa on DePalma!....
thanks for the correction, FRiend.
Where can I get me one of those?
say about 6’ by 8’ for the front yard.
yep
I’ll be danged. Welcome back.
Ping.
It’s just a different way of looking at it. You were right. I’m glad we agree on Hunter. You take care.
