I don't see anything wrong, it's just a movie. If it were trying to be a documentary or something like Moore does, then yeah, but this is just as benign as the DaVinci Code was.
More stupid #### from Hollywood. What a surprise.

Is it any more stupid than Platoon or Full Metal jacket?

We are still in the ME. This is trying to say the military lies and goes back on contracts.
Stop Losses are part of the contracts, and like it or not part of the commitment.
Platoon was a good movie. FMJ was ignorant.

But it's just a movie. If it billed itself as anything other than fiction, then sure, but it doesn't.

FMJ was great. Good story and good acting, but do I in any way think that it is an accurate gauge on Vietnam? Hell no, it was a movie.

I understand that but, how long can a country survive that venerates its cowards and denigrates its heros?
And notice they give Ryan Phillippe a redneck sod-buster accent, because of course all soldiers are a bunch of hicks from some dirt farm.
This is where liberals get their weird worldview from - movies like this.

I do like the song in the ad, but I prefer it in this great old video clip from 2001 a lot more.

Grouchy Media has a bunch if you like this sort of thing.
Update: Why can't I embed a YouTube clip all of a sudden? Anyway here is the link to that Video.

The only good part of Full Metal Jacket was the Drill Sgt's rant. Lot's o' bad language but funny still.

No, it's because his character is from Texas and for some reason everyone in the country thinks we all talk like that.

Actually...
...I went all the way up to Bowie last night to see this flick. I read all the reviews on it, and alot of people reviewed it badly, especially service members. I can see why they would because yes, it does somewhat portray the wrong vision for the person watching it. But all together I thought it was a decent movie, one, that I will be buying when it comes out on DVD. The plot was good, and showed what alot of these guys coming back from Iraq and other places go through after a tour of service. The flashbacks, and imaging things. It really does portray Post Traumatic Stress. As far as the stop-loss claus, I'm not to knowlegable(sp) about that. I'm book worm and history buff, and had actually not known or heard of it until this movie. It's an unfortunate thing that these guys think they are done doing they're service and thrown back into the fighting. But....they knew what they were signing up for when they joined.
