Sounds good. Has anyone looked into the possibility of having Disney disavow it publicly? That should get financing for distribution in the bag.

This looks excellent. It begs the question:
WHERE THE HELL ARE THE MEDIA ON THIS!!???
This footage is the first I have seen of anything vaguely approaching any sort of reality on the ground. The media are either just not out with the troops like Mike Tucker was, or they just don’t care to report this story. How about one report showing what just one soldier does in a typical day? How about showing what it’s like to drive a humvee through crowded streets and make a raid? Why are people fighting and dying but yet our own people remain faceless to us? Do we really need to wait ten years for the “Black Hawk Down” version to find out what is happening in Iraq, or even a little of what it’s like?
I don’t care if it’s good news or bad, I just want some truth of what the situation is!
The men and women over here are heroes, and their risks are huge, and we owe them giant amounts of gratitude. The media is silent for those very reasons, I suspect.
Man, it is frustrating.
