Hollywood Goes to War

Hollywood is willing to lose any amount of money making movies to convince our public that war is wrong. Since we are at war, some might consider that a problem for defending ourselves. But while Hollywood make them, our public doesn't watch them. Hollywood is confused about the lack of audience:

What the hell is wrong with this country? We support the troops, showing them as the dysfunctional, murdering, drug-addicted, red-state crypto-rapists in need of psychoanalysis we all know they really are. Hey — even the Marine officer in Alan Ball’s award-winning American Beauty a few years back was humanized by making him a sadist and a closet queen. And this is the thanks we get?


The list of films past and pending attempting to lose the Long War is impressive.

It is almost like a "Why We Fight" series--but from the enemy's perspective, I suppose.

Sometimes the "dissent" of some of our patriots is very vigorous.
