#1 --enlisted man running a profitable drugs and stolen goods business out of an Army base!--

Well, gee, there's a novel idea.

M*A*S*H had this on more than one occasion, and I seem to recall more than 1 WWII movie did also, except for the drugs.

#2 Sorry for my post I didn't see this! This movie DID NOT NEED TO BE MADE! There are 1.5 Million people in the Army there are bound to be a few bad apples. If Jessie and the other super sensitive groups don't jump on this, they should be shot. The name alone and it's association with Black service men oozes with racial overtones.

#3 Hey guys don't be so hard on him. He's just against the war.

He says he supports the troops though.

#4 Absurd that Disney made a movie like this, especially now, but that's under the bridge.

Boycott the film, don't use Disney products. It's a tactic LOOOOOONG used by others, including the left. It ain't censorship, it's refuser-ship.

It is interesting though, how Hollywood always reacts to boycott threats. It's always censorship. They're pretty unclear on the concept of what censorship actually is. It's when government intervenes and interferes with expression. When individuals refuse to support that expression, it's simply the marketplace reacting to what it does or doesn't want.

#5 Speaking of Disney and corruption, maybe the no fly-zone should be lifted.

#6 We've got a local Buffalo Soldiers club, honoring the Ninth and Tenth US Cavalry. They're going to be delighted when they learn about the title and ballistic when they learn about the content

#7 I just went the the Miramax site for the movie and I have to tell you the story line doesn't seem as anti-Army/U.S. (but then I haven't seen the movie). It kind of looks like a cross between MASH, Three Kings, and Kelly's Heroes. Still not something that needs to be released while troops are in harms way (Just my honest opinion). If Miramax and Disney had any decency they woudl let a group of troops view it first and let them review it. What am Italking about? They would never do that!

#8 We've got a local Buffalo Soldiers club

Gebus... Didn't think of that Matt. I do wonder what the Rev.s Al and J will say.
