hhhmmm. American cinema has a long tradition of setting movies in our wars, and I do not see why the war on terror should be an exception. I cannot understand how any citizen of a law abiding country would refuse to celebrate the killing of the man that engineered and ordered the attacks on 9/11.

As for getting the truth all I can say is we can't have it both ways. Either you get the whole truth and give away confidential information on the identities of service members and operational procedures, or you give it the Hollywood treatment and try to make a movie that is engaging and entertaining.

Blaming the commander-in-chief seems a little disingenuous before the film is even made, especially considering the recent release of a movie with active-duty members of the Navy Seals who were photographed at the premier of Act of Duty with their dates.
