Stole this from Ace too:
Here’s my spin on it:
Hollywood just can’t help themselves. The morons are really trying hard to portray the military as the evil incarnation of the SS, or something. They just don’t get the fact that no one, NO ONE, wants to see their ideological bullshit utopian socialist garbage, or their shitty portrayal of the military.
Just another piece of shit film I’ll never see. Hollywood keeps adding to that list almost daily. They keep adding actors to my list of morons that I refuse to give my money to.
New Damon flick slanders America
By Kyle Smith
After all of Hollywood’s Iraq movies have flopped (even the Oscar-garlanded “The Hurt Locker” earned only $15 million at the box office), one studio thinks it has the following secret to success: The previous films didn’t insult the United States enough.
“Green Zone,” opening Friday, is a $100 million slime job that conjures up a fantastically distorted leftist version of the war and wraps it around a frantic but preposterous action picture. (Spoilers about the plot follow.)
Matt Damon plays Miller, an Army “chief” (chief warrant officer) assigned to searching for weapons of mass destruction in Baghdad in the opening days of the war in 2003.
The preposterous part comes in almost immediately: After Chief Miller comes up dry a couple of times, he decides to launch a one-man internal-affairs investigation into US intelligence-gathering.
He bypasses his chain of command, endangers good men (when one of his soldiers asks why he’s following a random Iraqi into what could well be an ambush, Miller snaps, “Put your game face on”) and forges a secret alliance against his fellow soldiers with a Baghdad CIA officer (Brendan Gleeson).
Despite being guilty of gross insubordination, lying to his superiors and concealing important evidence from them (a notebook containing the addresses of Saddam’s top officers), Miller is the hero of the film.

I wonder how close Green Zone the movie is to the reality?
It’s not even close.
