(IMDb) Although Fahrenheit 9/11 has been widely condemned by conservative commentators as a device to undermine the U.S. public's support for American troops in Iraq, the film, now widely available on DVD, has become a big hit among the troops themselves, the Christian Science Monitor reported today (Wednesday). "Everyone's watching it," a Marine corporal in Ramadi told the newspaper. "It's shaping a lot of people's image of Bush."

Ummm... I believe the title of the article, "A strident minority: anti-Bush US troops in Iraq," indicates the widespread appreciation of the film is not as widespread as your post seems to say it is...
I mean, sure there are soldiers that are pissed about being in Iraq or Afghanistan or even Germany, but the vast majority of those serving in the armed forces are pro-Bush. The article (http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0921/p02s02-usmi.html) in no way repudiates that.
