(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 in no way repudiates that.

How can someone who obviously thinks so much of their ideas have so little respect for expressing them? How can someone who so yearns to be taken seriously make so little effort?!
