Also, you say you are going to delete comments that are not on topic or are not substantitive: then you leave every personal insult there is of Bill O\’Reilly. So much for free speech!

I am not an avid watcher of Bill O\’Reilly; nor have I visited this website before I heard about the raging debate over Mark Cuban supporting an anti-American movie. I have yet to see, and will never see the movie \”Redacted\” based on the comments provided by Mr. Cuban.

The idea that by portraying the U.S. military personel as rapists and murderers somehow gives us insight into the emotional, physical, and mental hardships endured by our soldiers is asinine. War is not roses and daisies and I wouldn\’t expect a movie about war to not portray horrific scenes of battle and include the intense emotions and humanitarian struggle that our soldiers must face. However, our country made the decision to go to war and to make a movie that has our soldiers splashed in any sort of immoral and disrespectful manner in order to fulfill your own personal vendetta against the war is disgusting. Use someone else. Don\’t use our soldiers who put their lives on the line so that you can make the trash that you call cinema. I do not support this film and have since lost the long-standing respect I once held for Mark Cuban.

I read through the comments up to post 42 and only two posts by the same man crossed the line with swearwords. Does the movie Redacted contain swearwords? Here\’s a video of soldiers in the field swearing–filmed by Pat Dollard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tXUvxiVshY

Dollard is making a war documentary titled \”Young Americans.\” He made it in the same way that is depicted in Redacted. The video is against all anti-war types (media included) that don\’t appreciate what soldiers go through to give them the freedoms they abuse back home. Sound familiar? Redacted is about keeping it real, so you say. If you \”redact\” comments to this controversy you only show more hypocrisy.

I didn\’t have to see Michael Moore\’s 9/11 fakeumentary to know what he and his movie are about. I don\’t need to see your movie to know that \”war is hell.\” Your director said the movie is anti-war and the pictures in it are intended to end the war–is he right or not? Do you support De Palma\’s words about this film?

Don\’t go on his show. Stop posting about it. Don\’t give him and his nut job cronies any attention. His ratings are dropping because his followers are becoming few and far between. Let them fade into oblivion. As Bill O\’s buddy MM likes to say don\’t feed the trolls, right?

\”I refuse to dignify your comment with a response.\”

Mark, I have on many occasions used your bio to encourage students and young entrepreneurs to take risks and persue their dreams. Yours WAS a great story.

However today, I have to side with those military men and women and their families who have written here. Liberty isn\’t free, but free men often fail to realize the true cost of that freedom….sad isn\’t.

Mark, you don\’t live in reality. Take the advice these posters and go to Iraq and tour and learn what is ACTUALLY happening….

Truth will set you free!!!!
