Die Hard Still!

The old phrase "put your money where your mouth is" definitely applies here.
[[ ANGERED by negative portrayals of the conflict in Iraq, Bruce Willis, the Hollywood star, is to make a pro-war film in which American soldiers will be depicted as brave fighters for freedom and democracy.
The 50-year-old actor said that he was in talks about a film of “these guys who do what they are asked to for very little money to defend and fight for what they consider to be freedom”.
Unlike many Hollywood stars Willis supports the war and recently offered a $1m (about £583,000) bounty for the capture of any of Al-Qaeda’s most wanted leaders such as Osama Bin Laden, Ayman Al-Zawahiri or Abu Musab al- Zarqawi, its commander in Iraq. Willis visited the war zone with his rock and blues band, the Accelerators, in 2003.
“I am baffled to understand why the things I saw happening in Iraq are not being reported,” he told MSNBC, the American news channel. ]]
Bruce Willis To Make Pro-America War Film
Oh, this will be a special movie... and isn't it sad that it is considered "big news" when hollywood decides to make honest films that reflect the truth?
For the record, I've ALWAYS liked Bruce Willis!!

If you haven't read Michael Yon's blog (www.michaelyon.blogspot.com), I can't emphasize strongly enough that you should! This is the sort of war reporting the world needs a lot more of!

Bill Roggio over at ThreatsWatch.org is also pretty good. He's presently in Iraq, doing much the same as Mr Yon, with a similar quality of result, IMO.
