Bruce Willis - Yon - Deuce Four
In this encouraging report for the Sunday
Times of London, it reports that Bruce Willis is in discussions about making a
real movie about Deuce Four’s adventures in Iraq. It is said to be based upon the
excellent embedded reporting of Michael
Yon.
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.It will be based on the exploits of the heavily decorated members of Deuce Four,
the 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry, which has spent the past year battling insurgents
in the northern Iraqi town of Mosul.…
He is expected to base the film on the writings of the independent blogger Michael
Yon, a former special forces green beret who was embedded with Deuce Four and sent
regular dispatches about their heroics.Yon was at the soldiers’ ball with Willis, who got to know him through his internet
war reports on www.michaelyon.blogspot.com.
“What he is doing is something the American media and maybe the world media isn’t
doing,” the actor said, “and that’s telling the truth about what’s happening in the
war in Iraq.”
I look forward to this coming to a theater near me.
