“Stop-Loss” grossed about $4 million when it opened. “Redacted” has not even, to this day, grossed a quarter of a million dollars.

Here’s why: America loves heroes.

Hollywood has done everything it can to make sure that Americans do not view our troops as heroes because the people that drive Hollywood are far-left wing driven, liberal, anti-troop, marxist, commie pinko, idiots in love with the romantic notion of the popularity of dissent as via their selective memories and the glamorization of the anti-Vietnam War era whirlwind of social change.

Iraq/Afghanistan War films will do well when they portray the heroics of our troops in the service of our country and connect the dots to those wars, and security for Americans here at home.

This is what the Bush Adminsitration has failed to do. Accurately get the message across to the American people that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan ARE making America, Americans, and American interests, allies, and thusly the whole world, safer.

Once people realize (especially Hollywood filmmakers, TV networks, and the mainstream media) that what we are doing in Iraq, Afghanistan, and throughout the world in the pursuit of the destruction of the radical jihadi agenda actually makes them safer, makes the world safer, and are good and necessary operations, then they will see our troops for the heroes that they really are, and films that portray these operations and the troops that carry them out as being heroic.

And then we’ll see films about the Iraq/Afghanistan wars reflect that, and gross $95 million their first weekends out, like Iron Man has. Because Americans love heroes.
