Battle of Haditha http://www.cinemaroll.com/tags/Battle of Haditha New posts about Battle of Haditha Films Showing Dark Side of U.S. War Troops http://www.cinemaroll.com/Cinemarolling/Films-Showing-Dark-Side-of-US-War-Troops.54043 There are three major movies coming out this year depicting America's soldiers in a negative light. These movies will be premiering in November showing the dark side of U.S. war troops.

Do you think films like this should be shown in theaters? The movies “Redacted”, “Battle for Haditha" and “Body of War” are all graphic films displaying our young American troops as rapists, heartless individuals, puppets, and victims of the government. Should films such as these be shown in theaters?

The movie "Redacted" is about the rape and murder of a 15 year old Iraqi girl by U.S. troops. This movie portrays our troops as monsters and in the worst light possible. The film exaggerates one horrific incident and manipulates viewers to believe this kind of act happens daily in Iraq.

Filmmaker Brian De Palmer's anti-war views made this film disturbing to watch without becoming overwhelmed with emotion. This awful film portrays all soldiers as wicked vicious men which is far from the truth. Although based on a true story. The way the story is told is pure propaganda.

In "Battle for Haditha" and "Body of War" soldiers are depicted as feeble causalities. All of these anti-war films are very graphic and compelling.
