"HOME OF THE BRAVE" is a big war film opening this Christmas just in time for Oscar consideration. The film stars Samuel L Jackson, 50 Cent, Jessica Biel, Christina Ricci, and others.

Nobody wants to hear about how men sat in a perimeter for 48hours bored off their asses or how their main concern was when they’d be able to get time to play x-box again. A military advisor needs to just say “Hey, you can make a movie about how a team of SEALs jumped into the objective from 100,000ft ... all I want to do is make them look half-way decent for mediocre movie sales and so you don't make complete mockery of the men and women serving...”
