Bruce Willis May Make Movie about Yon's Deuce Four

I've previously written about actor Bruce Willis's support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and his praise for military blogger Michael Yon's altruistic work covering the war in Iraq which deposed murderous tyrant Saddam Hussein and continues to put Iraq on the path to freedom and democracy.

Now Mr. Willis wants to make a movie about "Deuce Four", the 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment with whom Mr. Yon, a former Green Beret himself, is an imbedded, unpaid journalist reporting the cold, hard, graphic truth, with photographs, on his blog.

Now that's one movie I'd want to see for sure. I've been pretty much ignoring the largely leftist-written and -oriented Hollywood fare for quite a while now, but this is one I'd just have to see.

I hope Mr. Willis does make a movie. We need the truth to be told to a broader audience, and what better, more entertaining way than via a big-screen flick? Mr. Willis, if he puts his own money into such a project, would indubitably be demonstrating an act of genuine patriotism and would be doing the civilized world a great service.

And, by the way, I think it'd be awesome if Bruce were to play Michael Yon!
