... Having our troops from downrange, introduce a film on homosexuality was ridicules enough, but then have them immediately followed by the anti Iraq war film, "Taxi to the Darkside" was just disgraceful. "A film about American soldiers beating an Afghan man to death." Some of the filmmakers and actors wore orange ribbons or rubber bracelets to protest these alleged incidents of torture by the United States at its prison in Guantanamo Bay, and in Afghanistan and Iraq
Had to have been a deliberate attempt to humiliate our troops.
And the biggest kicker was the troops thanked the Academy for letting them be there but did ANY of those attending the awards thank them for their service.
Not a one.
Just a day before the inauguration of new South Korean president Lee Myung-bak, an announcement has been made by the Korean government that the relocation of the US 2nd Infantry Division from its frontline camps near the Korean Demilitarized Zone will be delayed until 2015. The division was originally supposed to be relocated by 2009 at an expanded Camp Humphreys facility south of Seoul. However, when the former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld resigned in 2006, the Korean government unilaterally announced a delay of moving the 2ID until 2013 and now has pushed that date back even further to 2015.
The reasons for this South Korean foot dragging are various which I have listed in detail here.
An Academy Award to an Army film about a now obscure part of a war fought in a remote area that most people have never heard of, but which involved an invasion of U.S. territory?
The last daylight surface ship gun battle fought without air power or submarines?
Fights among flag officers?
All this and more here.
