<p>Whereas the film Redacted is based on the Mahmudiyah killings, which took place in its entirety and soldiers have already admitted guilt</p>
<p>Whereas the film makes no claim to represet all U.S. Soldiers in Iraq</p>
<p>Why all the uproar? </p>
<p>[Redacted</a> (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redacted]Redacted”>Redaction - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>Probably because stupid people will take it for what it is not. That is applying the movie to all or many U.S solgiers.</p>
<p>The film doesn’t make any claim to represent everyone, therefore whatever stupid people think is irrelevant. If I make a hammer that’s intented use is to work with nails and someone smashes their one face with it, should we also stop sales of hammers at the HOME DEPOT??</p>
<p>If those stupid people constituted a large proportion of the population then it would be a problem. I don’t see a problem with the film as long as it stays to the theme of isolated incident and doesn’t try to hate on the U.S. military. However they can hate on the policies all they want.</p>
<p>The film makes no general claim.</p>
<p>I never said the film did make any sort of broad claim. I am just saying that some people might take it against the military in Iraq even though it is an isolated incident. I have not seen the movie, I am just saying that this could be a reason that people are blowing up.</p>
<p>Seems to me the reason for the blowing up is just cheap political posturing.</p>
