Stop-Loss Movie Gets Bad Reviews

Bad ratings for upcoming Hollywood film "Stop-Loss". It smears the troops and promotes desertion.

Starring Ryan Phillipe, Stop-Loss tells the story of a soldier who is retained in the military on his last day of service and told he’s being shipped back to Iraq. But watch the trailer. Not content just to preach against one clause that’s in every single military volunteer’s contract, the film suggests that the soldier and his unit committed war crimes in Iraq. It promotes re-instating the draft. It states flatly that desertion is more honorable than service. In taking these lines, Stop-Loss is promoting the extreme left, Cindy Sheehan World Can’t Wait point of view.



"Read your contract in the first place. This would probably lead to less surprise when you are retained. If you are against the war, fine. If you don't agree with current policy, fine. If you don't take the time to understand what you are committing to, before you commit to it, who's fault is that? To make a movie that suggests that being retained under the contract you agreed to is a back door draft and not a result of your own inability to read is ridiculous."
