Bruce Willis comes out fighting for Iraqâ??s forgotten GI heroes
He is expected to base the film on the writings of the independent blogger Michael Yon, a former special forces green beret who was embedded with Deuce Four and sent regular dispatches about their heroics.
Yon was at the soldiersâ?? ball with Willis, who got to know him through his internet war reports on www.michaelyon.blogspot.com. â??What he is doing is something the American media and maybe the world media isnâ??t doing,â?ť the actor said, â??and thatâ??s telling the truth about whatâ??s happening in the war in Iraq.â?ť
Willis is likely to take on the role of the unitâ??s commander, Lieutenant-Colonel Erik Kurilla, 39, a Bruce Willis lookalike with a chest full of medals, more hair than Willis and a glamorous blonde wife.
How cool is that?
