Writing for writing: Michael Moore

Writing for writing: Michael Moore

The above link is to one of our fellow bloggers thoughts about the new Michael Moore movie. I believe anyone who has visited this sight and read earlier post knows my view. But if not below is a comment I posted in response (you should read the orginal since my comments might not make sense)

To start off I might warn you that you may want to get read of this comment prior to reading it. I am not a Moore fan and in fact despise the way he uses half truths and some lies to get his point across.

As for the film I have not seen it nor do I plan to see it; however I would suggest you visit this web site for rebuttal from one that has seen it. Visit Slate review
As for the Military; I am retired and I am not looser, which is what your words suggest Michael Moore has implied. In fact to drown this theory I can tell you that I attended three (3) years of college prior to ENLISTING (was not an officer) and that college was paid for my by parents. See I volunteered for the military and to serve my country because I wanted to. There are many more just like me; if fact on of my favorite First Sergeants (E-7 and is enlisted) received his Masters Degree via the military; however, choose to stay another fifteen years before starting his own company in civilian life. I can regurgitate many stories like this and I can also assure you that if the ARMY would have us we would all return to serve our Country.

I have not even mentioned officers many of who got an education you would envy. See West Point provides one of the top educations in the country and yes I was offered and accepted classes there at another fine institution the Air Force Academy. Further, the military paid for my classes at Northwestern University (another school many would envy a diploma). However, the best education I got was the Military way of life itself.

See if you do go to link and see the lies that were told during the movie about Bush, the Saudis, and other 9/11 events; then listen to me and what I know about the soldiers who are not looser and who a majority are there by choice not be need you see that Moore is a big fat bag of lies.. I could not speak for the entertainment value since he has been quoted in saying that he made the movie “for movie sake” and not primarily to “get Bush”; if you believe that. Me I choose not the believe anything the man has to say!

You are welcome to visit my new blog (Woody's Blog) and make any comments you want. If I have offended I truly apologize since my intent was to educate and I am new to the whole blogging concept since it seems by comments in your post I am much older than you.

There was not offense taken. Simply wanted to try to show a soilders view. As for my age - I am retired from the ARMY - so I would say I am older than 19:-).
