Does Hollywood Support the Troops?

Actions speak louder than words, according to Brian Bresnahan:

If they supported the troops we would see them following in the footsteps of their Hollywood predecessors on overseas USO tours. If they supported the troops, we would occasionally find them taking some sort of action, or making some sort of speech reflecting that support. But none exist.
If they actually supported the troops, they would be making movies to tell the stories of their heroism. They would be reliving the battles of Afghanistan and Iraq on the big screen, showing the success we've had, the prowess and audacity of our troops, and sharing the courage and strength of young wives and families carrying on here at home.
But then again, their disdain for the military and its mission may have isolated them so far from what's really happening in the war on terror they might not have any ideas for positive movies about this war.


Its not even Bush they hate, but a built in disdain for the country which they call home.
