Americans Portrayed as Savages in New Turkish Movie. U.S. soldiers have become hated figures in Muslim countries around the world after the unpopular war in Iraq, but in Turkey, a personal grudge fuels the resentment.
Valley of the Wolves Iraq opens with a true story: On July 4, 2003, in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, troops from the U.S. Army's 173rd Airborne Brigade raided and ransacked a Turkish special forces office, threw hoods over the heads of 11 Turkish special forces officers and held them in custody for more than two days.
In themovie, a small band of Turks bonds with the people of Iraq and eventually ends American atrocities there by killing a rogue group of U.S. soldiers led by officer Sam William Marshall, played by Billy Zane.
It's hard to imagine a movie like this being made even as late as the 1950s or 60s. The American sheeple seem completely unaware of how the federal government, which is stationed American troops in at least 125 countries around the world, has blackened the reputation of America around the world. Once thought of a "shining city on the hill," America is now considered by most non-Americans the way we used to think of the Soviet Union-with a mixture of distrust, hatred, and fear. The saddest thing is that the American sheeple truly do not know that much of that distrust, hatred, and fear is completely justified.-CNN.com

Interesting! I doubt that this movie will ever be shown here, though. It's also interesting to compare this with another post from the same source, which touches on a trend I've also noticed for American entertainment to increasingly portray Americans (notably those working for the government) as savages as well, and to portray that as a good thing.
