Natalie Sorton, a 25-year-old moderate Republican and wife of an
infantryman who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, told The Fayetteville
Observer in North Carolina, where Fort Bragg is, that the movie
changed her opinion of the war in Iraq. "All this movie did was open
my eyes a little more to what’s really going on," she said. "I think
this is definitely going to have an impact on the election. I’m glad
I’m a voter."
Moore, who like me obtained the highest rank of Eagle in the Boy
Scouts, portrayed soldiers accurately as doing what they were told,
Sorton said. Trevor, a Kansas City Army veteran and civic engineer who
votes Republican, added in a Kansas City newspaper’s report that
"Fahrenheit 9/11" contained the most accurate portrayal of the
military experience he’s ever seen in a movie.
Greg Rohwer-Selken, 33, of Ames, Iowa, whose wife, Karol, is serving
in the National Guard in Iraq, was moved to tears and told Time
Magazine, "It really made me question why she has to be over there."
A conservative Republican, 20-something woman in Pensacola, Fla.,
cried throughout the film and gave similar comments to The New York
Times. "It really makes me question what I feel about the president,"
she said. "It makes me question his motive."
A man Newsday described as an "ardent Bush/Cheney supporter" in New
York said, "It’s really given me pause to think about what’s really
going on. There was just too much - too much to discount."
In conservative Indiana County, Pa., Eric Blank told the Indiana
Gazette, "I have not felt this angry toward an administration ever. I
wanted Clinton yanked from office, but I think Bush should go to
jail."
In Colorado Springs, another vastly conservative city, a woman whose
husband is a disabled Army vet reported that the audience applauded
and some even whistled at the end. In Texas, a woman wrote about her
26-year-old friend who told her before watching the movie that she
wasn’t going to vote, then changed her tune afterwards.
