Bias With One Of The 'Dozen' Ruins Film

Rating: 3/10 (16 December 2005)

Most members of this cast are intense, interesting guys....but one character here really ruined this war film and really shows you Hollywood's brutal bias against religion.
One of the "Dirty Dozen" is portrayed as a "religious fanatic," to use the popular secular term. Here, the religious guy is portrayed as the ONLY bad egg of the group and just about blows the whole mission. In fact, to save the mission, our Christian soldier, pictured as a wacko, of course, has to be shot to by one of his own men!
To make matters even more ludicrous, the actor playing the Southern Baptist- type is none other than Telly Salavas, a Greek from New York City - yes, "Kojak" himself. Kojak with a horribly-done fake Southern accent: now that's realistic type casting, eh?
Picture Hollywood doing the same bias number against any other group or race. It wouldn't happen....and shouldn't happen.....but, a Christian? That's obviously acceptable in the world of film and certainly was demonstrated here. Inexcusable.
