Green Zone film with Matt Damon
Ok so here is the story. Back in 2003 I was in Iraq as part of a small team doing the search for chemical weapons. As you can imagine it was a pretty crazy time and we were all convinced that we would find stockpiles of WMD and get our picture taken and make the news blah blah blah. Obviously that didn't happen. During our search we discovered the intelligence was very bad (very bad intelligence) so we began conducting our own investigation...in a way. It was a very crazy time as you can imagine and my boss, Monty Gonzales, Chief Warrant Officer, was the man searching for the truth.
Anyway 4 years after I got back from Iraq and out of the Military I receive a call from a producer making a film based on those events. They asked me to be an advisor and basically play myself in the film. We filmed in 2008 and the movie is due out March 12. As you can imagine that was a crazy fun experience. Since this is my first Thread I don't know how to imbed video so I will just add some links to a CBS interview that has me in it and the movie trailer. I would really be interested in peoples take on the subject matter and the film itself. I have been on Chiefs Planet for years and I find that there is a solid mix of good points and good humor.

Matt was cool as hell. The first day me and the guys were pretty star struck but by day two we were giving him shit. He had just been voted prettiest man or something like that so we would leave that picture around for him to find. I worked side by side with him for about 4 months and I have to say that he is a class act all the way around.

Sweet. I'll make sure to watch. I love Matt Damon. Bourne Identity's are my favorite films. I'll watch anything w/him in it. Especially now that I know he's a cool dude too. Thanks for sharing.
