Director Peter Berg has never served in the military, but he doesn't let that stop him from having a belligerent tirade about Iran, Israel, and of course badgering his interviewer about being a draft dodger. By the way the Israeli journalist, Jason Danino-Holt, did not dodge the draft he was exempt from the mandatory military service because of a
health condition.

Strange, you would figure Peter would be in a good mood with
Battleship posting some impressive box office numbers ($170 million) overseas. Either the film is much better when you don't understand it in it's native tongue, or the overseas audience has no taste in film.
Peter Berg (Hancock) produces and directs Battleship, an epic-scaled action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. Inspired by Hasbro's classic naval combat game, Battleship stars Taylor Kitsch as Lt. Alex Hopper, a Naval officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones; Brooklyn Decker as Sam Shane, a physical therapist and Hopper's fiancee; Alexander Skarsgard as Hopper's older brother, Stone, Commanding Officer of the USS Sampson; Rihanna as Petty Officer Raikes, Hopper's crewmate and a weapons specialist on the USS John Paul Jones; and international superstar Liam Neeson as Hopper and Stone's superior (and Sam's father), Admiral Shane.
