As U.S. Warfighter stories conquer box offices, there are still plenty of stories left to be told and plenty of “A-listers” to help tell them.

Hollywood is no stranger to military and war films. Since WWII, when John Wayne and Audie Murphy charged onto the silver screen wrapped in the red, white and blue, and all the way up to Steven Spielberg’s “Saving Private Ryan, audiences have flocked to see the heroic men of the U.S. military in action. But what about our brave service women and the role they play?
The Army Times reported today that actress/Producer Reese Witherspoon is joining the long role call of A-listers to take on telling the tales of modern warfighters. Witherspoon’s Pacific Standard production company is teaming up with Fox 2000 and is set to secure the film rights to the upcoming book, “Ashley’s War: The Untold Story of a Team of Women Soldiers on the Special Ops Battlefield.”
