RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
DVD Interview

Behind the Scenes
released October 10, 2000

The DVD of Rules of Engagement contained two special featurettes that included short interviews with Bruce Greenwood as William Sokal. In "A Look Inside" Bruce spoke of his character's motives and the public's illumination of the military, while the 20-minute visit "Behind-the-Scenes" included a short statement about the reasons for Sokal's condemnation of Childers.

Bruce Greenwood's complete quotations follow:

Behind the ScenesWilliam Sokal is the National Security Advisor, who's given this terrible task of making this very difficult decision whether or not to hang out Samuel Jackson to dry. And I think as a viewer you watch what he does, and if you hate him, take an extra second and put yourself in his position and look at the interests of the United States that will be undone if Jackson is exonerated.

Behind the scenesOn William Sokal's motivation:

It's the 83 dead, innocent people, and if we take responsibility as a country for the tragedy that occurred, then our connection to that part of the world and our influence is going to evaporate.
--Behind the Scenes of Rules of Engagement

A Look InsideOn the public's reaction to the film:

I don't think this is going to alienate the public from the military. I think it will illuminate what a difficult position the military has.
