AAFES won’t let a little controversy get in the way of acquiring copies of Michael Moore’s new documentary, “Fahrenheit 9/11,” a spokesman said Monday.
The Army and Air Force Exchange Service is pursuing prints through one of the film’s distributors, Lions Gate Films, said Judd Anstey, a spokesman at AAFES headquarters in Dallas.
Whether AAFES pursues a movie depends entirely on its popularity in the United States.
“AAFES’ motion picture policy is to screen films that are popular in the private sector,” AAFES Vice President of Food and Theater Richard Sheff responded via e-mail. “AAFES’ position will not change based on a single feature. If Fahrenheit 9/11 proves popular in the private sector and prints are available, the movie will be shown.”

I can't imagine they won't be getting some pressure to rethink the move.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
