Your point is correct.  The soldier is trying to control the use of
footage whose control he explicitly signed away.  You don't want your
footage used in a Moore do***entary, there's only one way to ensure
that:

Don't.  Sign.  the Release.

Of course, that prevents your opinion from being heard *at all.*  But
if you're that much of a coward to not sign the release, then your
opinion wasn't worth that much to begin with.  

Conversely, if you do sign the release and then after the movie has
come out have "seller's remorse" or whatever, it's waaaaay too late to
whine and ***** and piss in a manner that's clearly unbecoming a
soldier about who bought the footage from the original interviewer
when tens of millions of people have already seen the footage.

But really, all that's at issue is that the soldier just doesn't like
the person who bought the interview footage.  That's not a credible
basis for any sort of a lawsuit against Moore.  Hopefully, the soldier
will grow up and chalk his own mistake up to his own inexperience.
