On this Veterans Day I urge you

To watch "All Quiet On The Western Front". I have no idea if the current remake is any good or not but the original is the most powerful movie you'll likely ever watch.

The old one, From the 30’s. Very powerful film. When the new recruits were coming in along with boxcars full of coffins, very powerful. It blows my mind to realize that the war was only over a few years before the book and movie were made. It makes it almost a documentary
