2. relevant to the "mutiny" story
Although I wouldn't equate trench warfare with an ill-advised fuel run, the attitudes of the top officers in the film reflect the ugly realities of war. Your children are expendable in the service of public relations.

5. A truly great movie with incredible power
The ending, both the execution and the woman (future Mrs. Kubrick BTW) singing to the men always touches me deeply.

6. I watched McCain intro it......
Thursday (?) night, when the movie started I turned to CCN, where Shrub was in airforce one with McCain at his side- no way in hell was that the same man. With * he looked very old, sad and much like a beaten puppy, on TMC he was the McCain we all know, no, he was better.


I wish I could find photos on the web to show the two....
