About the anti-war movement within the military during the Vietnam War.

Trailer:

Would it be wrong to say that every member of the armed forces should see this?

1. Well, the military we have today isn't the same...
I think it's a fascinating piece of military history, but the military of today likely won't get a chance to see it unless those serving go out of their way to see it.

Thanks for the heads up. I can't wait for it.

2. Complete with "The Myth of the Spitting Hippie"
Dude! I am like so there!

It's been twenty years since some barstool patriot undertook to kick my ass when I challenged him to find a single Spitting Hippie, while I was able to find plenty of Spitting Conservatives.

Of course, it was "TRAITOR! WHORE!" all around.

My vindication is complete. :)

5. It'd wouldn't be wrong to say every servicemember should see this
however, remember that the US Armed Forces are not Democratic. Also, for some reason the American People nowadays think what ever happens to US servicemembers is their own fault because they signed a contract. Eventhough the US Government routinely declares it can dishonor said contract at it's whim and with reckless abandon.

But, I'm very interested in seeing this film as well as Winter Soldier. And I recommend Fog of War and
Hearts and Minds.

so kick it...
