Me and a couple of pards were in a crowded theater and when it got to the rat scene it was dead silence then some dude in the audience is like "arraggghhhhhh!!" Evidently a vet having a flashback.

I find the stories very heroic and would like to listen any podcast available in a soldiers own words. LEO and military have my respect. To many young people have no clue what has been sacrificed by many.

Way to many bird colonels and high level parties, at least from my experience. As with all the Hollywood products, some good, some bad and some utter BS. I do have the John Wayne poster on my wall though. "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."

The political message the Duke was trying to convey, was 100% spot on. It wasn't an internal civil war, but an obvious attempt at communist expansion..loved the movie A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance.

If there was a Beaver Award for best double entendre post of the year on the campfire, this one would be a contender.
