One I really enjoyed is the recent remake of the Russian film “The Mornings Here Are Quite”.
“My horn is full and my pouch is stocked with ball and patch. There is a new, sharp flint in my lock and my rifle and I are ready. It is sighted true and my eyes can still aim.” Kaywoodie
I like all of em. I served with some of the boys depicted in Black Hawk Down. That one is tough for me to watch! Bridge on the River Kwai is a good one not mentioned yet!
The attack scene is one of the best examples of useless slaughter that I think has ever been filmed. Even with the overacting characteristic of early movies the futility and horror really hits home. The French attack and are mowed down in waves (the hands left on the wire is pretty grisly for that time frame), the Germans counterattack and in turn are also mowed down in waves, then the Germans have to leave the captured French lines to return to their own. At the end everyone is right back where they started except for a fresh pile of dead and wounded in No Man's Land.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
Dunkirk is worth watching if you haven’t seen yet.
"...aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one." - Paul to the church in Thessalonica.
I like to try to watch a good war movie on this day each year. What are some of your favorites. I think my all time is a series not just a movie. It's Band of Brothers.

This, because the young whippersnappers need to see a move from when it was ok.to love the USA.
