| crunchy, that was a nice post. Thanks for going to Kuwait. i have buddies who went as well and I have told them the same. As for Pvt. Ryan, other folks have told me they did not like the movie for various reasons such as the short shrift Brits got, the blood and gore, the stupidity of it all, etc. But I am sure there were similar stories in Juno and Sword, the blood and gore was there for a purpose (graphic telling of the sacrafice our fathers made) and that our move to open a western front helped to topple that madman intent on ruling Europe and perhaps the world. Grunts need to be remembered for all the slogging they have done for us in the past. |
