Film Portrayal of American Soldiers on Patrol

[Aragorn243]

If you don't accept it, look it up for yourself instead of asking us here. I don't accept any credits at the end of a movie because I've been burned too many times trying to believe it. YES, there IS propaganda in credits, movies, etc because Hollywood producers do indeed have obscure and not so obscure motives. Doesn't mean they are all bad, most aren't but some are.

As for Casualties of War, I haven't seen that in years so I don't even recall what the plot of the movie was. I know it was an unusual role for one actor (Fox) and a role for another that got a serious career started (Penn). It is based on a true story but how closely it follows the actual truth I do not know.

After reading the synopsis and the story of the actual event, about the only things in common are there are 5 individuals, 4 who kidnap and rape a girl, the 5th who does not go along with it. After that, looks like Hollywood glamorization.

Which is pretty much what I stated in post 30.

My original question in post 1 was really a very simple question and really required just a simple answer. Where have I stated that I don't accept the long drawn out answer to the question that I asked in post 1?

Do you know about the girl from Oyle who was raped and murdered by British soldiers shortly after WW2? It’s similar to the story portrayed in Casualties of War.

You were given simple answers many times by many individuals but it is apparent to this day that you haven't accepted any of them because you keep persisting in asking the same thing over and over. It is Hollywood, it is entertainment, it is most likely not very accurate, it is glamorized, many in Hollywood are anti-war, anti-US soldier and they have an agenda. All of it wrapped up in one simple short answer.

I reckon thats about it then........!

Oh! by the way I have a question do you really think Oddball brought that Tiger tank from the Germans in Kelly's Heroes!

[Aragorn243]

Kelly's Heroes was my favorite movie of all time until Star Wars came out. Still ranks fairly high on my list. Showed it to my kids and they didn't really get it.

do you really think Oddball brought that Tiger tank from the Germans

Yes, despite Moriarty's negative waves.

I haven't, show me where I haven't accepted a simple answer to a simple question, please? You and others keep bringing new topics into this thread which I
feel justified in responding to.

Why do feel that you have a monopoly in being right in what ever you say or think?

Ah, yes. Closing statements at credit time. Has anyone seen That Thing You Do? It is the story of the rise and fall of an early '60s pop band. At closing time we have the epilogue statements, including the "fact" that the bass player, known only as T.B. Player, was wounded in the siege of Khe Sahn and received the purple heart.

Seeing how T.B. never existed...

Really, you want to go down that road? You asked a series of questions, you were answered and you asked the same questions again. The answers aren't goring to change and were given by many.
