Clint refused to show this in Flags of our fathers. Such as american soliders captured by the Japanese being tortured and multilated as they were.
Instead he concentrates on
Racism by whites against blacks and indians, portraying the flag raising on iwo jima as just a scam so america could sell war bonds, and making soliders all out to be stupid idiots for daring to fight for their country.

I think it's also a searing condemnation of war. OK, asshole, if you have a better idea I'm all ears.

Yeah, I'm trying to think of that war movie where everyone is running around just LOVING the war. For some reason I'm drawing a blank. :)That would have been Patton.

And he was one man whose point of view contrasted that of his men and fellow officers.

To be honest the beheading of prisoners was viewed as an honor by the Japanese tradition..............
So glad to hear this!
And all the while I was being so judgemental.

I wasn't happy with the "fiction" Clint inserted into Flags of our Fathers...it's only purpose was to portray America has a terrible country.
