Don't know what happened to Clint but American Marines are phonies and the Japs were saints. I believe I have seen my last Eastwood movie.

Did you see the film? That's a complete misrepresentation of its content.

The Japanese were not portrayed as saints. And the Americans weren't portrayed as phonies -- they were barely portrayed at all. And I don't believe the Americans actually were saints, either. How could they have been?

There is a book out written by an American. The book's name, if I remember correctly, is American Samurai. Its about our Japanese American Soldiers who were interpreters in WW II. It makes for a good read. If you liked the movie "Gung Ho" with Randolf Scott (Circa 1942) don't bother to read the book. The author didn't paint a good picture of that raid.
