"Colorado Springs is a huge military community and this film had no impact whatsoever."

From Wikipedia:

Ironically, the operation to capture former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was named after the movie (Operation Red Dawn), as well as its targets, which were dubbed Wolverine 1 and Wolverine 2. The Army captain who named the mission said that: "Operation Red Dawn was so fitting because it was a patriotic, pro-American movie." Director John Millius said about the operation's name: "I was deeply flattered and honored. It's nice to have a lasting legacy."[7]

Reagan Man, do you want a second stab at such a sentiment? hahahaha

Great info. I never knew that movie had such an impact. I only knew it struck home for those of us who were young at the time.
