One of our favorite films is “Sargent York” with Gary Cooper.

The scene during the war, after he has captured all the Nazis and one of them throws off a grenade and York just shoots the enemy, no questions asked, no reading him his rights, just quick and honest justice for a cowardly act in war.

Nowadays, York would be brought up on charges and court martialed.

Love that movie and love that scene.

I didn’t know that Nazis were involved in World War 1.

The scene during the war, after he has captured all the Nazis

And I hated it when they bombed Pearl Harbor!

I have heard similar from liberas about "Heartbreak Ridge" after Eastwood greases the wounded Cuban and swipes his cigar.

Of course that is not to mention all the contemptuous homo references......"Why don't you go back to your faggot 1st platoon?"

Everything about Sargent York is perfect. One of the best movies of all time.

“So he blew a little whistle and they came down and began to gather around and throw down their guns and belts. All but one of them came off the hill with their hands up, and just before that one got to me he threw a little hand grenade which burst in the air in front of me.

I had to tech him off. The rest surrendered without any more trouble. There were nearly 100 of them.”
