I recently got around to buying the 1996 documentary movie Fire On the Mountain, the story of the 10th Mountain Division in World War II and the contributions its members made to America after the war. Why would a bunch of hip filmmakers who show at Robert Redford's Sundance Film Festival want to even make a movie about soldiers who killed people?
Well, first of all, the President at the time was FDR and Soviet Union was our ally, and members of 10th Mountain Division went on to create a number of trendy ski resorts, found Nike Shoes and even The Sierra Club. Well, now the liberals could make a movie that shows they "support the troops" and show how the troops supported liberal causes after World War II. This is perfect, something for everyone. It even won a prize at the Sundance Festival. Wonderful.
