Watched “Catch-22” with hubby tonight. So many stars in the movie and all so young! Hubby read the book, which impressed me.

A good movie, quite a bit weird, very sixties, but just anti-American trash throughout. I had to leave at some points.

I’m sure there’s corruption in the military (I’ve seen Sgt. Bilko), but this was just stupid. I don’t think our military is like the way they were portrayed in this film.

This is where the rot started, in the 60s, and we are still rotting.

And it is NOT GOOD.

Great movie, and most definitely conservative.

Cap as a character is wholly Conservative, with Libertarian leanings …
Oxymoron.

So Steve Rogers is wholly conservative, but perhaps may have some “feelings” for Bucky that (per what I have been told by libertarians) would be nobody’s business because stay outta the bedroom? Wholly means wholly; words have meanings.

The actor’s a libtard.

Captain America comics had already called out the TEA Party as wrongheaded and racists.

And Marvel-Disney is in league with the Chi-Coms and pederasts.

I don’t think this really ranks high on conservative films...

>>But of course, this is WWII—the “good war” that even the Left (for the most part) approves of.

Kurt Vonegut and other Leftists are on record saying that we never should have entered WWWII.

I don’t just consider the film. I consider the actor’s public messaging, as well as that of the company that produced the film. I just will not willingly support them with my time or my $$$.

Don’t forget “The Manchurian Candidate”. A warning of what the Red Chinese were up to in the 1950’s and never stopped plotting world conquest.

Re John Wayne in the full article, Wayne was exempt from the draft/military because of agent and he had a wife and four children to take care of.

HOWEVER, he did apply to the OSS to see if they could use him. One of his “skills” he listed was “riding horses” but also said that he fell off of a lot of them.

That application is in a special file in the National Archives, College Park, Md. I’ve actually held it and read it. Might even have a copy around the house. Nice to work for the government and share some common interests with the archivist who was in charge of protecting it, the late John Taylor, a legend to intelligence people re his knowledge of intelligence documents at NARA (his book collection was pretty impressive too - which he donated to the NARA Library).

Now ask me about my James Stewart Army Air Force docs I found at NARA (Flight configuration plans with his rank and plane position for different missions. Also I have a copy of his visit 9with his wife) to So. Vietnam and a Mekond Delta medical facility for severely wounded Americans and allies soldiers, about Feb. 1969).

He was also reenlisted for a day or so to serve on a B-52 against the Communists, possibly in No. Vietnam. His rank was Brigadier General. One of Hollywood’s greatest war heroes and patriots.

Marvel actually had a fantastic tone in the entire Cap/Thor/Iron Man/Avengers saga. Regardless of the writers’ politics, the theme of a Bill Gates-like Thanos wanting to kill half the universe for “balance” was unmistakable. Likewise, many of the lines (esp. in “Avengers 1”) were memorable.

Black Widow: “Cap, you can’t go after them Those guys are gods.”
Cap: “There’s only one God, ma’am, and I’m pretty sure He doesn’t dress like that.”
