WTF?

Breaker Morant is one of my all time favorites. The same director also did "Gallipoli" which stars a very young Mel Gibson (it was filmed in Australia) is also a great flick. I think the director's name is Peter Weir. I could look it up but I'm to lazy.

"Needless to say, the Germans couldn't give a damn about the Boers. The diamonds and gold of South Africa they're after."

The response: "They lack our altruism, sir."

Great movie. Highly recommended.

I remember a friend who had a leftist girlfriend who ranted about Vietnam atrocities. He dragged her to see it so she could understand that the situation on any battlefield was a lot more complicated than those who sat at home in pious judgement could realize.

I'm not sure about that.In the Boer War,the guerrillas wearing civilian clothes were all adults.There appears to have been at least a couple of kids involved in this one.

If it proves true that one or more Marines acted in a clearly improper fashion,I think it's more likely due to the stresses of war.Add to that the likely fact that the 9th Century knuckledraggers are doing their best to maximize "the fog of war" and,thus,civilian deaths for propaganda proposes and you've got a bad situation,image-wise.

Sounds like a no blood for oil argument to me.

It is, without a doubt, a great movie. One of my favorites.
