I saw the movie and had a different take. I felt that the Roman general was referring to Wubya as was Lincoln. When you watch the satire of Gen Custer I suggest that you rent the Movie "They Died with Their Boots On". After I first saw that movie I read the biography of Custer and he was a true hero! To enter the war as a Lt and get promoted for his leadership at the Battle of Gettysburg was an astounding feat.

Be that as it may, the movie takes liberties with history but the important thing is that we enrich our childrens lives with an understanding and appreication of History.

Memorial Day is a good time to remember!

I just don’t see how you got that take on the movie. Dubya is not in the White House now.

What are you smoking? Everything you wrote was poppycock. So who cares if their is indoctrination and history re-writing going on, just as long as the children are excited about history? Dumb

So Hollywood praised George W.Bush? Color me skeptical.
