Any of you remember the old Red Dawn movie? The Soviets enlisted the help of South American commies to invade from the South, while they came in from Alaska. They also dropped paratroopers under the guise of something I can't remember right now.

The movie was just on USA network a while ago. That was good because I hadn't seen it for a while.

But the US was caught completely off guard. I didn't really care about the whole dumb story line about teenagers, Emilio Esteves, Charlie Sheen, and Patrick Swayze taking on some troops in a way just as worthless as those terrorists in Iraq. But the broader storyline was more interesting.

Red Dawn was one of my child hood favs. This thread reminded me of it lol.

I found it hilarious that virtually all the actors in that movie denounced it to appease the Hollywood Pinko-Commie-PC crowd.

I actually have it on DVD. Fantasy of course. But one must remember that Stalin feared the US because there was a deer hunter behind every tree. He feared rural America. As well as America's vast pool of military trained people, i.e. veterans.

Most dictators fear an armed society. Hence, the young folks in RED DAWN were able to make a stand. Defeat the invader. Good triumphs over evil. Corny, but that's Hollywood.
