Does anyone else here watch "American Dreams" on NBC Sunday nights? (after last Sunday it will be on hiatus until March).
It's set in the sixties and the Vietnam War is raging and they present basically all points of view. Last Sunday a main character, the Marine just back from Vietnam, confronted his sister for joining the "peace" movement and as she yelled how she did it for him, to save him, he yelled back that she didn't get it...that their "peace" movement was making it harder and getting them killed. Clearly she still didn't get it...she's on track to become a "journalist", but such is the way it was. I was impressed they had that Marine character say it just that baldly.
My college roommate is a writer for American Dreams and is a good dude. He probably inserted that scene, because I'm sure every other writer for that show is a flaming liberal.
Another good scene is when Forrest Gump punches that drugged out "peace activist" that was beating Jenny. That scene showed what a bunch of phony, grungy a-holes those folks were.
