JF'nK is a lying traitor ~ Bump!
""Winter Soldier" -- a documentary which alleges atrocities by U.S. troops in Vietnam..."
Summation: Hollywood has taken license, once again, to put their liberal bias into the film.
"Hollywood has taken license, once again, to put their liberal bias into the film."
- Even though the Republicans (via Nixon) has taken virtually all of the liberal heat for the Vietnam mess that he inherited from Kennedy and Johnson, in retrospect it was the Democratic Party that was gutted by that experience and remains so to this day.
Not only did they drive Nixon from office but the Democrats in Congress and the Senate denied funding for South Vietnamese aid after the US withdrew. The South fell shortly after and then we had the boat people, Laos and the mountains of skulls in Cambodia.
At some level the liberals involved in that betrayal realize that their actions directly led to the deaths of millions and they have been in denial and seeking to justify their actions ever since. This film is but another example of that attempt.
"This film is but another example of that attempt."
You didn't finish the sentence... ;-)
Essentially, it's another Michael Moore-type of film.
since they ALL look so silly, I didn't keep too many of THOSE...
