Explain how this film gives aid and comfort to the enemy, and on what grounds everyone involved in making this film should be arrested.

I'm not being an ass, just wondering what you are seeing that I don't.

"Explain how this film gives aid and comfort to the enemy...


There are several ways to win a war. One method is to out fight and destroy the enemy. The other is to undermine the morale of the enemy and the civilian support for the war effort.

Viet Nam was won on the battlefield, but lost on the homefront because of the lies the media was feeding the people.

This movie is nothing more then propaganda designed to sap the morale of the people in the home front.

I will not go so far as to say that the people involved should be arrested or that the film not be shown, only that people should understand it for what it is.

One difference between now and Viet Nam is we could pull out of Viet Nam and only the Vietnamese would pay the price. If we disengage with the enemy now it will only make them stronger. We either fight them now, over there, or we will one day fight them here.

Yeah, I'd like to know the answer, too.
