Wise FReeper!
Watching it every now and then keeps you sane, right?
For REAL torture, being a baby boomer and Nam era young adult, I’ll watch the Christmas Specials Bob Hope did for troops in Southesast Asia where they closed every show with “Silent Night”, all the kids knew the words and no one screamed separation of church and state.
Have yet to make it through with a dry eye....

For decades I believed that “Expendable” was actually filmed in the Philippines at war’s end. I looked it up on imdb.com and read that it was actually filmed in the Florida Keys. The lack of mountains should’ve tipped me off. In the early 60s, I spent 18 months stationed in the Philippines.
