I remain perturbed by Ben Affleck's reduction of Canada's crucial role in the rescue of American hostages in Argo. Brits object, among other things, to the portrayal of their ancestors as war criminals in The Patriot. James Cameron had to apologize for slandering a Titanic officer. Do not get me started on Thirteen Days...

And don't get me started on the portrayal of Poles in every Holocaust movie.

Or the movie U-571 where the US Navy captures the NAZI cryptography set, when it was the British who actually did it.

I actually operated the old analog style crypto gear in the USAF.   That was a different time too.
