Also in Breaking news:
Rubber Ducky Race Postponed
Part of the homecoming festivities are being put on hold, for a couple weeks anyway.
To the disappointment of many, this year's Rubber Ducky Derby was postponed.
Organizers tell us that although the race won't be for a couple of weeks, ticket sales for the Rubber Duckies, are finished.
But the good news is that for those of you who did buy a ticket, the winner will get $15,000 to put towards a new car of their choice at Warton, Superior, Warner, Mullen, or Kinchelo Motors.

Thanks for the heads up, Ronnie. This one's definitely going into my collection. A great inspirational book and film.

Best film in memory. Best film of the war. Per Joe Galloway interview to
Proceedings, faithful to his and Gen. Moore's book in the main. With "Black Hawk Down" a long-deserved salute to the bravery of our fighting men.
During that month, November, 1965, LBJ refused the Joint Chiefs' request for permission to bomb Hanoi and mine Haiphong, per the account of the Marine officer present at the meeting, "The Day It Became The Longest War". Lt. Gen. Charles G. Cooper, U.S. Marine Corps (Retired), pp 77-80, Proceedings, May 1996.
The treacherous betrayal by LBJ parallels the ceding of command to the UN in Somalia by traitorrapist42.
Now, as we continue the war on terrorism, we have a Commander-In-Chief who will continue to support our people.

Became my favorite movie of all time when I saw it in theaters.You gotta be kidding! This movie SUCKED! The book was wonderful. The movie substituted a stupid hollywood ending that never happened. C'mon, folks. I like Gibson, loved the book, but let's be real. The movie just didn't hack it.

And you don't like feel good Hollywood endings? The Left's gotta hear about that one since thet were against the Vietnam War. Nothing wrong with a little historical revisionism after 911 and remember - its only a movie!
To: goldstategop
Nothing wrong with a little historical revisionism after 911 and remember - its only a movie!Maybe, but let's face it--for better or for worse, movies are how many, many people get a good deal of their history. When movies revise it to be something it's not, then it completely distorts it in the eyes of the public.
