Again- nothing conservative about that. The Soviet Union made the same type of films that glorified their soldiers. Conservatism is not the open worship of military victories. Every society does that whether left or right.

First, there was no worship of military victory in "We Were Soldiers." Bravery and unity of purpose at great sacrifice is what I saw.

My guess is you have no personal experience with combat.

.."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. was not a "Celebration of Military Victories" that you say it is. On the contrary, it was meant by its makers to be the Best Anti-War Film ever made, which I believe it is.

...At the Conclusion of WWS the losing Lt. Col. AN, portrayed by Communist Vietnam Actor and now FreeMan DON DUONG, proclaims his own long term future Military Victory after 10 more years of Fighting there.

...On the Day SADDAM's Statue fell to FREEDOM in Bagdhad DON DUONG, after his being persecuted as a Traitor inside Communist Vietnam just for his being in WWS, landed in San Francisco CA a FreeMan forever ...almost kissing the ground in the Process.

...There's lots happening here far beyond your view of what makes a Conservative Motion Picture and what doesn't.

.."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. teaches us much on the screen and in real life about the LOVE of FREEDOM which is the Core Conservative Belief.

I liked We Were Soldiers because it didn't bad mouth America and it showed the hero praying with his children.

To me a film that can be honored by conservatives is one that honors our values and doesn't offend us with left wing propaganda. It doesn't have to preach second amendment or smaller government till we're bored silly.
