With all due respect, if you let that one, admittedly gratuitous and wrongheaded point, mar an otherwise good movie, I think you've gotten too picky.

While A Few Good Men had excellant acting it was a typical left wing Hollywood piece of crap

It was
ANTI--Military--White Male --Christian
Pro--black male --woman

Reducing to Pro and Con like that is a bit reductionist. It was an Aaron Sorkin play.

I would respectfully disagree. In "A Few Good Men," the military was portrayed as, for the most part, an ethical institution (Cruise, Bacon, both the younger marines, Moore and Pollack) that was capable of weeding out the corrupt colonel. The only area where I think it strayed into typical liberal agitprop was the need to make Keifer Sutherland's psycho Lt. into a born again Christian.

Agreed, and it portrayed Marines as vacuous automatons

If there was ever a movie that demonstrated that Hollywood knows nothing about the military, its A Few Good Men.
