Everyone should rent/buy a copy of the movie “The Sand Pebbles.” Aside from being a brilliant movie and probably the best movie of the 1960s, it is wonderful in its depiction of how the US can be drawn into a war not of its own making.

I watched Sand Pebbles on Netlix not very long ago. It might still be there, likely is.

Good movie. In The Sand Pebbles, the sailors had the Chinese coolies doing their work for them because it was “their rice bowl.” Seems a little like the current situation. Like a kind of inertia has taken over.

My grandfather was a CPO in the U.S.Navy prior to and during WWI. The Sand Pebbles brought tears to his eyes.
