Thank you for your nine-word magnum opus. A fascinating insight into this movie. No doubt it will be remembered and quoted for years to come.

Amen.

It lost because Hollywood is a bunch of liberals who HATE war (even noble and necessary ones like WW II) and who HATE the military.

PS You're right about Fitzpatrick. Last year was an aberration. He's a journeyman.
