That’s because he wore makeup to make him look 20 years older.
I think it’s more plausible such a scenario would result from an accident or computer error. In 1995 there was the Norwegian rocket incident that was a hair’s breadth from causing an unintentional nuclear war.
Wow, I did nazi that coming, LoL

A bit like saying a turd is better than a hot bag of sick.
The original 1933 version is better than any of them.
Meh
I hated it. Not only is it a really overplayed Bowie song, but also anachronistic, and felt too like trying to copy Tarantino too much (who himself is a ripoff artist).
Holy crap, it’s like Goebbels is speaking from the grave

Weirdly enough, Martin sheen didn’t even provide the narration. His brother Joe Estevez did the voice over for Willard.
It already has a remake called “Annapolis”.
Have you read Carl Jung? He talks a little bit about the mind have to integrate its traumas to become fully healed. But the process looks horrifying.
Fu Sheng, Morehouse and Tubbs were all killed when Lt. Wolfe called in artillery on the wrong coordinates.
It’s a problem of the movie that Joker is a generally unlikeable character and Kubrick treats the entire Vietnam portion as a big joke. It’s like the whole movie has these weird tonal shifts and makes you wonder if you’re even supposed to take it seriously.
That’s no correct at all, only 7-8% of the General American population have PTSD (mostly stemming from things like rape or abuse). Whereas 30% of the US military will experience PTSD at some point in their life. That statistic is much higher.
While it’s true that suicide is fairly rare among veterans, it’s still much higher than among the civilian population. 30% of returning veterans have PTSD. That’s not a “small minority.” Turns out witnessing and committing horrific acts of violence takes a terrible mental toll, although Post-traumatic stress is actually a normal response by the brain to cope. Has nothing to do with “being a whiney crybaby”.
It’s not a generational thing, even in Vietnam soldiers didn’t talk like that.
If they intentionally target hospitals filled with civilians I don’t find it hard to believe they would target journalists, although I suppose it’s a 50/50 chance whether or not they knew they were journalists.
Well considering they were carrying cameras which are clearly visible in the video, I find it hard to believe their version of events.
There was also a story of a journalist being placed on a drone kill list.

It’s as likely as ever
