Smitty, you may not like these films, but to imply that they kill anyone is WRONG. The most they can do is bore a person to tears.
The more of your posts I see, the more apt I am to put you in the same class as FedUp. Just the flip side of the same coin. Neither one of you are doing your "cause" any justice.

Well, Smitty....we did place a bunch of American citizens in camps, citizens who committed no crime...against their will during WWII...so, it's possible, but I would hope not. Again, that's the kind of suppression of speech that the German Nazis were using....and they used it well.

Any actions by Americans that end up in helping our enemys achieve their goals and destroying our troops and their mission is Treason! |

Do you think the films of WW2 starring John Wayne etc helped, hurt or had no influence on America's perception of the Japanese during WW2? What about those movies just before the war that were anti German. Do you think Ameicans went to those movies and never thought differently?
To hide your head in the sand about these movies is not only wrong its almost criminal.

Hi Teak,
I agree. The vast majority of people who are motivated to take up arms and commit violence are motivated by internal reasons...

John Wayne among others greatly helped the war effort in WWII! These movies can go both ways! |

So Smitty-you think I liberal nut job  ? |
I went with 7 bikers to see Wild Hogs and we disected that film afterwards as well. Consense of opinion was that Sam was a liberal nut job and a snob

The difference is, Nathan, all of these movies were made by us from a pro-American, anti-enemy view point...to influence us. Did Japanese and/or German-made films have any impact on our motivations and thoughts about the war??? I doubt it. And that's the more valid comparison.
