Same here.

My three favorite movies to watch are Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, and The Pacific. I also watch WWII in color on Military channel and pretty much anything else they have about WWII on there, or any other tv station. I learn more about it every day.

HBO is showing "Taking Chance" again tomorrow (Monday). Pretty moving and accurate.

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

Like I said, my uncle had nightmares about it for years. So I know it had to be a very traumatic thing to witness. I'm not sure why he told me the stories because I knew it was hard for him to tell them. Maybe he just wanted me to know the real truth about what happen. I am grateful to him for it.

Him telling me those stories is one of the things that got me hooked on WWII history.

I'm the same way, Kyle.  I had 7 uncles on my father's side, 4 of them served in WWII, one of them in the Army Corp of Engineers, that helped built the Army Ammunition Plant near here. My dad only had one sister, and her husband was an American POW in Germany for the last 3 months of the war.

Dad and another younger brother served in Korea, the youngest had health problems that kept him out of the service.  He passed away before I was born, at age 21, and I carry his name.

I have always carried an intense passion for WWII aircraft, especially the fighters, even though I've never flown, or ridden, in any airplane.

My favorite WWII movies are Saving Private Ryan, Battle of the Bulge, and Kelly's Heroes.  (Gotta love "Oddball" and his Shermans!)

Don't hit me with those negative waves so early in the morning.

The only way I have of keeping them "interested", is by letting them shoot holes in me.

My great uncle was stationed in Pearl Harbor when it was attacked. He said that was the most fearful day of his life. He told me all kinds of stories about it before he died, and quite frankly, I would believe him over a bat crazy liberal.

This memorial day is to remember the veterans, and those you love that have passed on. That is why it is called memorial day. Take the time to thank a soldier, and visit the ones you loved grave sites. This isn't a day to start a blabbering debate about gay rights and remember only the gays. As it appears William769 is trying to do.
One of my wife's nephews sent us this email last night.  I met the uncle mentioned in 1968, right before my wife and I got married, and only talked with him a few times in the years before he died (about 8 years ago).  In those talks he never once mentioned his war experiences.

Quote
Thoughts on Memorial Day or Why I eat the end slices on a loaf of bread.
My uncle Rudy was captured by the Japanese on May 6, 1942 and was a POW until Sept. 7, 1945 at Osaka Main Camp, Umeda Bunsho Camp, and Tsuruga Camp where he was repatriated. He did not talk much about his time in the camps but I remember a couple of things that have stuck with me for the last 45 years or so.

One was that the civilians would occasionally sneak them a little handful of rice or an egg through the fence which would greatly help with their very limited diet. The second was that they most of the time only got a piece of bread and a cup of thin soup to eat and they were happy to get the end piece of bread because it was harder to chew and made them feel like they had more to eat.

As a young child this didn't make me want to eat the end slice of bread, but as I grew up I started eating them as a remembrance of not only what our our POWs have suffered for our freedom, but also the many more who gave their all for the same cause. I would encourage each of you to occasionally eat that end slice of bread and be thankful for those who had no choice.

This too shall pass.

I don't get HBO, or I would watch it. I will have to look for it online.

I'm the same way, Kyle.  I had 7 uncles on my father's side, 4 of them served in WWII, one of them in the Army Corp of Engineers, that helped built the Army Ammunition Plant near here. My dad only had one sister, and her husband was an American POW in Germany for the last 3 months of the war.

I had several relatives in the service as well. My grandfather and quite a few great uncles were in WWII. Family gatherings with were the highlight of my life when I was a child because of the stories they told. I was always amazed with how they made it through what they did.

I don't think I ever seen Battle of the Buldge, or Kelly's heroes. I will have to look for them.

Something else I noticed is that you don't see as many war movies as you used to. When we were in WWII, the whole country was together as one, and everyone was promoting the cause. Hollywood was on board making movie after movie about it. These days it is completely opposite except for the couple you see pop up every once in a while.

There is a reason that Hollywood doesn't make many war movies.  They would but the ones they want to make are anti-American propaganda pieces of sh*t, and they lose money.  Rather than showing American soldiers in a positive way and making money, they would sooner not make any war movies.

The remake of Red Dawn was going to have the Chinese as the invaders, but Hollywood didn't want to offend some of the Democrats largest contributors, so they went with the North Koreans instead.

That's just silly.

Almost as silly as the coming tokusatsu remake of The 47 Ronin. Keanu Reeves plays a half-caste gaijin who joins the masterless samurai in a universe with witches and giants. What's next, elves fighting for Lee at Gettysburg?

Spike has a Band of Brothers marathon running. It is a great show and I applaud Spike for doing it. They do this for Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Veterans Day.

Discovery stations are all the same station. They all show the same shows and produce the same fluff. It used to be a a good station, but lately they been going somewhat down hill. I still watch them, but they could literally turn all the stations off except for one and no one would miss them. The network has turned into mostly reality shows that have no learning or history concept to them at all. Although I am looking forward to The Hatfields and McCoys that starts tonight. Then, I always been a Powers Booth fan.

Planet Green is changing it's name to Destination America. It takes effect today. And just like with Planet Green, it will show nothing that has to do with the name of the network.

I noticed that Comedy Central has been running a "South Park" marathon today.  Appropriate for them, but only if they finish it off with "Team America: World Police".  Didn't look at the schedule to see.

Hollywood ran out of ideas long ago. It seems that all they are putting out today are movies based on comic books or ones they already made. While the originals were OK the new ones really suck.
Even TV is in the crapper. I end up watching more of the BBC shows I can get on BBC America and online. They make them first and in most cases (Top Gear in particular) and better.

I got into Whitechapel a while ago. Pretty decent crime show where they were using historical crimes to solve current ones. Started with a Ripper copycat. Luther isn't bad either.

I said before, I'll say again, that Hollywood hasn't had an original thought in 30-40 years, at least.  Very few films based on truly original ideas.

And if you look at the biggest hits of the last decade (or more) on television, guess who developed them?  Mostly the Brits and South Africans.
