Watch 'em all in a lump over a three-day weekend, and you'll understand Grant's "War is Hell" statement, and perhaps, not so be gung-ho when voting for draft-dodging fear-mongering Republican candidates who believe that our national security is enhanced by invading an "attractive" Middle-East country...





Democrat presidents waltzed us into each and every one of the wars/conflicts described in all four films.

What's also interesting is that the first three are better anti-war films than right-out-of-the-box anti-war "message films" like the outrageously overrated M*A*S*H (and its vile t.v. spawn) and the godawful Catch 22. I think Pvt. Ryan is just a big rich turd. Sometimes I can't tell where that movie ends and the WWII Playstation games begin.

I'll take the THE FIGHTING 69TH any day!
