Thanks James. I would have gone to Vietnam, had I been male, in the 1970's. The photos and reports on the war made me think that I could save people over there; that there was a heroism in war. This movie changed how I view war. I could never again pretend that, for me, fighting, killing real people, maybe dying, was ever going to solve anything anywhere. (Although I am glad that they stopped Nazi Germany.) Nothing I've seen or heard has changed my opinion since then. Things would have to get real bad, or there would have to be an attack on my turf, before the shotgun would come out and no holds barred:) Hope that explains it a little. Hope you have a good school break.
