Default Re: Sneak Attack, (an idea based upon Pearl Harbor)

I agree with you ZzZ.
It's the same with the Vietnamese but movies tend to make the soldiers a substitute for the leaders of the countries with all of their bad traits expressed through the individual soldiers.
Most US movies portray the VC, the Nazi's and the Russians soldiers as emotionless, cruel, psychopathic robots when in reality they were people just like us, as afraid, homesick, weary and as duty bound as our soldiers. It's unfortunate that movies do this, for it minimizes the true sacrifices that all war veterans made.
While I like a good action movie as well as anyone, the movies that portray wars effect on the people involved always make me think and realize how horrible and usually pointless war is. Don't ever be afraid to speak up or your children will accept these false images of war as the truth.
