Yea, as liberals We sometimes are mistaken for not appreciating they're sacrifice. We do..

 

[UnleashedInTheEast]

Awesome, dude.

 

[GordonGecko]

Awesome, dude.

Nothing awesome...I was just the first to say it today.

Anybody else could have brought it up. In my case, it specifically was for mine and my wife's granddads, who coincidentially both served in the Italy Campaign. Both now deceased.

Today's hollyweird would have kept up on it with "Killing Babies and women, etc."

Great scene, but not the greatest.

"What does a yellow light mean?"

"Slow down."

Thanks for posting this Gordon, you're right...this is one thing we can agree on!

My father in law (deceased) was with the 101st Airborne...parachuted into Normandy.

My father (deceased) was a Chief Petty Officer in the Navy (WWII & Korean).

My husband enlisted in the Marines when he was 17 and went to Viet Nam.

My son is now in Afghanistan (4th deployment to the Middle East).

They and ALL our Veterans and active military are my heroes!!!

Rambo (even "First Blood")? Missing in Action? Good Morning Vietnam? Seems a lot of the movies about VN and the vets are against the war, but FOR the vets.


BTW, in the original novel of "First Blood"....Rambo WAS portrayed as a psycho. The "Hollyweird" movie turned him into a PTSD sympathetic character.
