Some vets wept when they saw Spielberg’s SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. At last, a WWII movie that showed what happened, not a glorified, Sgt. Rock Hollywood fantasy. Basically young men with their whole lives ahead of them being forced to walk through a meat grinder so a handful of mentally disturbed ‘supermen’ could strut and crow, forcing the rest of the world to slap them down. Oh yeah, that’s kind of what ALL wars are. “Hide, old men, and strategize, and snuff the light from young men’s eyes.”
