I thought that quote was worth sharing. Gives us something to think about.  :)

I watched it also.... twice. :D Fairly well done, but I thought they got a little cartoonish with some of the historical figures (Patton and Montgomery).  I like how they portrayed DeGaule though, focking French were the same back then.   :ass  

I'm going to try and get it on DVD if I can.

It would be nice if we had all these thing with out fighting, but we can't.  we must fight for our freedom and to protect our self from other that wish to destory us.

Thank you and God Bless every one of the soldier's.

DeGaulle was an ass as General and and even bigger ass as president.  :ass

Cartoonish characters aside, I thought Tom Selleck did a masterful performance as Eisenhower making extremely painful and difficult decisions.  :good

I'll bet A&E will offer the DVD very soon.  :)

Tom Selleck is one of the people in Hollywood that I would like to sit down and have a beer with.  He did an outstanding job as Ike, I hope he gets some recognition for it.   :good

I've always enjoyed his work regardless of whatever roles he's played.

He's a very patriotic man and a gentleman to boot.

I remember when Rosie O' Fat had him as a guest on her daytime talk show to promote his latest movie and she just tore into him for being a spokesman for the NRA. In spite of being caught off guard, he handled himself quite well during her anti-handgun rant.  :good

Shortly after that broadcast, it was leaked out Ms. O' Donnell's children's 2 bodyguards packed concealed handguns.  :eek

I've despised that hippo crate ever since.  :angry
