Maybe We All Look The Same -- But We Ain't The Same!

Rating: 9/10 (13 February 2019)

New York Times columnist Anna Quindlen once wrote that enlisting in the military was nothing but "a great American post-adolescence for some young men and women not smart, not rich, not directed enough for college."
This movie tells the story of those people. The unlucky ones who fought in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. These are the people who don't matter. The people a modern feminist can safely dismiss with smug contempt. In the name of love and peace!
And do you know why Anna Quindlen hates us so much? Because she wants to be proper. She wants a proper home and a proper position with a proper husband who can give her proper children. And she's never going to apologize for any of her ignorance, cruelty or hypocrisy because having a college degree means . . . well, it means she's proper. And when you're proper your safe.
One final thought from Anna Quindlen. "We have become more complicated than the scripts of old movies." Baby, nothing you've ever felt, written, or thought is as complicated as this movie.
