Liberal Concept of Response to Lethal Environment

Rating: 4/10 (6 September 2014)

When I first saw this film at the time it came out, I thought it was very good. But now that liberal H-wood has steeped me in its BS for all the years I had subscribed, I now see that the BS theme associated with "Gomer Pyle" is that growing into an instrument of war is insanity causing to some. That the "hero", "Joker", drops his gun when shot at, then mercy kills the sniper that someone else protected him from. And that war is a waste for liberal reasons, not realistic ones. I very much doubt that any actual war movie has ever been made, and certainly not this as one. Saving Private R may be as close as it comes for action and the sense of "being there", but the schmaltzy political backdrop takes something from it. Maybe one of these days .
