Best War Movie of this generation

Rating: 10/10 (14 November 2004)

All I have to says is that ABC deserves awards for showing an uncut version of this superb epic on Veteran's Day. ABC did this despite any possible FCC stuff coming back at them. 66 affiliates got scared. When you watch the movie, which you can't really call a movie, you don't even notice the language because it PUTS you in the middle of Southern France in June of 1944. Veteran's Day needs to be honored like Memorial Day in this country, as a real holiday, not some holiday like Lincoln's Birthday. People fight for our country and have died for it virtually every day for 3 years, the Persian Gulf, and of course the countless numbers from Vietnam, the forgotten war, Korea, and WW2 which is beyond well represented in this film.
