This movie was an insult to the WWII participants.

Rating: Null/10 (6 March 2000)

This movie seemed to be attempting to remake WWII as a Vietnam type experience. If the real soldiers of that war really behaved in the way they are depicted here, I doubt we would have gotten past Pearl Harbor. Commentaries on war are fine, but they can be generalized only to a point. This one did not make it precisely because they picked the wrong war. WWII was unique in that most of the participants truly believed in the cause. This movie was an insult to those participants and to me personally, as my father-in-law went through it all, right from Pearl Harbor.
