daddy,
Watching it, I kept thinking of the potential impact this series could
have on young people who know so little of US history and have instead
been "taught" so much agenda driven nonsense. This film starkly shows
that there was no negotiation possible with Germany & Japan. No
amount of "tolerance" or "koombaya" is effective against evil. That's
an especially important lesson in light of current events. I kept
thinking about that & so many other things. Many things that
I never fully realized - that Paris was already occupied by the Nazis in 1940,
that we couldn't go back to Bataan and rescue our guys because of
the loss of our fleet at Pearl, and what our guys went through at Guadalcanal.
So many things to think about & digest.
I can't wait to watch it tonight. Most of the folks in my office will
be watching "Dancing With The Stars" (God help us!!!) - Not that it isn't
an entertaining program, but when I recommended "The War", they stared
blankly at me. This is what we're up against - the dumbing down of America.
They know who Brittany Spears is, but not Winston Churchill.
