Probably not the best place to post a clip from left-wing Hollyjewed production but I've always liked this movie. I'm not sure what to make of Oliver Stone now - IIRC he is too far left such that neo liberals hate him. I know he recently made documentaries on Ukraine and on the JFK assassination lately - did he point his finger at the jew in the latter? Anyway, Tom Cruise is a cultist but still a good actor. This is probably his best performance. I think most people can get behind the message his character, based on the real-life anti-war activist Ron Kovic, says about the corruption of our government and the ongoing deception of its citizens. It tears me up every time I think about it. > I'm here tonight to say that this war is wrong, that this society lied to me, it lied to my brothers. They deceived the people in this country, tricked them into going thirteen thousand miles to fight a war against a poor peasant people who have a proud history of resistance, who have been struggling for their own independence for one thousand years, the Vietnamese people. I can't find the words to express how the leadership of this country sickens me. > People say, "If you don't love America, then get the hell out." Well I love America, we love the people of America very much, but when it comes to the government it stops right there. The government is a bunch of corrupt thieves, they are rapists and robbers, and we are here to say that we don't have to take it anymore. We are here to tell the truth, they are killing our brothers in Vietnam, we want them to hear the truth tonight. This wheelchair, our wheelchairs, this steel, our steel is your Memorial Day on wheels. We are your Yankee Doodle Dandy come home. > Why are they gassing us out in the parking lot? Why are they fighting us? Because it is a lie. The truth is that they have killed a whole generation of young men. They have sacrificed a whole generation of young men. The more things change the more they stay the same. I'm feeling a bit sad tonight my fellow Poalacks.
