Darlene:Thanks! Let's get this out there!
Rasta: I take it you've you've sen Band of Brothers? Memories of Bastogne still make some of those guys cry. Paul Fussell, who fought in WW2, shares your father's opinion. He wrote that all war movies except for the first 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan are a crock.
