Link: 'The War You Don't See' John Pilger 'The Deer Hunter, Platoon, Good Morning Vietnam' Fake heroism and Self Pity, The Invader as Victim Purged of all Crime

"As in previous wars public memory of the Vietnam War film was
influenced by Hollywood. 'The Deer hunter', 'Platoon' and 'Good
Morning Vietnam' films that perpetuated an illusion turning fiction
into truth; the theme fake heroism and self pity. The invader as
victim purged of all crime. Today a series of Iraq war movies follows
the tradition, the current Oscar Winner, The Hurt Locker." –Film Maker
John Pilger in documentary: ‘The war You Don’t See.’

yeah, the movies, I was in the public at the time, not going to the
movies. Mostly influenced by reality. And your point
is....what? You know better?

You don't see documentaries as being as informative as any source...other
than actually being in the damn war itself?

Were you there? Or are you simply as clueless as your response would imply?

Are you're bragging that you had helped invade a country and mass
murder it's population of peasants, systematically torturing them,
killing babies; so that the US government could wreak havoc over the
planet as part of his system of world domination? Do you have a lot to
be ashamed of Livvy? John Pilger was reporting in Viet Nam during the
war. John Wayne in 'The Green Barets' was not in the war, he was a
dumbshit who didn't know anything execpt how to prance around and
pretend he was an invader.
