Fullmetal jacket did get the essense of absurdness
with th Marines marching and singing the Mickey Mouse Club song
but when Platoon came out, it was an intense experience for Vietnam veterans who went there en masse with their families and cried and heavedand said things like,
"that paranoid seargent who hid beneath the bodies sucks," etc, a true quote from my group therapy sesshin which we were into when platoon came out ciirca 1985, Shreveport, the Bossier City cinema, packed and intense,
and when Born on th 4th of July came out, it was my homecoming
deeply felt
where as Stanley's works were appealing in an anti-aesthetic sort of way
no comparison, interms of human deep penetrating affect,
and Oliver's third film in the trilogy can't remember th name,
was for the Vietnamese themselves
anyhow
I know about the Zionist vision
and mercy
manifest destiniers abound all over the world
and Christian zombies of xourse which is worse in my Book
where is Esther when we need her?
I am glad that singlemAlt has stArted this scroll
I mean when he said
payback's abbitch
mercy
it certainly encouraged my response
and I have been into this thread a lot over the last what three days
and hey
even Hank Williams sang "an th center of th world aint th dixie chicks an th center of th world aint hank williams,"

I am in exile from my paternal side of the family as they are a bunch of ultra-conservatives in Bible belt north Lousyanna

and good old Hillary is scoring her points right now telling Israel it got the right to do "whatever" mercy, killing a five year old girl in a field in Lebanon or as fast as cold calculated cold blood killing, can kill, well
the psychodynamics of rage are telling,
just look into the kiling fields. look deeply into your hearts.
I have helped to kill, and have seen direct killing, mercy
people suck, man. So lets all just get good and pissed and tell each other off and get it on. Let's send word missiles into chicago and get mAltyman and lets send plagues of duststorms into texass and get Mextextruckermon, and hey the next hurricaine iz gonna trash Tampa Bay, so what, I love destruction, and who cares if Judih lives or dies? Really, there is a point at which some inflammatory language is appropriate and I think that mAltezeman's initial point of darkness did fit th bill, no harm done in electrifying a debate,
but hey, I still love Knip, who couldn't, yet he stirrs my coffeepot and I know he has the keys to an enlightened military-political encompassing vision if only he'd unlock th doors of perception, and he is on that path, and won't stop growing even after he becomes the first Canadian beatnick Admiral.

and a Canadian veteran for peace
Arcadia, I think tthat your article is about the same kind of process, where a rubber-stamp congress allows the president or executive, to do as he pleases. Need to re read this. Gracias Amiga, voy a leerlo, Yo te prometo.
ST, I admire your anger, succintly o, but I disagree with your evaluation of Ollie versus Stanly. also am not as rampant an anti-Zionist as you.
a moment of fresh aire anyone?
Actually there was an incident where n Israeli ship was offthe coast of lebanon and it got hit with a Hezbollah missile awhile back,
but anything named Liberty I don't trust s the word is badly maligned,
Liberty College in Virginia, Jerry Fallwell's college for right wing Xtians, and every time I hear Bush say "liberty" it makes me puke,
but "liberation", now there's a word for pauze, youze
