I'll have to go see it just for the Tiger and Shermans alone.

‘Fury’ was the name of my first band in 9th grade. We had to change it cause everyone thought we were ‘Furry’.

The US harasses and spies on political dissidents.

We IMPORTED the political system that we fought.

The Good War this is not.

Why not?

What made that War Good, if it qualified, was not that it was kinder and gentler. By definition, war is nothing of the sort, no matter how much we might like to pretend it is.

It was Good because it destroyed an evil system that had a quite good chance of taking over the world, which it most certainly would have done if not fought.

At that point in the war we should have been pushing through to fight the Russians — a far worse threat to the world in 1945.

Shoulda dropped a nuke right on top of Zhukov’s HQ.

War is war.

Not going to war every now and then is worse though...

It’s no secret the Sherman was an inferior tank to the Panther and Tiger. I guess the general public may not know that since we’ve had the best tank in the world since the 1980’s.

They were hard men. They had to be. They were living in hard times. Everybody wants to kill tanks. And tanks want to kill everybody....even the crew. This fighting and killing and dying is a hard business.

After lying about our Vietnam soldiers and atrocities for decades, they are going to show some reality about our WWII soldiers and atrocities.

I hope these recent WWII movies don’t mean they are turning against our WWII troops also.

When I saw the title “Fury” at first I thought it was going to be a remake of the old Bobby Diamond tv western. But I guess Brad Pitt is a little too old to play Joey Newton.

Does anyone remember BATTLE OF BULGE? Robert Shaw and Henry Fonda were in the film...

In that movie, M-48 tanks pretended to be Tigers...

No Sherman tanks in that movie...Chaffee tanks were used by US troops in that film...

In movie A BRIDGE TOO FAR, Sherman tanks were used by British...Some US tanks, again, pretended to be Tiger tanks in that movie...
