Great post.
I am so sick of hearing liberals and Leftists trash the military - now, after getting away with lying about Vietnam, they declare all wars meaningless, including WWII. And why? Because yet again, they are trying to undermine the resolve of the people's support of the military fighting now.
Leftists are all for fighting, as long as it's against a free people. But when America goes against totalitarian murderers, Hollywood fires up the trembling horror machine, and fronts actors intoning fear and grief at military families. And of course, the subtext is that the troops are too stupid to know their sacrifice is pointless, if not evil. It's war alright - war of the mind, and the enemy made the movie - yet again.
I don’t see anything of what you’re saying in what he said. I saw it in a “it was strategically unimportant to the overall Pacific campaign” light.
I don’t know anything about the battle or it’s historical significance, so I can’t comment either way, but that’s what it sounded like he was saying.
“For Mazzello, the needless waste of so many lives makes the sacrifice all the more moving. “They did what was asked of them hoped it was important,” he said. “Just because it wasn’t, doesn’t mean we should forget about it.”
What a stupid statement by an ignorant liberal. This little Jurassic Park kid doesn’t know anything. To say the Pacific War was a “needless waste of lives” and not important is the absolute height of stupidity.
Pearl Harbor, Bataan death march, killing our POW’s - this wasn’t important??? This wasn’t worth fighting for??? America isn’t worth fighting for???
Mazzello is either a Communist, a Socialist, or a liberal Dimwit - and perhaps all three.
Some vets need to give this dumb red-headed kid an education. And I would call for a loud boycott of any movies he happens to be in - with “The Pacific” miniseries as a lone exception.
