Part of the problem with modern war movies like Saving Private Ryan is that they are cast with a lot of leftist creeps who, because you are so familiar with their idiotic ruminations about current politics, strike one as simply ludicrous playing the roles of heroic men.

Ted Danson as a D-Day company commander?!?? Give me a break!

John Wayne as Lt. Col. Vandy Vandervoort? Of course!

That reminds me, Henry Fonda as Brigadeer General Theodore Roosevelt. With a cane and a limp.

And by contrast, Patton (who was not part of D-Day except as the 'commander' of the fictitious strike at the Pas de Calais) was in real life, an Olympic athlete, according to Victor Davis Hansen...

I ought to look up some real history about Gen. Roosevelt sometime.

Cheers!
