Streep?too bad.
As Drudge would say, “bad B.O.”
This was coming. How brave these Hollywierd types are! They pretend to be heroes in the land of make-believe. Yet they wouldn’t lift a finger for their country or for anyone else but deride those who selflessly risk their lives for others they don’t even know.
No comparison.
Forgot the Barf alert.
Question to all, does anyone know where I can find info on which actors (contemporary or past) have served in the military? I would bet my right one that no one from the cream of the crop has served in recent memory. Any inlut would be appreciated.
Follywood in it for the cash..........again. This is a free country and I guess Hollywood can make any movie they want. We don’t have to pay to see it. The message from Hollywood....bash US, bash Military, glorify cowards and traitors is an old and tired one.
Lee Marvin served with distinction as a Marine. I think he’s buried at Arlington.
It’ll bomb.
These dopes don’t get America.
No brains for oil.
She is all for turning a huge swath of Maine over to the Federal Gov't and chasing private homeowners out. She has been pretty active at pushing it but so far her issue hasn't gone too far.
Plus she acts in icky movies.
That's true. But of the three (Cruise, Redford, Streep), she's the one with acting ability.
she’s amazingly good. Oh well.
“Lee Marvin served with distinction as a Marine. I think he’s buried at Arlington”
Yes he is. He served with the 5th Marine Div
You have to go back to World War II to find a time when “Hollywood” supported the war effort.
Playing someone else is not necessarily a noble quality.
They’re wimps. It took Billy Zane and Gary Busey to appear in a foreign made film that slammed the US military and Jews (Billy played a Jewish doctor who stole organs from prisoners at Abu Ghraib to sell to wealthy American and Israeli customers).
If you are going to make propaganda for the enemy, go whole hog.
All commies hate fascists. That's why Hollywood supported WWII and why Hollywood still makes good WWII flicks.
However, commies/Hollyweirdos hate capitalists too. That's why so few movies against Communism and for wars like the current one.
Jane Fonda supported the war effort. She wanted to see the Communist North Vietnamese Army triumphant.
Innumerable actors in the past. Among current actors, two that come to mind are Dennis Franz and of course R. Lee Ermey. I don’t know where you’d find a list, though I’ll bet it’s out there.
Don’t know where to look but I heard recently that Captain Kangaroo and Mister Rogers were both in the military.
Mister Rogers was one tough commando as I understand.
Cruise, Redford, Streep Take On Iraq War In New Movie...
Yawn......
What about Cruise?? Cadet Captain David Shawn in the movie Taps. His best role ever. He dies in the end. His pre-scientology days.
>> Streep?too bad.
That’s not news. She’s not unlike the company she keeps.
The movie did not portray terrorists in a good light.
As for Little Tommy Cruiser he lost me long ago with his incredible ego.
Streep dosen’t play many of the movies I care to watch.
Streep like Redford is a lot long in the false teeth crowd and possibly over the hill.
I had Redfords Sundance channel taken off my cable television.
Don’t fool yourself. Pete Seegar and Woodrow Gutherie didn’t oppose Hitler until after he betrayed Joseph Stalin.
Up until that point they protested going to war against Nazi Germany like many of the US Communists did.
It was AFTER that point that Gutherie put the “This Machine Kills Fascists” on his guitar. Didn’t seem to bother him until then.
Urban rumors. And no need to give the Lefties at Snopes undeserved hits.
Streep put a lot of apple farmers out of business during the Alar hysteria back in the ‘80s. She testified before Congress about how “The Chill-run are all going to DIE!!!”
Wasn't talking about up to that point. Was talking about during and post WWII.
Commies hated fascists during the war and do to this day.
Sounds like something she'd do.
You are exactly right. By the end of this election those Fair-weather Americans will be taking credit for and supporting “victory in Iraq.” Reminds me of Falcons fans ;)
Here's a few
Never said it was. Just commented on the fact that she has talent.
I'm assuming you wouldn't apply that judgment to all actors, would you? You know, like Ronald Reagan and Fred Thompson?
I stand by my comment. Meryl Streep is a wacko lib. But she's an incredibly talented actress.
Freedom for Me, but not for Thee. That’s the Hollywood Way.
See post 36. Captain Kangaroo was a bad son of a gun. Mister Rogers wasn’t.
That acting isn't "necessarily" a noble quality? Sure.
People are always gaga about acting ability. I'm not.
I'm much more impressed with RR's leadership ability than his acting ability.
So someone can cry on screen. So what?
Okie doke.
I don’t think any current younger ( post Vietnam ) “superstar” is a vet.
And yet they love to play those roles.
Overpaid Hollywood film employees. They are not heroes. And they’ve never put their lives on the line for anything. I have respect for a few of Hollywood’s stars, but they are few and far between. Denzel Washington gets my respect; as does Steve Buscemi. Before becoming an actor Steve Buscemi was a fireman. When the twin towers were burning and and the smoke was thickest. Buscemi took out his old uniform and showed up to help. He didn’t even tell anyone who he was, he just went in with the other smoke eaters and saved people. Nobody would even have known he was there if someone with a sharp eye hadn’t spotted him in some news film later as he sat taking a short break with other first responder all dusty and filthy. I put him in the category of hero.
Jimmy Stewart was a Brigadier General and Audie Murphy was one of the most decorated soldiers in WWII.
“These dopes don’t get America.”
They don’t get themselves either. Looks like Streep is a Judith Miller knock-off. In lefty eyes she’s the demonized one who sold the world on WMDs and war, forgetting all the Western intelligence agencies thought ther were WMDs, even Joe Wilson did, so did Clinton, and the Iraq War has context before Bush. The movie, I’ll predict, will allow the Miller figure to the anti-war position, atoning for her devious previous mind control over her readers.
my mother was talking about him recently, she’d heard that he wanted to be remembered as a Marine, not an actor.
Here’s a link to one site that shows actors that served in WWII, what a difference to today’s traitors.

I didn’t know the following about Jack Palance...from that link I just posted...
“Jack Palance US Army Air Corps. 455th bomb group. Required facial reconstruction from terrible injuries received in 1943 when his B17 crash landed in Britain.”
I believe he said of himself that he was an ugly man or not good looking...God Bless him...
see my post #48!
