MEDVED: "WE WERE SOLDIERS" deserves Best Picture Oscar Nomination

Agreed, but don't hold your breath waiting for the pinkos in Hollywood to give any recognition to a Vietnam movie that didn't accuse the Americans of being war criminals.

WHO CARES?! Seriously, the debate is what we want, not the hardware, IMHO. Have you tried to go in any WalMart accross America to find this movie? I have...musta checked a half-dozen WalMarts accross Virginia and haven't seen this move YET!! After FReepers and DittoHeads and FNCers debate why HollyWeirdo is so unabashedly Lib'ral that it ignores this movie when Prizes are awarded, well, I'll bet'cha WalMart will start selling this movie...may even set up one of them there cardboard displays.

And isn't that really the point?!
