To get back to The U571 topic... And to keep Rick and I from ending up back-to-back against ya here!! LOL!!!

I was having this discussion recently with a good mate who said something rather profound, or I think it is anyway...

"Some Americans are so concerned with proving that they are the best, they are willing to steal the truth from thier children"

The whole thing make me thing of Big Brother, and the "Who controls the past, controls the future" idea... (besides, we all know it's "He who controls the spice, controls the universe!! LOL!) Especially, as was said above, when these MOVIES, intended to be purely entertainment, end up being read as historical fact...

Rick touches on the best solution... read history... read everybodys account of the event in question, and remember they are ALL biased, all inaccurate in some way or other... there is no such thing as total objectivness... Especially when dealing with ideals, or motivations...

But you'd think someone could at least get the basic FACTS down eh!! LOL!!!
