This is an embarrassing propaganda film. Mark Clark was a catastrophe as a general. Any sane person with any knowledge of history would see the BS this film is. Just like Wayne’s the Green Berets. People like the Green Berets today but in it’s time it to was seen as a propaganda film and it was. John Wayne’s son should’ve went and fought in Nam. JW would’ve seen things differently then.
John Wayne and Ronald Reagan avoided service in WW 2 by making government war movies.Bush Jr avoided the Vietnam draft by joining the reserves.Dick Cheney avoided Vietnam via 6 draft deferments.Bush jr called up both the reserves and the National Guard .Cheney’s Blackwater Company made a lot of money in Iraq 🇺🇸
You're lying about Reagan. He wanted to fight in the War, but was rejected from front line fighting because of bad eyesight. Making war films was the only thing the Army would allow Reagan to do for the war effort.
@Michael Baldwin And Bill Clinton smoked weed while avoiding the Vietnam draft. Tell me you have a larger point to make than just some partisan hit job.
Not James Arness, long time friend to John Wayne. Not Jimmy Stewart either. Not only was Stewart a long time friend of JW, but also a highly decorated serviceman. JW kept solid company.
Escalating the war proved disastrous Special forces were the only answer Training the government forces But as things turned out it was a wasted effort as the french found out earlier
The world can thank Truman for causing both the Indochina War and Vietnam War.If he would have read and answered Ho Chi Minh's letters before WW2 was over Vietnam could have been a US Protectorate like Puerto Rico,Guam,American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands,etc.,as Ho was seeking....Noooo,he sold them out back to the French...
To this day politicians put the enemy before our troops. It's been going on forever and is criminal. Put the politicians on the front line and see how things would change. USMC 1969 _1975
To everyone ITT: Propaganda is a perfect vehicle to convey a particular message or idea. There is bad propaganda and good propaganda. These types of American propaganda films were common throughout WW2, Korea, and Nam. They were meant to bolster American ideals of liberty and individualism. They were also made to raise the moral of American citizens and warriors. Walt disney made several anti-nazi propaganda cartoons that are amazing. Jimmy Stewart who was a decorated American warrior, also made recruitment short films during war time. Communism is very real and is responsible for tearing apart the cultural fabric of this nation in 2023. The lazy good for nothing draft dodging communist sympathizing feminists of the sexual revolution in 1960's are responsible for this country that i inherited at the age of 38. Shame on them and shame on all of the communist sympathizers ITT that are offended by anything this documentary conveys.
Monday morning quarterbacks are everywhere but not many took the field.The ones that did have their own view of the game and the ones that came home in a box don't care anymore. ☮️👍💓✋
