Im 68, and that was the way we were brought up, if you didnt learn good manners the easy way; you learned them the hard way. There was always a line drawn, the choice was up to you where you stood. Seems to me that society blurred the lines and now wears the consequences.
I once had the opportunity to do the same thing to my oldest son. He always removes his hat now when addressing ANY female, and holds doors open for everyone. I must admit, I learned it from the Duke, this scene. My chest swells with pride when folks tell me about how respectful my boy is.
I know the feeling. My nieces and nephews back talk, scream, yell, run amok, even one of them proudly announced at Christmas dinner that he was bisexual and an atheiest when he was 11. My 10 year old son calmy walked over and informed that this was neither the time, nor place and proceeded to walk with him outside where the nephew took an almighty beating from my boy when the nephew decided he wasnt going to be told not to act like that. That day still brings a tear to my eye when his mother told me my boys were so well behaved, that is until she saw her little sjw come back in with a black eye and busted lip. That was 9 years ago and that nephew has only ever showed up to family get togethers when he is sure my family wont be there. Funny thing is, his Mom had the same upbringing as me and allows her radical husband and inlaws to brainwash her kids.
@@southronjr1570 "My nieces and nephews back talk, scream, yell, run amok" - That is completely acceptable. "Even one of them proudly announced at Christmas dinner that he was bisexual and an atheiest when he was 11." Horse of a different colour. There's certainly nothing wrong with being proud of being bisexual or atheist or anything else that's legal and doesn't infringe on anyone else's rights. Now, if he said it in a manner meant to be rude or insulting, then, yes, it was wrong, and his manners needed to be corrected. That aside, we all are who we are, and anyone not willing to accept that is the one who needs to be corrected.
@@davidjorgensen877 Kids screaming, yelling and running amok is not any form of decent behavior in the house during Christmas get together. I fully agree with we are who we are and live by the mantra of I'll do me and you do you, however when the boy decided to scream it at the top of his lungs looking directly at his VERY religious grandparents as a way to to not only be rude, but insulent and obnoxious because his grandmother has asked him to stop throwing food across the table at his cousin. There is a time and b place for most anything in life, even the stuff ones not proud of, but disrespecting your elder family is NEVER allowed, period. Had my son not taken his action, I was getting up to take the boy outside and educate him on how to behave. This is the same child who had, just the year before, decide he wanted to swing on the tire swing in the yard. When he saw his 3 year old cousins sitting in it, instead of asking, or saying a word, he took a brick and walked up behind her and hit her as hard as he could. By shear luck, she looked around and only took a glancing blow instead of what could have been a lethal blow to the head. She still suffered a concusion and 12 stiches.
@@southronjr1570 Thanks for clarifying your experience. We seem to both agree that independence of mind is a virtue, but it can and should be cultivated without indulging rudeness and arrogance. It appears your nieces and nephews are in want of some basic parenting. I've seen it in my own extended family.
Credit to the kid. He took his ass-whuppin' for the lesson it was and learned from it. When I grew up John Wayne was the man we all wanted to grow up to be... stern, fair, gentle when he could be, and hard when he had to be.
The closest you'll get to Duke today is Walker Texas Ranger. No other show comes close. I had a lot of high hopes for 2012's Vegas with Dennis Quaid, but the Show was canceled in spite of being well-favored. Deputy could have been awesome, but it was far too "Woke" as some might say and it had the shakey cam rubbish and way too much profanity.
@@sackitt16 You know, the Duke was pretty 'woke' too, man. Especially for the era he came up in. As for WTR, I really disliked that show. But then, I don't much care for kung fu or wrestling so-called 'actors' in any event. The show was over processed like aged box of Velveeta. The Walker character was supposed to be the paragon of all manly virtues with none of our faults and that's just nonsense. They treated Tripp, the black partner, as a 'Tonto' style sidekick and the character was thinner than wet cardboard. I much prefer characters like the Duke or Jeff Bridges, whose characters DO have faults and have made mistakes but rise to become the men they intended to be, but fell short of. That kind of character rings a bit truer to me.
@@carlhicksjr8401 You are entitled to your opinion sir, but to say a paragon without vices is nonsense is to miss the point of Walker completely. Walker Texas Ranger was written as a salute to John Wayne, Roy Rogers, and Gene Autry for the kind of cowboy heroes they portrayed: virtuous paragons who walked tall and shot straight without vice just as God would like us to choose to be from the start. As for Trivette, let me tell you this: as a young black boy growing up in the 1990s, it made me glad to see a black guy with simple virtues and a strong moral code, who didn't talk with an urban accent, admired top tier cowboys without racial prejudice and never stopped pushing himself from being better every day. Jimmy Trivette came from the ghetto and seemed to be headed for a life of glamorous glitz as a football player when he suffered an injury. He hit rock bottom and may have ended up becoming a criminal when he met C.D Parker, an old-time Texas Ranger. C.D helped Jimmy get on the highway patrol and mentored him toward becoming a Texas Ranger, just as he had mentored Cordell Walker. Trivette was indeed a sidekick, but aren't we all sidekicks to someone the Good Lord brings along to help us on our way? Trivette started out as a bit of a smart mouth with a heart of gold but eventually became a veteran ranger in the mold of the Lone Ranger who was his hero as a kid. As for Walker, he too matured from being a lone ranger into a mentor like C.D. With the coming of the younger rangers Gage and Sydney Cooke and his marriage to ADA Alex Cahill, Walker became a husband and father figure showing the way forward to even greater virtue, just as most of John Wayne's later film roles portrayed. That is an awful lot of rising in manhood if you ask me. The martial arts moves featured in Walker Texas Ranger were based on moves that Chuck Norris used during his service as a military policeman. If you don't care for it, fine, but don't knock it. You say that you like "flawed" men who rise to become heroes, but God does not make us that way. We may not be perfect when we're born, but we don't have to be any further behind the line than we choose to be. Jeff Bridges is a good actor, but not as good as his dad, Lloyd Bridges. I have seen Lloyd Bridges in a lot of films, but no one can forget his portrayal of Mike Nelson in Sea Hunt. Like Walker, Mike Nelson was a man of virtue without vices who you could always count on to do the right thing and save the day. The word hero means a person who is admired and idealized for courage, outstanding achievement, or noble qualities. Jesus Christ is the greatest hero of all, next to his father, Almighty God. Jesus came down to save us from hell and withstood all temptation without fail, encouraging the rest of us to do the same. That's sort of hero Walker Texas Ranger is: a man who trusts God and grows closer to him as the show goes on and rises to greater manhood because of it. Take care and God bless.
@@nataliehampton6181 I never said his accomplishments as an athlete were in question, NH. I said I don't like the man's acting nor did I like the Walker character. Whole different thing.
@@carlhicksjr8401 I have a DVD of John Wayne and Kirk Douglas in the Western, 'War Wagon.' I read that Kirk took a unscheduled break from his role in the movie to promote a liberal political candidate. He apparently thought enough of himself that he didn't let anyone including Wayne and the producer know when he left. They found out when Kirk didn't show up to work. After Kirk returned, a slightly miffed Wayne returned the gesture by leaving to film a commercial to support Ronald Reagan for President. Wayne and the producer let Kirk go to make up and costume, then arrive on the set to find nobody there!
Last time i tipped my hat to a lady, she got all hot under the collar, lippy and rite uppity. But i reckon it was My fault, i thought she was a Lady ...
Mine would have knocked me off the horse, dismounted , then whooped my ass. But I grew up in a time when there were still Saturday serials at the movies. And a good butt whooping was the norm for teaching right and wrong.
So I took my son to a minor league baseball game and, when the Star Spangled Banner stated, at least he stood with me but failed to take off his ballcap. As I saluted (veteran) with my right hand, my left hand missed his nose by about 1/4" as I KNOCKED his cap off his head. I think he remembers.
Well done. Sometimes people need to be reminded that while they have the freedom to choose to be disrespectful, choices often come with consequences. Especially when disrespecting the nation and those who laid down their lives to ensure that they have freedom of choice.
I was brought up on John Wayne movies he was my mothers favourite, I watched The Searchers again on TV for the umpteenth time recently, a superb movie and the final scene of him silhouetted in the door frame is epic.
@jeff lockaby they were true as a whole they ,any race white included, were getting money for nothing and not pulling their self's up as a whole. Lots of all races do it including whites
@@carmineredd1198 If he did that, then his character was intended to be bad. In real life Duke loved Mexico and its people. His three wives were all from either Mexico or South America, which means his seven kids were all half Hispanic.
@jeff lockaby are... You serious? Look I get how what he said could seem racist but he was being honest when he said that about minorities needing to be educated (as a Mexican myself) I don't mind him saying a friend is a Mexican lover there is worse he could have said but to go back I'd rather have someone who can read, write, and understand the laws and constitutional rights of the nation I'd rather they rule not a idiot who'll listen to anyone because they dunno what they are doing plus no one is polishing a turd in fact you are for your little insults to anyone who doesn't see your absurd side to the discussion back then what was said was said because back then we could speak freely and words only had power if they were given power but now people like you run around trying to find anything offensive to bitch about
I once held the door open for a woman behind me, she said "I CAN OPEN THE DOOR MYSELF". I apologized and said to her last week I held the door open for a man behind me like I did with you, He turned out to be a member of a motorcycle gang. You know he said to me? Thank you.
Damn right, and the busy bodies who feel the need to give their opinion on raising other people's kids. The townhome complex I live in has a large number of kids, all self entitled spoiled brats. They like to throw stuff at each other, one day one got hurt. Yelled obscenities at the others and more rocks got thrown and hit my unit. I told them to stop, play with their toys but stop throwing rocks. One said or what, I said I'll call the cops. 15 minutes later, one of the mothers I've never met before comes up to me all pissed off and says I don't my you playing all parent with the kids but you can't threaten to call the cops because my kid is biracial and is afraid of the cops. I said I wills ay whatever I want. She got pissed and went and called the cops on me for "harrassing the kids." Cops told her to get a life and did not even bother to get my name. It's lazy parents, it's entitled parents, and it's just stupid people that is causing the issue with kids. Can't raise them, stop making them.
A lot of parents these days don't have parenting skills because *their* parents were too busy at work to raise them properly and turned their kids over to babysitters and daycare centers run by people not paid to teach the kids proper manners and morals. What this country really needs is more stay-at-home mothers who care about and for their own children and understand brats are a bad reflection on *them*.
I smart mouthed a girl only five years older than myself,ONCE, without a word my mother (a tough woman) backhanded me so hard when I came up out of the pool my lip was bleeding!
These days anybody who is pro America is called a racist and a Nazi. This is because the left is teaching our youth in schools. So it’s left up to us to make sure we teach our children what is right.
This is a scene in a movie. It doesn't refer to a person's thoughts on race !John Wayne had some good ideas and some that were not so good just like the rest of us!No one is perfect!I real liked his movies especially his westerns!
It's true. Boys can be arrogant,ignorant and rude. They need men to show them how to behave, by politeness and example - if that doesn't work, more robust methods may be needed, like throwing them into the mud! This is a good scene.

John Nowakowski - The key phrase here is “in his movies.” As a person John Wayne was a racist bigot. Just stating fact. I believe it’s possible to respect a person professionally as he was an amazing actor, and have a different opinion of him personally.
Manners cost nothing these days and youngsters today have no respect for anything but I've found it's mostly the older generation that are the worst for not having manners. Some of them seem to think they have the automatic right to be rude to others. I once politely asked two dear ladies to allow me to pass them on the path as I was walking faster and they moved but as I went by, they gave me a right mouthful for being disrespectful and having no manners. I responded by saying that if I hadn't, I would have shoved straight past them without a word and that I was brought up to respect my elders. They soon shut up
Brando and others constantly and publically vilified John Wayne for representing anti native American bias in film, but there are plenty of examples that show the opposite such as this one.
Another very good example, of which 99% was John Wayne's pushing of his role, was Hondo. The entire movie was basically the Native American's response to the whites breaking of the treaty. And Wayne saying they are right and lead a good life and hate lies. It was, according to Wayne, his favorite role.
I work at a coffee shop where we have a lot of old western TV shows on during the day. You definitely had some stereotyping and what not going on in them, but I was surprised by how often they paid attention to issues of race and sex. Especially when it came to the conflict between the cowboys and the Native Americans. And often at the end of the day, there was still a strange respect between the two groups no matter what happened previously in the episode. Both sides had their moments of being awful and hateful, but they always seem to level out again at the end. It's been oddly surprising and comforting to see these days.
That's because both groups were warriors. There are 3 points to this. 1st: Most people don't realize that cowboys were fighting men out of necessity. Wild Bill Hickok may have had the first recorded quick-draw duel in history, but as he was noted at the time as fast on the draw, I find it hard to believe he was the first. Settlers were having duels of honor with knives or pistol as far back as the mid-1600s and they too had to fight Indians. One must remember that between having to deal with Indian and Mexican raiders as well as defending personal honor made cowboys put courage on a high premium. No one would hire or accept a man who shot an enemy without warning or in the back. Such a thing was taken as an indication of a man being dishonest and a possible outlaw. By the time of the trail drives north to Kansas, Texas trail drivers had already pushed herds west to New Mexico, Arizona, and on to San Francisco, California where the going price for cattle was as much as $100 a head during the gold rush of '49 and throughout the 1850s. Herds had already been driven to Sedalia, Missouri as well as Colorado. Many of the cowboys who drove these herds were ex-Texas Rangers who had served under Jack Hays, Sam Walker and John Salmon "Rip" Ford. Others were ex-cavalrymen who had ridden in the Mexican War, or with the 1st and 2nd cavalry out of Fort Leavenworth Kansas, or under Col Robert E.Lee in Texas, guarding wagon trains and settlements. Most, if not all of these men would have been good shots with a pistol or rifle and their numbers were swelled by civil war veterans of both sides after 1865. 2nd: Most of the Hostile tribes of Indians may have lived lives of rapine and murder, but they had fighting skill par excellence that no one could deny and there were warriors who would not harm women or children among them. Not many, mind you but they were there. Both the Crow tribe and the Eastern Shoshone were even better horse raiders and riders than the Sioux. They had to be because the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho had been pushing them around for years. Crow and Eastern Shoshone warriors were known for defending wagon trains in their territory and would often help guide settlers across rivers and trade goods with them. All of this was known to Cowboys and Theodore Roosevelt himself wrote of instances of cowboys returning horses that had been stolen from Indians. By the time of the last Indian wars (1864-1900), many of the older Indian chiefs who favored living in peace with whites were being pushed aside by young punks who wanted raiding honors and loot and female captives. They would not listen to the older chiefs who had fought and lost against mountain men, freight and settler wagon trains, and the U.S Cavalry in the 1820s-50s. They saw the older chiefs as becoming weak and feeble. Washakie, chief of the Eastern Shoshone, was once spoken to by a young cavalry lieutenant (I don't know his name) who had seen one of Washakie's braves beating his wife with a whip. Washakie replied that sometimes wives had to be beaten to make them obey. The lieutenant told Washakie that to permit such brutality indicated weakness in a chief whereupon Washakie confronted the brave and told him that if he ever hit his wife again, Washakie would kill him. The very next day, Washakie saw the offender beating his wife yet again and shot him dead. Weather Washakie kept up this stance on respecting women in his tribe, I don't know, but I know that he did tell his men that if they raided white settlers, he would kill them (even his son). Washakie was but one example of the older Indian chiefs who wished peace with whites, particularly ranchers. As such he and others like Red Cloud of the Sioux, Quanah Parker of the Comanche, and Magnus Colorado of the Apache became hated by the younger warriors and chiefs who wanted to keep murdering, raiding for horses and women, and be allowed to beat their wives without punishment. 3rd: Both cowboys and Indians were horsemen and warriors of the first order. By the 1840s, the Comanche tribe was the finest light cavalry in the world and without question the greatest horsemen in the west. The only force of fighting men to ever regularly beat them in combat was the Texas Rangers, who did so by learning to ride every bit as good as Comanches. As I have said, many rangers became Trail drovers and ranchers in their own right. U.S cavalry under George Custer and other noted leaders eventually came to rival Indian horsemanship, but cowboys mastered it to a whole different level. No less a figure than Theodore Roosevelt himself took the opportunity to observe and study western riding techniques from Indians and cowboys alike, and upon comparing them to Cossack or Roman horseman doing so judged Cowboys the finest rough-riders in the world with Indians a very close second, due to the nature of Cowboy tasks on horseback. Both Cowboys and Indian warriors would brave enemy fire to rescue a wounded comrade, often using daring horsemanship to do so and wherever possible, would actively seek to face one another in open combat. What's more, the cowboys had a reputation for protecting even Indian women and girls with the utmost chivalry. Thus there was mutual respect on both sides of both groups as fighting men of the highest caliber. All that being said, no group like the cowboys of old could exist if racial prejudice prevailed in the group. White and black cowboys, along with Mexican vaqueros and Indian cowboys all had great respect for one another and many a cowboy crew was racially mixed. Still, even all white cowboy crews were known to back a black, Indian, or even Mexican cowboy to death if he were known to be in trouble. One reason there weren't many black actors playing in early and golden age Westerns is that many black actors thought portraying cowboys as somehow beneath them. As a young man, John Wayne was shocked to discover how many black stars would not push as hard to be in Westerns as they would other film roles. Black cowboys like Bose Ikard (Best friend of Charlie Goodnight) helped to write the cowboy legend and were praised by men such as Booker T. Washington, but sneered at by the like of W.E.B du Bois and Marcus Garvey who saw them as sellouts to "The White Man". While many film directors had racial prejudice against minority actors, the very best directors like Cecil B. De Mille, John Ford, and Raoul Welsh were not. Western authors like Zane Grey and Louis L' Amour pushed racial boundaries by making major roles for Blacks, Mexicans or Indians in their novels. One such character is Ride'em Jackson, in Zane Grey's novel Knights of the Range. Jackson's full name is George Washington Jefferson Jackson and he is the bronco buster of the outfit. Not only is Jackson well-liked by the other cowboys, but he is also a top shot with a Winchester rifle and is the only rider in the story to nail two outlaws with one shot in a face to face shootout which Grey has Jackson describe to the reader. No other western novel written by any other western author has featured such a characterization and this particular novel was written in 1926 during the height of Jim Crow. It went on the become a national bestseller. Many Screenwriters who wrote scripts for the 1950s tv westerns like Wagon Train, Rawhide, Bonanza, Maverick, and Cheyenne had come up reading the novels of Grey, L' Amour, or Clarence Mulford who created Hopalong Cassidy. They had a chance to talk to people who lived through the days of the Old West during the 1920s and 30s much as our generation has the chance to speak to our WWII vets. Also, by the 1950s, the cold war was on and Cowboys and Indians were often used to portray the hope of the USA and USSR coming to live together in peace much like Star Trek portrayed Humans and Klingon coming to peaceful co-existence. John Wayne contributed to this cinematic undertaking by starring in films that portrayed Indians in a dignified light: The Big Trail, Texas Terror, War of the Wildcats, The John Ford Calvalry Trilogy, Hondo, McClintock, War Wagon, Chisum, and in the movie portrayed here, of course, Cahill U.S Marshal. Wayne was not the only actor who did this nor his westerns the only westerns that conveyed respect to Indians, but they were the best of their kind. You will never see Longmire or Hell on Wheels afford this level of racial respect as the classic Westerns do. Touching upon Women in westerns, I have never seen any modern show that respects women, as well as classic westerns or western novels, does. Watch any 1940s-50s western and behold the saloon girls being treated with respect. With no profanity or graphic sex whatsoever, women are still portrayed as strong and tough, yet tender and feminine. The Women of "Chicago P.D" or "NCIS" will never best the likes of Dale Evans, Maureen O'Hara, Olivia de Havilland, Gale Davis (Annie Oakley) Amanda Blake (Miss Kitty, Gunsmoke) Barbara Stanwyck (Victoria Barkley, Big Valley), or Linda Cristal (Victoria Cannon, High Chaparral). In my opinion, the only modern female characters who come close to this level of strong femininity are Ziva from NCIS and Sydney Cooke from Walker Texas Ranger.
Actually, I like the bit where George Kennedy is pretending to be dead and the Duke shoots him anyway. Kennedy jumps up and shouts, "Damn you Cahill, you'd even shoot a dead man".
Did you know that John Wayne was given his nickname 'the Duke' because when he was small his dog was named Little Duke. His family called him Big Duke because they went everywhere together.
Removed my hard hat for a nice lady in an office i had to enter in order to get a call put out for a storeman at a factory, she was so delighted i thought she might cry. Decent manners costs nothing but the rewards for everyone involved are great.
"Maybe if more kids watched movies like this they'd have better morals and respect for other people" Uhm. So who raises these kids? Wolves? It's funny how older people whine about kids today but in fact they "older people aka parents" raised the animals.
My hero as a boy growing up in the UK,it pains me to hear the criticism aimed at The Duke from virtue-signalling idiots,my parents brought me up properly but John Wayne always impressed me with his doing 'the right thing' morally,protecting those who are unable to protect themselves and loving your country,it's shameful that those attributes can somehow be considered wrong.
This westerns were great. Entertaining, showing the values of a lost society. But then came Outlaw Josey Walles and shot them all lol. Clint Eastwood showed us that there was nothing glamorous about the violence.
A friend has gotten hooked on the old Have Gun Will Travel series with Richard Boone. This series was before my time as a kid. Friend was telling me nearly every episode had a moral or lesson to it and he rarely used his gun. Paladin was the character's name. OJW is a classic. Great flick. "En devour to persevere. We thought about it for a long time and then we declared war on the union." One of the best lines in movie history. But I think The Unforgiven is the film that really makes your point above. It took all the glamor out of violence. No winners in the end. The legendary lawman was shot while fixing his leaky roof. The bad guy got shot coming out of the outhouse.
you can't watch a John Wayne movie and not feel pride as an American, as a Man(though yours might be in a father or brother.) to see such a standup kind of guy like him.
There was a day in the past where we actually raised young men. Those young men grow up to be gentlemen, showing respect to others, loving husbands and fathers. We’re way passed due to bring change to the future and start raising our sons to grow up and be men again.
This is how you teach children and not with time outs. It is how I was taught and I survived and loved and respected my parents till the day they died.
Very true, but it's worth noting that Cowboys back in the day were known to protect even prostitutes from unwanted advances. Not saying women shouldn't be modest, but it's good to know Cowboys never put a limit on chivalry. Makes them way cooler than today's men if you ask me.
in the last job I had, in an e-mail, I called a co-worker "young lady" twice...I call anyone younger than me, young lady or young man...I was WRITTEN UP for it! I was told, its not "PROPER" to refer to anyone that way. when I turned it and them into the labor board, I was told that while they had heard people being called a lot worse, that in "todays society", its not "proper terminology"...so I replied, if a persons spouse or girlfriend isn't a "young lady", then the opposite is....
I had a similar experience when my father and I were visiting a neighbor, a black farmer. When we departed, my father used the man's given name of Jim and shook his hand, I responded with 'bye Jim. The next thing I was aware of was picking myself up from the ground where my father's kick had sent me with a bruised and painful backside. Dad's instruction to me, on the spot, was that I should refer to ANY adult as Mister, and that Jim would be for life to me, Mr. Davis. I did not have to be told to apologize and correct my farewell to Mr. Davis. I have been careful of how I refer to any adult ever since, this was a lesson I never forgot that made a permanent change in my perception of how to show respect to others. The worst was on the ride home during which time my father expressed to me very firmly his disappointment and shame in my manners. I never forgot that lesson, it also. made me sharply aware of what Dad had to say to me about my personal conduct from that day forward.
Awesome. I introduced my friend to my dad (1973) Dad was working on the Ford Galaxy 500. I introduced Joe, this is my dad Ron. Why I did that I have no idea to this day. Dad...Son, Joe doesn't need to know my first name I'm Mr. Reeves to him and for you you better never introduce me by my first name or ill spank you till you can't stand still. I never did that again.

YOU MADE IT Sound LIKE JOHN WAYNE SAID THAT...why don't. You make title clearer..! Cahill" set young man straight knocked him right off his horse for rudeness to a woman
A movie today would have 12 quick cuts, two slow-motion shots and three close ups to tell the same tale. Movies used to be patient with the story, let it travel at its own pace.
Funny thing about this clip is the fact that the “squaw” woman is a white woman. Sure, it’s supposed to show Cahill’s gentlemanly stance against racism, but practically no movies back then would actually use indigenous people in them. Pretty ironic.
the Keep America Beautiful 1972 commercial with the ''indian'' crying one tear is actually an Italian actor _ 'Tonto" means " ' asshead''' que no sabe means ''what ? no understand ''
Funny thing about your comment is the fact that John Wayne movies often used actual Indians in major roles, even though there weren't that many of them hanging around central casting waiting to populate all the westerns that were being made back then.
Your right about that and there are far more kids in the past 2 generations that could use some good morals starting with the parents. Thank God for my parents teaching and leading me in the right path.
don't blame the lawmen so much as I blame the hiring system that allows ex-soldiers to become policemen. I've lived in countries that had military police for police...its not a good thing. Lots of them have trama that they never have dealt with or acknowledged...they have violent habits that are hard to curtail when put into situations they were trained and drilled into them to act in a certain way. I'm not shocked when I see how many of them handle the situation, its like a soldier would handle it....because majority of them are ex-soldiers. I feel for ex-soldiers as what do you do with a lean green killin machine when war is over or they can't continue being a soldier...definitely should be placed in a rehab program and given a very peaceful kind of work outdoors. They will slowly then be able to heal from the wounds of war and become less a danger to themselves and others. I hate the way soldiers are treated by the young so much any more. I almost punched a 14 year old kid who spit on a soldier in the airport while we were waiting for the next plane. The guy had to restrain me and kept telling me its ok...he is used to it. I bought the guy a hamburger at the airport McD's...almost got thrown on the banned list. Luckily he had spoken up for me. The parents were a bunch of karen/kens who said their child was free to express his political opinions. I yelled at them that its true, but what their kid did in most states is called assault at the least. I also told them they should be glad that this noble soldier did not rip their kid to pieces for disrespecting him and his uniform. (I've known some marines that would have forcefully flushed him down the latrine for less.)
If y'all liked this clip, take a minute and listen to Roy Feek sing his song entitled A Bible and a Belt. This will certainly go along with this clip. Powerful.
Little punk caved in, deserved to be knocked off his horse. Even if you're wrong...stand by your convictions...don't be easily swayed...but then again, it's just a movie...
