Has anyone been watching the "Band of Brothers" on History?
Edited on Tue Apr-20-04 01:21 AM by Momof1
I watched it originally on HBO before...

This is the 2nd time I watched it, ....
I am at a loss for words, for the bravery, and skill of the 101st Airborne.

That movie, is so damn good. Hanks/Speilberg really did a great job with the Documentary.

1. My wife has been glued to it

I have watched a lot of it with her.I thought the part where they made the townspeople go out and bury the dead etc. at the concentration camp was great. All of a sudden they were saying "not me,I'm not a Nazi." Too bad,go clean it up. I can think of a group of people like that in this country that ought to have to clean up the mess they have participated in.

3. I know exactly what you mean
It was such a great story, I wonder why no one else tried to tell the story. That was just awesome. ...again...lol.

No one will clean up the messes now, forget it. They still won't even freely admit there were no WMD's.

Don't hold your breath. On waiting for a "clean up"

4. I know what you mean

these punks would expect any "clean up" to be done for 25 cents an hour anyway.
