Saving Private Ryan flaws

[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

Mike, I have but two things to say.

(1) I have nothing but praise to give to your Armed Forces' personnel. I'm betting I know know more of them PERSONALLY than you do, including WW2 vets.

(2) "Books don't cut it"? How the hell you you think humanity progressed to where it is now? I have news for you: Books.

Your degradation of others' accomplishments and sacrifices in trying times is despicable, especially considering there was no reason for it. The topic was simply was what is perceived as a flawed movie by a Hollywood actor, one already acknowledged - here - to have modified his pespective in his next great project.

SIR, your position is indefensible. That fact has been noted by many in private communications, including some of your countrymen who strangely don't seem to share your one-sided viewpoint. You have already demonstrated your ignorance of our contribution to WW2; don't take it further by comments like suggesting we had ONE regiment in combat. If you read "books", or even other topics in MLU, you would know otherwise.

Be advised, you are on watch.

SUNRAY SENDS AND ENDS

Seems you need sum movies made of your Canadin Miltary on D-Day, Books don't cut it. All I heard of the Brits and Canadians is that they had a field day on Juno and Sword, That's coming from my Great Uncle as he was in the Guards Armoured DIV (Coldstreamers) witch landed in Normandy and Storys from old RNF lad's(50th Div) who live hear in the States, you know the sad part about it is that they ask "why them not me" living a good full life. THe only canadian Regt I know of is the the North Nova Scotia Hiighanders"Origanels". and the people in the Northeast of USA,like in New England think of Nova Scotia, as part of thier own. So Geoff I wasent trying to Down play your Military in WW2 , just Practice what you Preach mate. Cheers

Just my opinion from the heart
