“Tora Tora Tora” was a good film, combat sequences were well done."Midway", well, it was OK< kinda cheezy love story got in the way, but Charleton Heston is Da Man!Another early Steve McQueen flick is "The War Lover", as a psychopath bomber pilot, with a very young Robert Wagner as his co-pilot and rival."Casablanca" is just timeless. the 2 DVD set is worth the extra $$.I watched "Saving Private Ryan", but it's too much to watch twice. Still a great movie.
Dr Richard Attenbourough (sp), the bullet headed guy with no neck who is always on the Military Channel playing with cool old weapons. He's got the dream job IMHO, plus his hair always looks great 😉
basicially WWI up to the end of Vietnam. Very interesting times in US society, from the Wright Flyer to the Apollo 11, from Temperance to Free Love. And everything in between ;D
I would have to say the Tet Offensive was a turning point in history. While a US military victory, it was precieved as a loss, and public support for the war in Vietnam started to really sour. Without this “win”, the North Vietnamese would have had a much longer war, if they won at all.
