Re: Best post WWII Military Films

I think it was not so much that the female sniper was killed (or even that she was female), actually I think she was in extreme pain from her wounds, did she asked to be killed? Anyway, the big deal...

Re: Best post WWII Military Films

I hate and really detest 'Braveheart' and 'The Patriot' two of the most hugely historically inaccurate films ever made anywhere. I liked 'We Were Soldiers' and 'Apocalypto'. I thought the truly vile...

'Full Metal Jacket' (1987) Excellent film. Real USMC Gunnery Sgt. Some fairly good skirmishing/fire and movement. Only thing that annoyed me was they made some big deal about killing the female enemy...

Re: Best WWII Films

'Letters from Iwo Jima' (2006) Japanese side of the Iwo Jima battle. A better film, in my view, than 'Flags of our Fathers' (2006) although that is certainly worth a watch too.

Re: Best post WWII Military Films

My idea of 'Good' tends to be reasonably accurate in a military sense, since anything else just annoys the hell out of me.

The problem with 'The Hurt Locker' is that (leaving aside some stuff that...

Re: Cluster Munitions after CCM?

Not sure if the same applies to cluster munitions. Cluster Bombs were taken out of RAF service in 2008 but as of 2012 UK still had stocks that had not been destroyed.

In general terms arms control...

Re: Cluster Munitions after CCM?

As I pointed out earlier, with sources, UK has not destroyed all its mine stocks of any type and has retained some for use "in exceptional" circumstances", ie, a major war.

If mines are pulled...
