I have been corresponding with Joe for about 4 years or so. I think he hit the nail on the head with this statement.

In almost every case," he says, "war is an admission of failure—of leadership, of diplomacy. War is not something you do pre-emptively."

With Joe, I show him respect. He has been there. I am sure he knows the 1,000 yard stare.

IN THE MOVIE, WAS THERE REALLY A HELICOPTER PILOT NAMED SNAKE" IF SO, WHERE CAN ONE READ ABOUT WHAT HE HAS GONE ON TO DO IN HIS LIFE SINCE THEN? SEEMS TO ME THAT IF WHAT THEY HAVE PORTRAYED HIM AS DOING HE SHOULD BE GIVEN HONORABLE MENTION AND THE ONE WHO SAM ELLIOT PLAYED THE ROLE OF, AS HAVING FOUGHT IN SEVERAL BATTLES WITH HAL MOORE.. WONDERFUL MOVIE, SAD, BUT SADDER YET THAT OUR BOYS WERE TREATED SO HORRENDOUSLY, JUST FOR DOING WHAT THEIR COUNTRY ORDERED THEM TO DO. I SAY, GOD BLESS TO ALL OF THEM.
