Think I did this before

But is We Were Soldiers the peak of multicultural liberalism? I've watched it half a dozen times, and the back half screamed libtard. Black guy gets shot, japanese guy gets napalmed, the most important.


Maybe watch it again and see what was forced in.
A very good movie, but of a specific time, when America was America, thanks booma politicians

Overall, I think they did justice as best a hollywood outfit can do, BUT

Well let's see.

SPC Jimmy Nakayama  was killed by friendly napalm during the battle.

And plenty of black, white, brown and yellow soldiers were killed in that battle. If'n you didn't know our military no longer has segregated units or anything

That is a thing that really happened and haunted the author of the book for the rest of his life

I thought it was good, didn't care for the jump backs to the wives in the middle of intense combat scenes, kind of takes you out of the moment.  But I never got liberalism out of it, also highly recommend the book and it's coverage of the other LZ.

Damn.  That’s a tragic story.  

I wonder why he surrendered his 2 LT commision to be an SPC in the regular Army?

No shit.

Read it, OP, "We Were Soldiers Once, & Young".

They did a great job of condensing many important details of the battle at LZ X-ray into a short movie.

I didn't get "liberalism" from the movie.  I think it's a movie every American should watch.

I've watched that movie a hundred times and never ONCE drawn the conclusions you drew. The black guy that gets shot is then rescued by a white guy before they both get killed together...and the Asian guy who gets napalmed gets single-handedly carried to the MEDEVAC by *gasp* a white guy...the movie is about heroism, brotherhood regardless of color, and the unprecedented horrors of war. OP needs to drink less toilet duck.

You are right and wrong, it is a movie about heroism, which is the most important thing, but if you can't see the hidden race and "woke"(for the boomas and gen x in the back) stuff that laid the groundwork for where we are at....

So boiled down, you consider "white guy rescues minority" to be not pre 2010s liberalism? Because it seems like that was all over the place before they buried St. George

This here.  Wokeism wasn’t a thing when the book was written.  It’s just a factual account of a terrible time in history.  Nothing liberal.  Just life.

If you see anything political in this, you really need to work on understanding your world views more:

The only thing that even vaguely smelled of cultural Marxist influence was the laundromat segregation dialog between dependents. Even that reflects the reality of the time.

I understand segregation and it’s effects were historical fact, but those specific lines of script seemed forced.

Important or impactful events happened to Soldiers of various colors because, guess what, the Army was racially integrated at the time. OP is looking for rage bait where none exists.
