Letters from Iwo

watched the dvd last night, what do you think?

It was ok IMHO. I though Flags was pretty lousy, this was better but I feel it missed some of the key points from the Japanese side. I think Band of Bros ruined every other war movie for me, I dont know how you can top it. I think the pacific war should get a lot more attention but noone has really done it a great job on it. Not belittling the WWII efforts in Eurpoe,but wagin war on tropical islands, malaria, snakes, stifling heat and a suicidal enemy that ignored all conventional war practices is something that doenst get enough attention. My Dad was a marine and I knew about Iwo Jima when I was @ 5yrs old.

making s-b.com a kinder, gentler place for all
