Stanly Kubrick orgie!:)

you're saying every way of fighting a war is acceptable if it leads to victory. I'm saying no.

well thats the point of war isnt it? tahts why the americans lost the vietnam war, we wouldnt fight as dirty and as cowardly as the veitnamese.

you should've never been there in the first place. that would actually mean war AVOIDED...smart eh? smarter than fucking the world up wanting to win wars that's for sure.

actually mah, i agree with you with that one, i think the vietnam war was completely unnecessary, but all im saying is simply if a country isgoing to go to war, tehy should do everything in their power to win it.

BF and Finti are right, Mah. If you are IN a war- and Lord knows that should be avoided as much as possible- then fighting to win is your ONLY option and you must do that in any way possible. Obviously, though, those individuals who commit blatant war crimes should be prosecuted.

Also, while it turned out horiffically, the US did have some good grounds to be in Vietnam and even though they pulled out the demonstration that the US was willing to get involved stopped a lot of other places from acting like North Vietnam did.

But to be honest, the US WAS prepared to fight dirty. Carpet bombing, agent orange, civilian targets, burning down all villages they saw because it was too tiresome to distinguish which were friendly and which were not... they did it all. The US pulled out because of negative public opinion and because they were not prepared to commit to Vietnam like an actual WAR war, rather than just the intervention exercise they were involved in. They could have invaded North Vietnam for real and caused the most almighty slaughter but sanity eventually prevailed.

All of which has ben explored in several very good Vietnam films. Kubrick, of course, had a rather different spin for FMJ- heck, the fights weren't even in the jungle! What sort if Vietnam film is THAT? (Answer- a very good one...)

well they did a little of urban fighting

what the fuck is this to do about Kubrick movies?heheh!!

Lets keep up the gong--hooooo bevhavior!

Keep on pecking them trees wood boy

not all teh fighting was done in the jungles of vietnam, my dad was in name for a good 3 years and he never even entered a jungle. just as much fighting was done in the cities.

I KNOW that! I was actually pointing out that all Vietnam movies concentrate almost exclusively on jungle warfare. Kubrick always hated to do what had already been done.

oh ok. misunderstood 🙂

Then everyone is happy!

nah, it aint!

it is something called common courtesy, you just dont ask questions like that

he doesnt know, he said usually you couldnt even see the enmey so you'd just shoot in the general direction of the bullets that were coming your way, he said he has no real way of knowing if he did or not.
