You are a scary twisted person - associating patriotism with war. Is that how simple minded you are? Good versus evil fight? Do you really believe that's what war is about and that one side has to be evil? If you can justify the war on Iraq and Afghanistan then you are seriously mental. It really sounds like you know nothing and are a raging nationalistic war monger.

Contrary to popular belief, WWII propaganda posters didn't represent ,,enemies'' in the most accurate way..It is time you grasp that.
There is no good and bad in war, only bad and worse.
To be honest, while there was an abundance of bad portrayals of Germans and Japanese, demonizing them beyond their actual responsibilitymodern cinema lacks, except few cases (always censored by US Army, Navy or whoever is responsible for it), in accurate portrayal of Allied forces.
Russians were more hated in Europe than Germans, because of the things they did to same civilians they were ,,saving''.
US soldiers also had their share of violence and brutality..The stress they sustained could bring the best in them. After all, US threw two A Bombs on two Japanese townsCasualty rate of those two attacks alone, hours in total, come close, or even tops half of total US casualties in WWII. And New York celebrated that???
So don't bother with good guys story. It's war. It's our interest against theirs. Our politics against theirs. Us and Soviets could as well be Hitlers allies (Soviets actually were), if only few political moves were played a bit differently.
True victims of every war are people. -

I think NY was celebrating that the war was FKKING OVER! And now everyone can stop dying & come home. -

Because its progressive PC Spielberg and his boy goy Hanks
Spielberg sees the world thru this culture is relative prism
You should see the WWII MUSUEM in the CBD in New Orleans
Great site but PC as hell with half a floor dedicated to racismmostly ours
I'm like really Stephen.who never fought.you couldn't just give the 350000 dead boys some slack over being a product of their time and using inflammatory language about the enemy
A fanatic ruthless foe
Spielberg is smarmy and too high and mightycommercial eye for the camera
But just another blame America libtard -

Best war movies ever made were the ones made during the actual war. We had a clear objective (win the war and get home) and we knew what had to be done. Destination Tokyo, Bataan, Wake Island, Air Force, etc. were all excellent war time films that took place in the Pacific. They may not have been accurate historically, but they told a very good story and helped keep up morale for the war effort.
Conquer your fear, and I promise you, you will conquer death. -

Calling them "Tojo and F#%* Face" and referring to them as "slant-eyed" hardly qualifies as PC.
I also suggest that your analysis shows you need to read more history. I recommend "At Dawn We Slept" by Gordon Prange, Donald Goldstein and Katherine Dillon. It's as good as it gets. You will discover that the mechanics of the situation were not as simple as you would like to believe.
