Ah, yes. "Your Country". Another foreigner (to us) and another America hater. No more words are needed. But you should openly disclose what you are BEFORE you write critiques lest people get fooled into thinking that you know what you are talking about..

"need I remind you of the chemical weapons used in Vietnam that left half a million babies deformed and another half a million people dead?"
Looks like you might be referring to Agent Orange. If you think that is a "chemical weapon", you don't understand what chemical weapons ARE. Swallowing anti-American propaganda is no way to actually LEARN the truth.
"My Lai massacre?"
That wasn't done by the United States. It was done by some soldiers who happened to be American. If you can't understand the difference you shouldn't be trying to discuss the subject. It's over your head.
"USS Vincenes shot down an airline killing all 290 people on board."
Your lack of comprehension just reveals that you swallow propaganda instead of learning the truth and thinking for yourself. That might be good enough for you if all you want to do is attack America, but you shouldn't be surprised when somebody calls you on your BS. -

You know that the US is just as brutal
A median range estimate of the people murdered by Communists in the twentieth century is about 92 million people. A good third of that was done or encouraged by the Soviet Union.
need I remind you of the chemical weapons used in Vietnam that left half a million babies deformed and another half a million people dead?
And a similar number of American soldiers affected as well. Compare the use of chemical defoliants, though, with the deliberate use of poison gas against civilians in Afghanistan.
What about Project Phoenix?
What about it? Enemy combatants are always legitimate targets in wartime.
My Lai massacre?
An acknowledged crime. Similar things were done as a matter of policy by the Soviets fighting partisans in Eastern Europe and Afghanistan. Indeed, they were done by the Soviet's allies in Vietnam on a very much larger scale. When the Communists do it, the perpetrators get promoted, not punished.
USS Vincenes shot down an airline killing all 290 people on board.
The Soviets shot down more than one airliner, and they didn't have the excuse that they were under fire at the time. -

"The US shared the same grey spectrum as the Soviet Union did, to think otherwise is to live in a dream world of Hollywood,"
They did? How many Americans were shot trying to escape the US? How many got caught in the barbed wire trying to sneak across the border escaping the US? -

The Soviets targeted Colorado due to its strategic, central location in the United States. Remember in the movie the Soviets invaded elsewhere in the country. They couldn't just invade on the East and West Coasts. They had to secure the interior U.S. as well.

So..anyway back to the movie.. I actually really enjoyed the movie because me and my cousin had just got done reading the book series. The Day the War Began. If I remember correctly and this movie I felt showed the whole idea of what if this were to truly happen? You would be confused, scared unsure of what to do! Thats wht this movie is aout not any of the little details. Holy beep who cares about all the little things its about the spirit of these americans trying to keep themselves alive!

Ha ha ha ha ha !!! I'm with you on that. I wish I could read all the offensive comments rather than have them censored. Deleting posts like this only protects the poster from further exposure of his own ignorance.

To further expand on point two Nobody would be complaining about the "teenagers are guerillas" aspect of this film if it were about WWII resistance fighters or the Vietcong or the Afghan mujahedeen or child soldiers in Africa. I really don't understand why so many people bitch about this point.
Also, Jed and Matt at least are hunters and have experience with firearms. Not so farfetched that they'd be at least competent with weapons.

Why would the Russians attack a nothing town in Colorado and how did they get there in the first place?
It's a tactical move and a fairly smart one at that. By coming up from the South through the center of the country they can easily and quickly send troops to the East while gaining a foothold. This can provide them with instant food supplies from the Midwest and (if successful) control over certain military installations including missile silos. An invading force of that size needs to be fed and states like Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa have significant agricultural importance.
Plus it's closer to the French Canadians who aren't likely to cause much of a fuss
You wanna know what's under that bush? Nothin' but a pair of sick joker lips!

I enjoyed "Red Dawn". I saw first saw it back in the '80s when some people were worried about a war with the USSR. It seems like that was a thousand years ago.
Please try to remember it was a MOVIE. And try to get your facts straight. I know this is just an imdb message board. But anything worth doing is worth doing right.
