Green Berets

[Johnny Canuck3]

BTW, I think the canuck meant "police" in terms of N.I. being perceived by Whitehall as what is euphemistically termed a "police/policing action", rather than the more realistic term "guerrilla war".

That's correct.

BTW, I'd somehow missed the fact that you had been a british soldier, prior to your talking about it on this thread.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

good ernie is such a cock, i mean it's not the winding up that bothers me, it's the completely shit way in which he does it, the guys a cretin.

As are you Red Jism.

Speaking of the FAQ, you aren't supposed to fuck around with people's monikers like that.

 

[Streathamite]

...damn right, which is why I've reported the ill mannered little pleb

 

[revol68]

oh sorry it must have been another one of my terrible typo's, you know how us illiterate peasants can be, Red Jizza.

[revol68]

1; as you would know if you had bothered to do the most basic, cursory research - you would know that not only am I NOT a swappie, I have ALWAYS criticised them.
2; seeing as you are an illiterate ignoramus who cannot be bothered to even read THIS thread, let me spell it out for you AGAIN, in nice bold letters

the only reason why I haven't responded to your other shit is because I am normally far too busy to bother with work to bother with the illiterate dribblings of some mentally incoherent, prepubescent teenage anarcho-squirt.

Aask mummy to explain it to you.
And although swhe has failed 100% with you so far - she could also do you the favour of launching into endless, incoherent, potty-mouthed diatribes at anyone and everyone you disagree with is neither 'big' nor 'clever'.
It merely shows you for what you are; a pathetic, posturing, squeaking little schoolboy.
run along now, nearly your bed time....

 

[revol68]

no your not a swappie but you have a political analysis that is on par with your average swp paper seller.

your just another poseur leftist, no critical thought required.

 

[Streathamite]

whereas someone like you whose every post is the usual tedious,illiterate, incoherent, demented gibberings is clearly the Chomsky

de nos jours

your just another poseur leftist,

and you of course, are the only genuine leftist on U75 because you can, ooh, swear at people LOADS!

no critical thought required

you KNOW what 'critical thought' is, when you can barely string together a correct sentence together? Yeah. Sure.
Are they all as ignorant as you in whatever midden you crawled out of?
Pathetic.
run along, tarquin, mummy has your tea ready in the nursery....

 

[revol68]

insults are one thing but accussing me of being named tarquin is something fucking else.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Probably something more like Benjy or Jack, eh?

Tell me, are you somewhat swarthy?

 

[Andy the Don]

absinthe was (almost certainly) ernie

Nah, say what you lake about Ernie, the stalinist fool, but the man had a certain panache & style, this fella absinthe is just a A1 cock..

 

[editor]

As are you Red Jism.

Stop that. Now, please.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Hey, newbie twats aren't allowed to treat Red this way, just us long term rednecks...

 

[Streathamite]

strange, everyone seemed dead sure....not saying you're wrong though

 

[nino_savatte]

From the commie terroists in South veitnam i bet.

The French Foreign Legion, The SAS and a couple of others would wipe the floor with their sorry flabby butts.

 

[nino_savatte]

Only by commies.

It was and is quite populare around here.

Peebs, you wouldn't understand a piece of crude propaganda if it hit you in the face. The Green Berets(1968) was just that. Just to add: it was badly written, poorly directed and will never be considered a cinematic masterpiece.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063035/

It follows in the same vein from Wayne's other work, Big Jim McLain (1952), which is another piece of crude propaganda set in Hawaii (presumably as an excuse for the Duke to get a bit of sun and sand at the studio's expense). It's a clumsy, clunking film that has the barest of narratives. The film was simply the mouthpiece of the HUAC and Wayne was one of its biggest supporters

I know you won't understand half the words in this post and you are likely to reply with the word "commie" and will try to defend these films aesthetic-political values, but you're on to a loser.

 

[Wess]

Incidentally, can anyone update me on how the war on terrorism is going?

Not to good.
They still haven't found Osama and Iraq is still going strong...In fact it's (terrorism) risen quite a bit since the chimp started fucking about.
read about it here..


I hate to gloat ( ) ... BUT, watching the Bush administration fall apart and wallow in it's own filth is one of my favourite pastimes.

I'm sure the next administration will be much better at hiding its filth.

 

[monkeyhead]

The thing I like about this is the heroic military role John 'draft dodger' Wayne took on. Posing about in Military uniform while a whole generation did it for real the other side of the world. Now there's a hero!

maybe George Bush took him as a role model.....

 

[Poi E]

Hey man, it had Sulu in it, so not all bad. He must have had a pink beret.

He wasn't a draft dogger, that low rent commie propganda.

I think you'll find, peebs, that for all the patriotic posturing and macho chest beating, John Wayne NEVER served so much as a SINGLE DAY in the US armed forces.

NOT ONE.

Unlike other stars of the day such as James Stewart and Clark Gable, both of whom had quite decent service records. In the US Air Force if memory serves.

So now, if an actor didn't previously serve in the armed forces, he can't play one on tv?

I didn't say that, and you know it.

I just don't like the idea of someone making a number of movies extolling the virtues of going to war, while having no intention of risking a bullet themselves.

Wayne was a chickenhawk. He had no intention of going into the front line himself, while other Hollywood actors did go into the front line and risked their lives doing so. He did, on the other hand, have every intention of encouraging others to sign up, while he sat at home making a pretty good living out of it all.

Shades of 'Over the top, lads. I'm right behind you (but at a very safe distance)' spring to mind.

TRy reading the link next time.

He didn't dodge the draft.

They wanted him to make patriotic movies.

So thats what he did.

If they told him they wanted him to drive a tank, he would have done that.

To be a draft dodger he would have had to run to canada, or fake a medical problem..............

So take your low rent commie propganda, and shove it.

WTF do you know about his intentions?

Did you speak to him before he died?

Take your low rent commie propganda, and stick it.

 

[pbman]

Bob hope also never served.

YOu going to call him a draft dodger as well?

ROFLMAO

Wayne was a fucking chickenhawk. Poncing about playing a soldier when he was too much of a pussy to actually go and fight like most of his contemporaries expected him. Big fucking chickenhawk pussy like yourself peebs.

 

[phildwyer]

Of course John Wayne would have lumbered along to the front line if his masters had told him to. He wasn't exactly Brain of the Century, was he?
