Flags of Our Fathers
|
IMDB rating: 7.20 Plot: In February, 1945, one of the fiercest battles of the Pacific theater of World War II occurs on the tiny island of Iwo Jima. Thousands of Marines attack the stronghold maintained by thousands of Japanese, and the slaughter on both sides is horrific. Early in the battle, an American flag is raised atop the high point, Mount Suribachi, and a photograph of the raising becomes an American cause celebre. As a powerful inspiration to war-sick Americans, the photo becomes a symbol of the Allied cause. The three surviving flag raisers, Rene Gagnon, John Bradley, and Ira Hayes, are whisked back to civilization to help raise funds for the war effort. But the accolades for heroism heaped upon the three men are at odds with their own personal realizations that thousands of real heroes lie dead on Iwo Jima, and that their own contributions to the fight are only symbolic and not deserving of the singling out they are experiencing. Each of the three must come to terms with the honors, exploitation, and grief that they face simply for being in a photograph. |

Have you been able to figure out what Flags of Our Fathers has done to improve America? If so, what?
He knows American History. Buchanan allowed States to secede from Northern Tyranny which was not illegal at the time. Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus and started an Illegal War that got 623,000 Americans killed. Libs whined like hell when Bush suspended Habeas Corpus to keep Terrorists held indefinitely.
Who is the real bad guy here? Abe Lincoln is the biggest War Criminal the USA has ever elected.
He ran Concentration Camps in the USA, the worst being Camp Douglas in Chicago (big surprise), Boston, and Elmira, NY, killing thousands of Americans who were fighting for the Constitution. Just because the North won doesn’t make them right. Immigrants were mustered into the Union Army as they stepped off the ship. The North had a greater population than the South to begin with. Guards at Camp Douglas were ordered to shoot any Black who fought for the South on sight.
You don’t know History or who was right when it comes to our Civil War. I am a registered Republican but vote for the most Conservative candidate.
The only reason the South did not win was because of two mistakes made at Gettysburg. Even though the South was greatly outnumbered they came that close. Don’t try us again.
The only problem I have with Flags of our Fathers is that one of the Flags is a 50 Star Flag. If he can find it I would suggest a Confederate Flag and a Betsy Ross Flag. Those are the true Flags of our Fathers. Those are the Flags I have flying outside my house and they will remain there until Obama is out of office.

Well, Flags obviously irritates the heck out of you. I’d say that’s a positive.

I don’t know what he does in real life but it is always good for a laugh watching you libs have a hissy fit about him.

And what have you done? thought so

What have any of us on here done to improve America??
I don’t agree with Flags of Our Fathers 99 out of 100 times, but I am not on here to change or improve anything - I am on here for entertainment and to debate others.

His lost, incoherent, bitter but so impotent rants are a reminder tp kids they need to stay in school and stay off drugs - so they don’t end up like him.

Waste his time on Y!A like the rest of us idiots. That way we’re not spreading our rhetoric on the streets like total morons.
Your Conscious | Nov 17, 2009
Nothing but rant & whine about obama
EL Prettyboy | Nov 17, 2009
Every time people like him open their mouth it makes it that much easier to win the White House in 2012.
Paul | Nov 17, 2009
He’s an American who’s willing to voice his opinion. I don’t agree with his opinion most of the time. But at least he’s willing to exercise his right to free speech. It seems like anymore Americans are expected to just sit idly by and let the politicos do the thinking for us.
