Perhaps what really irritated Art was that Tom Hanks was a 1990s
character suffering all the 1990s hangups, magically transported back
to 1944. He wasn't even my contemporary, never mind Art's. The things
that weighed on his soul just wouldn't have weighed on the soul of
that 1940s captain who'd gone through the Great Depression and the
years leading up to Omaha Beach.

I looked at the whole squad and flashed back to Lee Marvin in "The Dirty
Dozen". He was two years older than Hanks when he made that and he looked
like
he could have taken on the whole bunch singlehanded.

Well yes but Lee Marvin was a US marine who saw action
in the Pacific and was wounded during the invasion of Saipan.
