Default Anyone seen "Flight 93" yet?

To razz "Saving Private Ryan" because of a couple of minor nits, while
missing the depth and breadth of the effort, seems silly to me. I
found it moving and, in many ways, deeply disturbing to watch -- and it
truly made me appreciate my father's generation.


Would it be safe to guess that you never went through basic training?


Yep. I missed Viet Nam by three years.

(Not just a *few* nits, either. Suffused with 'em! It was all nit!)


Well, okay, soldiers wouldn't have worn their rank on their helmets in
the front lines. And they wouldn't have kept their M-1s if something
better had become available (and sufficient ammo found). What else
did you spot in SPR?

I've been told that the battle scenes capture the real thing better
than anything ever filmed. No?
