I thought the family's reason for not being involved in the war was because they opposed slavery so they ignored the Union and disagreed with slavery so they ignored the Confederates.
Please check your facts. James Stewart flew missions during WWII. He did not fly any missions in Vietnam, though he did join one bomber mission as an observer.
This is one of my four or five favorite films of all time. I am AMAZED by the scene at the beginning when Anderson gets right in the face of a Confederate press gang and tells them: "These are MY sons! They DON'T belong to the state!"
This was a great film...for a Hollywood movie, it's pretty hard hitting and certainly doesn't cop out with a happy ending. Very moving and atmospheric

Ironic this film was considered anti-war by some when Stewart was a superhawk who personally napalmed Vietnamese women and children.

Another uninformed fool. Stewart flew bomber missions in WWII, he was part of the greatest generation.

He was a racist piece of shit, and he bombed Vietnam in 1966.

I don't have problems with that. 99% of blacks are extreme racists, but it's considered acceptable...

@PeterFirthFan Ironic? A big word from a little cunt like you.
It's fucking ironic that you don't get a fucking job and stop fucking sponging off your parents! You fucking parasite!

Or, how does it go? "The State wasn't here helping us pull those stumps and clearing the land! Why do we have to help the State now?"
