Interesting.

Interesting in that I can name at least four actors who were each in two of these movies: Mel Gibson, Donal Logue, Sam Elliott and Barry Pepper. Ironic that Logue and Pepper are Canadian-born.

Thank you for this video! Battle scenes from four of the most intense war movies ever made: Cowpens in THE PATRIOT; Pickett's Charge in GETTYSBURG; Omaha Beach in SAVING PRIVATE RYAN; and Ia Drang in WE WERE SOLDIERS. Ironic that the Virginia Militia/National Guard were the "bad guys" at Pickett's Charge and the "good guys" at Omaha Beach, but such are the fortunes of war and history!

@MaeksaNS I love how people like you always leave out the fact that the south were slave owners when you say things like the north was trying to tell people what they could and could not do...as if OWNING a person was somehow not worse.
Yes, the north told the south what they could or could not do...not take away the freedom of others. Oh and BTW, the south was richer than the north so I guess they didnt control the money afterall. Durp.

@MaeksaNS And certainly the modern ruling class are imperialists today. It's not even really debatable that the US ruling class just takes whatever it wants by force.
That, quite obviously, does not mean all "yankees" are imperialists. Plenty of people who are yankees are not part of that ruling class.

@MaeksaNS The Southern states seceded before anything even happened. Absolutely nothing had been done to justify their betrayal. Lincoln was elected in the entirely ordinary course of democratic elections.
And then the secessionists attacked the US at Ft. Sumter, beginning hostilities. Any objective look at the facts (and this view is held by every serious historian) shows the south to be aggressor and entirely in the wrong.

@rdrakken: If you consider today's CEO's "Imperialists", then by that same definition the Union were the "Imperialists" in the civil war. They controlled the money, the government, the guns, and they tried to tell the Southern states what they could and couldn't do. So if you're saying CEO's are so horrible, you're saying you and the rest of your wonderful yankee friends are Imperialists too, and that IS true.

patriot my fav movie
@Lotus2102 We fought against a king and his lords, imperialists, that controlled most of the wealth, land and all the governmental powers.
Remove the titles from the 1700s, apply the new imperialistic titles of today like CEO. No, its not hereditary for the most part (the Waltons and a few others do) but its still imperialism, they control the money, are doing their best to control the land(eminent domain) and are in almost complete control of the government.
GOP = Federalist Party.

@CattleRanche What a misled and naive person you are. I suggest you try reading this thing the rest of the world knows as a book. The Missouri Compromise of 1819 was the the first step towards war, yeah I SAID ***1819***. The next big step was the release of UNCLE TOMS CABIN which sparked a bigger Abolitionist movement which lead directly to BLEEDING KANSAS which you know doubt know jack SHIT about..let alone who John Brown is.
I have no doubt you are an uneducated person AKA Tea Bagger.
