This is before NBC Today Show became a show with a liberal agenda. It's sad, very sad.

all 3 networks have liberal agendas. I miss the old days, before all this political correctness.

@WarriorPoet01 P.S. - I meant to say ".......was on a destroyer tender (the Dobbin AD-3) in the middle of the harbor DURING the attack on Pearl Harbor." Like most vets, he didn't say much about that day when I asked him about it.

@DPGmaximus For me, personally, the 2001 Pearl Harbor was a disgrace. Zeros were zipping around like TIE fighters in Star Wars. Tora Tora Tora looks a LOT more realistic (despite the dated acting/dialog), IMO. As a History major, I had high hopes for the 2001 version - esp since my granddad was on a destroyer tender (the Dobbin AD-3).........and I was hoping to see something stirring. Oh, well.

@BlackSheep0ne I loved Flyboys lol. Yea, I hear you though. I would love to see it more realistic myself. I just love to watch great old planes from WWI and WWII in the movies I guess. :)
