And for what? Conspiracy Theorists from the Past

Dana Andrews serves a fistful of lunch to a misguided self-righteous punk.

This video disregards our constitution which is something that every soldier/sailor must defend. A soldier/sailor swares to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. Furthermore, the video depicts a person who was non-violent and excercised his constitutional right of freedom of speech. The sailor and soda jerck committed assault and both should be arrested, behind bars, and a civil suit should be launched against both.

@JamesJPond

Great comment! There is nothing better than folks with a good sense of humor!

[fizmath]

Amazing how Americans were duped into fighting to protect the colonial empires of the French, English and Dutch. Also amazing that they agreed to support the murderous Soviets. Yes, it was all one big lie and most Americans love lies.

My son is typing this for me. I am a Pearl Harbor AND Normandy survivor. To those of of you commenting negativley about MY generation who served during WW2.Know this,I didn't join up to see the horrors of war.,I wasonly 18 .Afterall the combat,all me & my buddies wanted to do was go home alive.After I got back. I realized what we fought for... we fought for YOU, our future children.The US may not be perfect, but I have seen Hitlers world,YOU have NOT thank God! This movie said "Thank you" to us.

[NoMercyfortheGuilty]

I'm a Navy vet too. I appreciate that the guy calling us suckers was just using his freedom of speech. He wasnt punched out for that. It was the fact that he called a vet who lost his hands and made that sacrifice for what he believed in a sucker that got his nose caved in. If I was in that sailor's position I'd have done the same thing. Its besides the point if the government kept things from us Service men/women, We love this country and it's spirit enough to give our lives for it

[WC3POchannel10A]

@hofnerjoe God bless you sir. And thank you for my freedom.

[Thelastminstrel]

The proper lesson of this clip is not about politics, national or international. Its not about conspiricys or diplomatic intrique. Its about the folly of telling a man who has lost a large part of himself, his body or his spirit or both, that it was for nothing. Don't do that, its as stupid now as it was then.

@ArcoFlagellant

It's especially warped and galling that Fred orders the VICTIM of Homer's vicious assault to stand down, then attacks him himself. Fred's unfaithful wife has my sympathy.

Fast-forward a few weeks to Fred and Homer being served papers for battery and losing hundreds in court. Nothing less than they deserve.

[ArcoFlagellant]

@ZIPPTPH77 Yeah, that is what should have happened to the leftist soldier and soda jerk.

[ArcoFlagellant]

@luomio Amen, so very true.

[ArcoFlagellant]

I believe it was the soldiers defending the murdering monsters - those murderers being the Communist - and the anti-war guy at the counter was defending the lives of Americans.

[ArcoFlagellant]

Disgusting leftist pro-war propaganda. People would rather more people die than even consider the possibility that America could enter into a war that we have no business in. The same attitudes persist today and cause death and suffering at home and abroad. Apparently what that guy lost his arms defending was the Soviets, because he certainly didn't believe in freedom.

[WarVideo]

@JamesJPond You are 100% right, this movie was full of subtle hints of cummunist propaganda, Ayn Rand wanted to denounce it in her HUAC testimony as a friendly witness.

[TheChoujinVirus]

@dougalmac54

so true

God bless our brave men and women of the armed forces

@Michellekai79

Always a pleasure to offend one of your persuasion.

[NamVetBuck]

@SuperJoeAnonymous That nutjob was defending monsters that murdered millions of people. If he wanted to insult the honor of the warriors who fought that war , then he's lucky he only got punched once...I'd have beat him sensless for insulting MY honor !

Go back to the sandbox , y'all ain't ready for adult concepts yet !

[NamVetBuck]

@Mises85 The "facts" ? Ya mean socialist propaganda in those days ! As for the nutjob getting smacked, he DESERVED IT ! What is pathetic is the slaughter of millions of people by the Nazis, Fascist Italians, Russian communists, the wholesale murder by the Japs !!! What these men did to defeat those barbarians was heroic. Also pathetic = YOU , for being on the side of the nutjob instead of standing up for those men and the USA...cretin !

[DickieAnginson]

Americans were proud of "our boys" during World War II, and this film depicted that patriotism faithfully. Regardless of why we enter into war and our own opinions about it, we must support the military men and women who are fighting - before, during and after.

[up2space]

that must have gripped your gut in 1947 too bad the movies deceive through emotion.

[Merlin5by5]

WELCOME to the 9/11 Twoof Movement, 60 years ago.

Same old crap as the man at the counter.

[spacepatrolman]

@anghmho your right a judge might have said the punching of ray teal through a display case was provoked maybe not enough for a criminal conviction but enough for a personal injury lawsuit since you need less evidence in a civil case and the superior doctrine of law makes an employer responsible for the actions of his employes

[JamesJPond]

@kerrybush000 You may want to revisit the death penalty in other countries. Life in prison is used in France and in many cases prisoners end up hanging themselves. Life in prison without parole is; in my opinion, a more civilized option to the death penalty. Our current prison population does not exist because there is no death penalty it exists because there is a huge gap between the haves and have not.

[Michellekai79]

@BiffMP5 Yours is a moronic analysis. If you cannot understand the emotions, you're either (1) an absolute idiot, (2) completely lacking in any form of empathy, or (3) denying yourself in order to look "PC".

I think you just want to feel good about yourself. Well, you come off like an asshole.

[kerrybush000]

We have more people imprisoned because the death penalty is pretty much off limits anymore. In other countries they have harsher punishments & those punishments are designed to discourage citizens from doing wrong and despicable acts against humanity. These harsh punishments work because people second guess themselves before they act.

[Sage80]

It's a liberal.

[JamesJPond]

So is that what you teach your children. Anytime somebody expresses an opinion that differs you shove them into the glass case. Thats a bad lesson.

[dougalmac54]

@JamesJPond Spoken like a typical mouthpiece. Who started the conversation? The loudmouth. Who disrespected the veterans? The loudmouth. You're entitled to your opinion, but you have no "right" to try and shove it down people's throats. This clown asked for trouble and got it. These men put their lives on the line so that pompous know-it-all could have the luxury of his mis-informed, smart-aleck "opinion." They already defended the constitution and their country. They did their duty.
