[Milsurplus] Worth Watching...no sound needed...but it's there...

[Mark Richards]

The continuity was a bit off.  The second time he emerges from the house 
the "Go Navy" sign is not in the window.  It returns on the next shot 
where the flag goes up again.

The third time he emerges, again the sign is missing.  Looks like those 
shots were done one after another without considering the sign 
placement.  This continues until it's finally corrected.

On the subject of the film, tomorrow is July 4, which is US Independence 
Day, a celebration of America's founding.

America was born through the courageous act whereby the founders of this 
nation stripped themselves of tyranny by violent revolt.  So began an 
"experiment" as it is sometimes called, one in human freedom and dignity 
based on collective values lived out in our Constitution and Bill of 
Rights.  Our revolution is one clear case where protest and war led to 
something constructive.

Tomorrow is not Veteran's day, but worthy to remember that in several 
instances in our short national history were it not for courageous and 
selfless men and women answering the unequivocal call of their nation, 
the remaining freedoms we enjoy might now be memories, erased from the 
national textbooks.

Back then, Americans knew when it is time to answer the call.  Now, they 
know when they've been snookered.

Woe be unto those who waste the heart of our nation on lies; who deceive 
our people; who fail to hold the foundations of America sacred; and who 
ultimately desecrate the sacrifices of those so well represented by the 
depictions of this film.  They will answer not just to us, but to the 
unyielding spirit of Liberty on which our nation will always stand and 
to the souls of those who stepped into the breach to keep us free.

I consider this holiday a time to reflect on the principles upon which 
America was founded, to consider just how far down the hole we've gone, 
to appreciate what remains, and to hope that, collectively, we can save her.
