[Milsurplus] Is Fiction Garbage ?

[Hue Miller]

So I bought this movie at Safeway for $6.99, "Battle of the Bulge", which 
taught me again
the proof of "you get what you pay for", and reinforced my suspicion of 
fiction works, like
a well grounded suspicion of packaged fish at its pull date. Without going 
into the many
ahistorical equipments in the movie, or the absurd subplots, or inane 
scenes, I summarize:
truly EXECRABLE. I can understand a person up to maybe age 16-18 being 
thrilled by the
movie, but: if over about 18 years old, how dumb would one have to be, to 
enjoy this?
And for the gullible, how many points would watching it, subtract from one's 
IQ ?  The
screenwriters, do they really not live among actual real people, and can't 
imagine how
real people react in the face of real danger?
Actually, I did get almost $6.00 worth of value from it: by selecting the 
Spanish subtitles,
I am able to learn many useful colloquial phrases. Ignore the action on the 
screen.
