[Milsurplus] Is Fiction Garbage ?

[Hue Miller]

No- the writers missed that swell idea.
Instead, the German scouts call back to HQ using a PRC-6, back to Nazi 
headquarters which somehow
has appropriated a spacious NORAD command center from decades in the future. 
Many scenes have
herds of actors milling about like disoriented buffalo, shouting "Hurry up! 
Get a move on!" at each other.
"Muevese!", en espan~ol.

I admit, this should not surprise me. As others pointed out, what's the 
motive? To re-create the times,
for our understanding and empathy, or to sell tickets as many tickets as 
possible to the carnival?

Probably it's a losing battle, like when I write the New York Times about a 
rap music review, and I point
out that most of artists and fans aren't capable of reading the same review. 
But's it's worthwhile, I suppose,
at least to supply some counterfire.
