How come every person outside the USA thinks that we learn our history from Hollywood? That wars happened EXACTLY the way the were depicted in Pearl Harbor, Platoon, Saving Private Ryan, Patton, The Big Red One, Tora, Tora, Tora, All Quiet on the Western Front, The Patriot, Glory, Three Kings, etc..
Most of us have a grandfather, uncle, cousin, or some other family member or friend that fought in a war. We have access to libraries full of books that were not written by CNN, NBC, ABC, or CBS. We are smart enough to know the difference between reality and escapism.
BTW.. We also know that Jurassic Park and Godzilla were not real. Give us some credit.
