    Back on the subject. I don't like T.C. and I will not pay to see any movie whose actors contribute part of their income to support Scientology

    I try my best to judge others by their talent, and what they produce rather than their religious beliefs...It doesn't always work though......Ben

    Isn’t Cruz a bit long in the tooth to play a hot shot Navy jet pilot? Oh well, Hollywood can disguise a lot of shortcomings (no pun intended), as Cruz’ casting as the burly & brawling 6’4” Reacher proved. I even liked those two movies.

    I think he plays the commander of the SFTI school in this one, the same role that Tom Skerritt had in the original movie......Ben

    That makes better sense. I’ll probably be interested in seeing it once it is streamed.

    I like fictional armed services movies. The realistic ones remind all to well of the horror our service men have faced showing what a living hell war is. Godspeed to the folks that are sacrificing so that our politicians have the right to lie, cheat and steal from the
    American public.

    More from the deck of CV-8...Since my speakers went Democrat and refused to work for the common good, I have discovered that watching footage like this without sound is downright spooky...Especially at about 0:42 where the hatch is jammed partially with what appears to be a peacoat...Maybe it's spoken of in the video, but I don't know......Ben

    Once that tractor, if that tractor were to be pulled out of the deep it would probably take a week for it to end up a sweepable pile of rust.

    Amen my friend! I don't know why I read as much as I do about wars but I do, I guess it's good my memory is gone. What our fathers and grandfathers went through was horrible and we wonder why they never talked about it. It makes me want to cry and I wasn't there. God Bless the men who fought and died for us!
