| | The Green Berets (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) |
 | | Ray Kellogg and John Wayne's 1968 movie The Green Berets opens with a press conference hosted by the Green Berets themselves, as they attempt to answer the snippy questions of skeptical reporters as to why we are fighting in Vietnam. |
 | | The film, of course, is an unintentionally humorous, thin, and messy shell for anti-communist sentiments, and it was in fact overseen by top government officials proving that not everyone, if they just put his or her mind to it, can write. |
 | | Other than that, we can only assume that The Green Berets, with all its pro-war and anti-communist sentiments and excessive violence was just what the government wanted it to be, as they undeniably had a hand in the production. |
