	The War Lover - TIME
		War Hunt is about a war lover, a man for whom war is not hell but home.
		War Hunt is an astringent, understated film in which the subtle interplay of surface and substance produces an ambiguity of multiple meanings.
		John Saxon is excellent as the war lover, and Robert Redford digs beneath his own blond good looks to mine compellingly into the nature of goodness itself.

	The War Lover and the Greatest War
		The last war on earth will either be a cause for celebration--or signal the likely extinction of that super race of mammals formerly known as "Man." (Some say the world will end before that happens, on December 21.
		This war we are involved in now is un-winnable and I suspect that it is planned as such.
		Nuke war fallout will last 600 years (give or take three centuries) and so much abandoned equipment will dot the poisoned landscape—after all, we’re all downwind in a global war--that the remaining few scattered survivors may not have the expertise or ambition to use it.

	THE INFINITE WAR AND ITS ROOTS
		While we can mount moral resistance to the war, if we fail to critically engage the real causes of it, we cannot mount an effective political resistance, which has to be an effective response to the motive forces behind the war.
		And the current administration is opting for war, a very expensive war, for the purpose of extending and consolidating that hegemony, which will further strain the U.S. domestic economy.
		Some of these capitalists understand that what is taking shape is the military occupation of the world's major oil fields, in the face of fierce resistance from the masses in those states, and they further understand that this is the best way to ensure permanent loss of access to this critical commodity for good.

	William Graham Sumner on War and Peace by Murray Polner
		After the peace treaty ending the Spanish American War was signed in 1898, transforming the Caribbean into an American lake, Sumner was unimpressed.
		He and other anti-imperialists were denounced in the 1900 Republican platform as "copperheads," much as pre-Iraq War extremists tended to label antiwar critics as virtual traitors.
		Teddy Roosevelt, the war lover, once called him a liar to which the imperturbable Sumner replied caustically that if he ever voted for T.R., "I shall be disgraced forever." Then there was the arch-imperialist and premature neoconservative Senator Albert Beveridge of Indiana who thundered at the turn of the 20

		WELLFLEET -- For an avowed commitment-phobe who professes to loathe love, Captain Hepburn, a Scottish officer stationed in Germany in the wake of World War I, certainly manages to sustain his fair share of romantic attachments.
		At the outset of "The Captain's Doll," nimbly adapted from a 1921 D.H. Lawrence story by Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater cofounder Jeff Zinn, the Captain (Stephen Russell) is dallying with the displaced German countess Hannele (Nicole Halmos) in an attic love nest above her needlecraft shop.

		If not for the war Rickson quickly would have wound up dead or in prison in no time flat, but in war he can (figuratively) get away with murder and still earn medals and enjoy the admiration of his crew.
		The War Lover was essentially a British film, despite McQueen and Wagner in the leading roles, and even a few British actors, such as Michael Crawford (his screen debut), turn up playing American soldiers.
		The War Lover is offered both 16:9 enhanced widescreen (1.85:1) and full frame, with both transfers on the same side of the disc.

	The War Lover by Clyde Wilson
		That war was an immense event, occupying a huge area and involving several million people, and one can snip quotations to provide examples of anything one wants to find.
		The simple and ought-to-be-obvious truth is that the Confederate army, an extended network of kinsmen, neighbors, and friends fighting the invaders of their country and the threateners of their freedom, much more resembled Hanson's ideal citizen soldiers than did the forces of the federal government.
		Thirty years after the war the American public was outraged by the newspaper accounts of of the methods of the Spanish General "Butcher" Weyler in Cuba.

		The look and feel of this film reeks of authenticity-- how many other war movies show a planes machine guns being test-fired on the way to a bombing mission.
		At the end, the B-17 is almost impossible to control and you can almost feel the plane bucking and vibrating as it gradually disintegrates.
		Comment: This is one of my favorite films and is a valuable addition to any collection of war genre movies, or any other collection for that matter.

		This is where the Imperial War Museum keeps its bigger aeroplanes, among them a B52 and a Concorde — but these are mere crowd-pleasers.

		It was doing its job, in a war that Glancey contrasts repeatedly with later ones as just, right and moral, “fighting the forces of darkness”.
