Lost patriots of Hollywood

Michelle Malkin mourns “The lost patriots of Hollywood.” On her blog Michelle invites readers to leave comments on a trial basis about their favorite WWII flicks and scenes. Mine: Sam Fuller’s autobiographical “The Big Red One,” starring Lee Marvin. Michelle’s: the hanging scene at the school in “Back to Bataan” — “watched the movie when I was 8. Still get choked up thinking about the principal’s body and the American flag.”
HINDROCKET adds: Here is Michelle’s bottom line: “Box-office patriotism is dead. And so I ask: If Hollywood refuses to support America, why should we support Hollywood?” To which I say, Amen. Stay home. These bozos are nothing without our money. So don’t give it to them.
