Hollywood vs. the Troops; Pt. infinity

Jonah Goldberg has a powerful column over on USA Today. An excerpt:

We’ve all heard the stories, many true, some apocryphal, of soldiers returning home from Vietnam only to be disrespected and shunned by an ungrateful nation. How many were called war criminals or spat upon is as controversial as it is unknowable. But there’s one thing we know our troops never experienced. We never filled the movie theaters during wartime with films calling them war criminals, rapists and, figuratively, spitting on them or on their mission.

Not so today.

Read the whole thing.
