Title: The $64 Question,...1949 Movie Battleground Famous Scene(s), Lest We Forget
Post by: twyacht on February 29, 2012, 06:31:58 PM

Since the Chaplains in our modern military, and "Holy Joe's" have been ordered to "adjust" their sermons, "adjust" their beliefs, adjust their "tolerance" of a "new" diversity,....

The TCM Network, was showing the 1949 Movie, Battleground,....A movie about The Battle Of The Bastogne. Great WWII weapon porn in this movie.

My how times have changed.... :'(

NUTS!!!!!!

You realize I hope, the movie was made in 1949, the war had been over 5 years.
He wasn't talking about the need to resist the Nazi's, they were gone, he was talking about the Communists.
People that watched it back then understood that part, their mistake was thinking that meant the Russians when in fact the real threat came from our own Red Quisling's.

Yes, . however, the baseline was that the Holy Joe's talked, counseled, and aided soldiers in the premise of Faith, regardless of specific denomination.

Jews prayed with Catholics, Methodists sought comfort with Presbyterians. etc,.....Between the modern culture of Hollywood, and the steady Lib removal of God from everything they can, all this scene demonstrated was a fundamental belief in a God that whoever the Chaplain of the cloth was, transcended all faiths....and offered something of comfort, that most troops rallied around.

I know I'm just a mauler pronounced Zionist,...but back than,,,,God was where you found Him,....doctrine didn't matter,,,,,we find our peace, and in their case justification, to get the enemy....The stakes were too high, the consequences to great, to do nothing.

Now we have a PC message lost from its original intent.
