My Religion is Coward

Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.

For veterans Day a regular Lew Rockwell (www.lewrockwell.com) contributor published a list of his favorite anti-war films. I disagreed with most of it because, as I have said before, I thnk that whatever you put on screen, no matter how grim, you promote. When a film such as "Platoon" is released, enlistment figures do not fall; they rise.

There was one entry that caught my attention though: The Americanization of Emily - a 1964 Arthur Hiller film starring James Garner (one of my faves) and Julie Andrews. I recall seeing and liking the film many years ago but it seems I forgot one truly amazing scene. It is an anti-war diatribe unlike any other that I have seen in a film before or since. On viewing it again I am honestly shocked that bald sanity such as this ever made its way into a Hollywood feature.
