Yes, if you don't like the movie, or movies involving us "Big Bad War-Mongering Americans" in it, don't go see them. The fact of the matter is I to, as with many others from the Allied nations lost grandparents and parents. One of my grandfathers was killed at sea by a kamikazi attack on his ship, another died on D-Day, and I am sure it was not a very pretty death at all. Sorry you are sensitive to movies portraying our victory, but I get a little worked up when I see the footage of what the Germans did to those poor Jews in the camps, and the horrible experiments they caught on film. Sure we are all good buddies now, but movies like this serve another purpose, not to nessisicarly teach the exact events, but for those who were not there to remember. If you don't learn from the past, you are doomed to repeat it. To all the veterns on both sides of the battlefield, remember the fallen, and know that you are respected and adored.
