Which begs the question, why would you want a film like this to be shown
if it is filled with half truths, outright lies and complete
misstatements? Don't you care about the truth? Curiously, where was
your criticism of this very same press that lambasted Limbaigh oner his
comments on ESPN?
You didn't see "Pearl Harbor"?
...or indeed, any other american film about WW2 or based on a historical
event?
That's right, Special Ed, it seems like that's the only movies Greg
sees.
It also seems that's where Procter's problem with facts begin and end.
At any rate, how can one expect Greg to know much about the events
of Pearl Harbor? His nation was hiding under their beds during the whole
pacific war.
New Zealand was also hosting US forces. Yanks charmed their women and
drank all their liquor. Procter's father is probably a yank.
The 'American Invasion': Yankee boys, Kiwi girls
Romantic liaisons between American servicemen and New Zealand women
inevitably developed. The soldiers were starved of female company, and
the Kiwi women often found the American men brought good manners and
exciting new habits like taxi rides, ice-cream sodas and gifts of
flowers. Some 1500 New Zealand women married American servicemen in
these years. This was not a development universally welcomed,
especially by Kiwi men, and there were a number of fights and plenty
of mutterings about the invading 'bedroom commandos'.
