The Australian Army barely gets a name-check

The Australians have been America's best Allies since the turn of the LAST century. Way ahead of even the British. But since Australians are rugged and independant like most REAL Americans they always get a brush off from Hollywood. While liberal socialists European Countries are falsly RAISED up.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but the film is a 'bio-pic' about the man, 'His Majesty', General Douglas MacArthur, and his dealings with others during his lifetime career as a soldier. The film IS NOT about the campaigns he was involved in, even though this film lionises and mythologies much of the accounts of those dealings. It wouldn't matter one jot if the film focused on the New Guinea campaign for 5 mins or 55 mins. - the campaigns were not the focal point of the film, they were intentionwlly incidental to the story of the character.

P.s. I am Australian by the way. The story of the New Guinea campaign has been well covered elsewhere, as have most of the other campaigns that MacArthur was involved in. For me personally, I prefer access to the resources of the Australian War Museum, the National Archives of Australia, the British War Museum, the U.S. National Archives & Records Administration, the US Army, US National Archives Military Records et al. For me, access to these resources of factual material would provide a greater picture than any Hollywood film may or may not achieve. Having recently watched 'The Monuments Men', most of it is made up as they go along anyway.
