He could be a 'nice guy' with character flaws with can make him just as fascinating.
We can only pray for him(?) and wish him all the best.
As sure as night follows day,

Making a film or drama series about a real military unit is not 'special treatment'. It would be shining a light on an area that is unknown or possibly overlooked. The film Windtalkers focused on the use of Navajo soldiers who served in the Pacific War. Was that special treatment? Are you objecting just because the focus would be on black men? Just asking.
Thanks for this, Friend. I had forgotten about this film. Saw it many years ago on TV.
Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Nice try, amigo.
Is that a serious question? Japan was bombed by the American air force from 1942 onwards. There is also the tiny matter of two atomic bombs used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Have you ever read a history book?
The scene where Mary recalls her son talking about the upside about being drafted is that he would get to go to college on the GI Bill. She is saddened by the fact that even that possibility was taken from him. Great performance from Da Vine Joy Randolph.
Marie was not all alone in the world. She had a family who we get to see later on in the film. By contrast, Bourne was the one all alone, as he could not remember who was or where he was from.
It is possible that it was an accident. However, I think he had given up and just kept blaming his wife for his problems. I think he saw suicide as his only option.
I'm not American, but we are exposed to such American culture like sitcoms that some names stick like Lou Grant, Sam Malone and Richie Cunningham.
Nancy Reagan's Just Say No campaign was a PR exercise to change the perception of her in the media. There was a lot of coverage of her liking expensive designer dresses and her getting people fired from her husband's Administration.
The crack epidemic happened almost at the same time that Congress cut off funding for the Contra War in Nicaragua. Coincidence?
The last episode when the Senator is exposed reminded of the movie Jessica Chastain movie Ms Sloane. In that movie, the smug politician is exposed as corrupt for all to see. This happens during a Congressional hearing just like in Jack Ryan 4.
It wasn't just the money, although that was a factor. She knew Forrest would be a loving father. His mother had instilled some good values in him when she raised him.
No, it's a Norwegian black comedy set in Oslo. Don't let that put you off. Well worth a look.
Is it possible to talk about the career of a prominent black actress without accusations or name calling?
Nixon always felt that he was cheated out of the Presidency in 1960. There were allegations of voter fraud in Texas and Illinois. He probably had the mindset that believed the other side played rough, so why shouldn't I ?
I agree with everything you have said. Can I also add that Aliens is also be read as a commentary on the War in Vietnam. Over confident marines believe that their superior technology will overcome the aliens. They soon discover that these are not just " dumb animals". Ripley is the expert who is ignored until they realise that she understands the enemy better then anyone else.
I find it hard to believe that Elvis did not want to go on tour overseas. He must have seen the impact of the British Invasion with all those bands crossing the Atlantic. He knew how popular he was, and that a European tour would have been good for his career. He was probably not strong enough to insist on going with or without the Colonel.
Maybe Elvis was too sentimental towards the Colonel. He was like a father figure and he helped to make Elvis a star. He knew how to promote and market Elvis into a household commodity.
