  • contradictator, on 11/11/2009, -0/+5Dugg for The Cap. I'm Canadian and even I recognize his awesomeness.
  • vietzon, on 11/10/2009, -0/+2In the 80s, Rambo movies were banned in Vietnam. Don't ask me why...
  • Alli3388, on 11/10/2009, -0/+2Probably because it portrayed the Vietnamese in the present day still acting like Vietcong who love to torture men who have been prisoners of war for 20 years. And because one of their own falls for a white guy.
  • Alli3388, on 11/10/2009, -0/+2That list ***** sucks. The only two halfway decent picks were Potter and Rambo. Um, hello, Willem Dafoe in Platoon!
  • robbiedo, on 11/11/2009, -0/+2That guy in "From Hell and Back" who played the Audie Murphy character seemed pretty good.
  • lurrch1, on 11/11/2009, -0/+2Those racist Vietnamese.
  • jackalsclaw, on 11/11/2009, -0/+2But that might be his best line ever....well this was kinda cool:

    Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world - "No, you move."

  • wilf_brim, on 11/11/2009, -0/+1Dugg for Lt Colleen McMurphy, at least in the first season. As a military doctor, those are the nurses you need when you go to war.
  • chadsterrr, on 11/11/2009, -0/+1Dugg for Col. Sherman Potter
  • MarrowMan, on 11/24/2009, -0/+1LOL In the New Ultimates, The Red Skull is Cap's son. Talk about f'd up.
  • kplo, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1I used to love the drawings of Sarge beating up Beetle. All the dust and arms and legs.
  • RizzosBack, on 11/10/2009, -1/+2Disappointed by their writeup of Cap. Ultimates isn't exactly his finest hour.
  • rmxz, on 11/11/2009, -0/+1No Pat Tillman-the-bush-administration-version? Or Jessica Lynch-the-bush-administration version?

    Sad that even the real war heroes of our time get presented to us as fictional stories written by propaganda departments.
  • robbiedo, on 11/12/2009, -0/+1you will always wonder
  • brandonb, on 11/11/2009, -0/+1Walter Sobchak?
  • twohoundogs, on 11/11/2009, -0/+1"That guy.......... who played the Audie Murphy character"

    Please tell me you wrote it that way on purpose.
  • roebeet, on 11/11/2009, -0/+1Nothing comes easy in Easy Company.

    Dugg for Sgt. Rock.
