STUPID Decision, AMC!

So, I just got home from work and I'm flipping through the channel guide for AMC (channel 34, around here), and okay... The Longest Day, good, good.... Windtalkers... well, okay, I guess... Ooh! We Were Soldiers! Gotta grab the Kleenex box before that comes on.... Pearl Harbor? What? Why not "Tora! Tora! Tora!"??
Oh crap... *twice in a row*? Then what?

"Casualties of War?" Are you freaking kidding me??? Haven't you lying bastards kicked the Vietnam Vets enough? You have to play that piece of shit propaganda piece on THIS day of all days?? You don't show a piece of filth movie that perpetuates the slander of Vietnam era American soldiers! Not on Memorial Day! You might as well urinate on their graves (come to think of it, most of those in power today, especially occupying the White House and the State department, would probably want to urinate on the graves of Vietnam veterans...)

The movie is about a group of America G.I.s who kidnap and abuse a Vietnamese girl. Oh, sure, they're going to show "Hamburger Hill" later, but there's no reason to show this piece of crap... ever.

Now, do I put this in movies, history, culture or politics?

    Why isn't Midway on TV today? Perhaps they will air it on 6/4, the anniversary of that great battle, the one won by the minds, when we cracked the Japanese codes and used bold and brilliantly unorthodox strategy to win.
