The Green Berets (film)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Berets_%28film%29
The Green Berets is a 1968 film featuring John Wayne, George Takei, David Janssen, Jim Hutton, and Aldo Ray, nominally based on the eponymous 1965 book by Robin Moore, but the screenplay has little relation to the book.
Thematically, The Green Berets is strongly anti-communist and pro-Saigon. It was produced in 1968, at the height of American involvement in the Vietnam War, the same year as the Tet offensive against the largest cities in southern Vietnam. John Wayne was prompted by the anti-war atmosphere and social discontent in the U.S. to make this film in countering that. He requested and obtained full military co-operation and material from President Lyndon Baines Johnson. The U.S. Army's strict control of the script's depictions and equipment were reasons why Columbia Pictures, (who had bought the book's pre-publication film rights), and producer David L. Wolper, (who also tried to buy the same rights), changed their minds about making The Green Berets themselves.
John Wayne had always been a steadfast supporter of American involvement in the war in Vietnam. He had entertained the soldiers in Vietnam, and wanted The Green Berets to be a tribute to them. He co-directed the film, and turned down the "Major Reisman" role in The Dirty Dozen World War II anti-Nazi commando action movie to do so. The film's first scene illustrates that contention when Green Beret tour guides at Fort Benning, Georgia, show civilian visitors to the U.S. Infantry School the Soviet- and Chinese-made weapons issued to the soldiers and guerillas of the communist NVA and VC, in pursuit of world domination.

Although the film portrays the Vietcong and North Vietnamese Army as sadistic tyrants, it does, however, show them as a capable and willing enemy that will not go down easy. The film also shows that unlike America's previous wars, this one had no front lines, meaning that the enemy can show up and attack at almost any position. The film also shows the sophisticated spy ring of the VC and NVA, perhaps their greatest asset.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Berets_%28film%29#Technical_errors
The oft quoted criticism that the film closes with the sun "setting in the east" by Da Nang is in fact wrong. Critics presume that the film ends in the evening, while in fact, the penultimate scene is set at night, and the last scene is the helicopters landing in the morning. The final shot shows Wayne and a young Asian boy walking along a coastline with the sun near the horizon in the background. Critics frequently mention this, presuming the movie ends at dusk, rather than dawn, and believe that the sun is setting rather than rising. However, following the movie's timeline, the last shot occurs in the morning, and the sun is correctly understood to be "rising in the east" INCORRECT: the movie's timeline points to dusk, since the team is picked up by helicopters in the afternoon, after performing a Skyhook extraction of a North Vietnamese general. The airfield is on Vietnam's coastline near Da Nang, which faces East. It is, in truth, a colossal error. Also, the scene begins in bright daylight and darkens. When the sun comes up, it gets lighter.).
The story occurs in southern Vietnam, which does not have pine trees, so viewers think it does not resemble Vietnam. If it took place in the Central Highlands of Vietnam, it would be correct as that region does have pine trees and Georgian terrain like that of Fort Benning.
The weapons of the Vietcong guerrillas and NVA soldiers, while mostly American and British, are accurate, as Chinese copies of them were exported to the NVA and Vietcong. At the time, few modern Russian and Chinese assault rifles, i.e. the AK-47, had been captured by the Americans or Hollywood.

Towards (More) This is a parody version of Green Day's Wake Me Up When September Ends that I (justshutuprightnow) made. Unfortunately, due to putting multiple inserts in, the quality went down a bit. Towards the middle the Green Day singer starts to sound like the Linkin Park singer. Lol. Towards the middle the singer stars to forget the lyrics, that is what the pauses are for. PM me or email me for any comments that you have. I'd like to hear from you. If the song isn't quite 7 and a half minutes long, I'm sorry the only part of it got uploaded for some reason, that's what happened last time, and I'll do what I can to fix it if that's what happens. If it is 7 and a half minutes long, enjoy.
Inserts are (in chronological order): Dry Cell's Heaven 'n Hot Rods, The Offspring's Pretty Fly (For A White Guy), Movie Theme's James Bond 007 Theme, The Offspring's Have You Ever, Saliva's Superstar, The Offspring's Change The World, Spongebob's Ripped My Pants, Linkin Park's The Morning After, Sound Effect's Censored Beep, Lord of The Ring's quote: "My Precious", Shrek 2's I'm Too Sexy, Weird Al's Star Wars Gangsta Rap (Yoda), Sound Effect's Gun Shots, South Park's quote: OMG They Killed Kinny, Hoobastank's The Rules, and of course, Green Day's Wake Me Up When September Ends throughout.

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything"

There is a slight hiccup near the end because my can only record video 180 seconds at a time.
Lyrics:
I've been hustlin' since kindergarten was a pre-show
Jumpin rivers in my Mutant Ninja Turtle velcroes
And Bugle Boy, the whole neighborhood knows how it feels
Super-Soaked in a squirt-by from the kid in Power Wheels
Not raised in projects, I was makin' projects
In science class, grow a bean and then I pass
Cause you got no soul if you ain't on the Honor Roll
And I will not trade six pogs for a fluffy troll
And I've been locked up, private school was my pen
My biggest concern was keepin' my shirt tucked in
The only Crack(le) I knew hung out with Snap and Pop
If you say "Red light!" there's no doubt I'm gonna stop
Drop, shut em' down open up hip-hop
Used to watch Muppet Babies, never been on Cops
It only took one try to know I didn't like mustard
Had a problem? Then I just call Ghostbusters...
The wood playgrounds all got torn down
when I drive through my home town.
They're all plastic now.
Planet Kids and Discovery Zone
went under to make room for furniture stores.
1960s nostalgia films and 1970s home movie stills
played vibrant in another life,
one kind that slept through the night.
War in the backyard, peace in the tree house.
On my front lawn, there was always a crowd
for summer games, like capture the flag.
I was always the last one out.
I'd wake up at 6 AM on Saturday mornings
for sugar cereal and cartoon glory,
before going to the Little League field
for nachos, hide and seek, bike rides,
and some new cool story.
And then, in the afternoon,
I'd be in my grandparents' pool,
or out playing with kites or balloons,
cards with friends, odds and ends,
seeing the world through a kaleidoscope lens.
I would watch Sesame Street and think
that I was the smartest boy alive
before I realized that I was only five
and I would have to apologize
for calling all my teachers idiots.
They called it dissension. I called it reinvention.
I had so much to say that I got a detention
for talking straight through the morning Pledge of Allegiance.
I was weary of authority figures,
because all they did was talk and take my action figures.
The people that I trusted best was a short list.
It was always my parents and Johnny Quest.
I learned politics from playing cowboys and Indians.
From X-Men, I learned about discrimination.
From The Twilight Zone, I learned America was scared
of communism and an alien invasion.
Chorus.
Bubble gum bubble gum in a dish
How many G.I. Joes did I wish?
That i had-- my cousin had more and I was mad
So I was wearin courdoroys when it was cool to wear plaid
My hero was Mike Piazza
I wet the bed a lotsa
So my my sheets would stain
Just like the corners of my mouth
when I would pound the Gatorade
I took my gin and juice without the first one
Got excited when my Lunchable came with CapriSun
Readin' Goosebumps was scary like red rum
Gotta hide under the covers when the monsters come
I was more pale than the bucket that I took to the beach
Looked like "The Bearenstein Bears and Not Enough Teeth"
But I could still disappear in some hide and seek
I was faster than Benny in the Sandlot heat
Rad guitar solo.
Chorus. (Less) Channel: youtube

At the time, few modern Russian and Chinese assault rifles, i.e. the AK-47, had been captured by the Americans or Hollywood. - Trivia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Berets_%28film%29#Trivia - External links http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Berets_%28film%29#External_links - The Green Berets (1968) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063035/ Directors: Ray Kellogg John Wayne Writers: James Lee Barrett (screenplay) Robin Moore (novel) Cast (Cast overview, first billed only) John Wayne - Col.

At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side, His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything" The World at War The story of the Second World War through the testimony of key participants. The first segment of the classic British production of the history of World War II - it's causes, events and battles, told by the participants and film archives. (Less) Channel: youtube

Description: Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Libyan leader (thug dictator) Moammar Gadhafi signed an agreement for Italy to give Libya $5 billion as compensation for its 30 year occupation which ended (More) Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Libyan leader (thug dictator) Moammar Gadhafi signed an agreement for Italy to give Libya $5 billion as compensation for its 30 year occupation which ended in 1943, as reported by The Dallas Morning News, reprinted from The Associated Press.
In 1943 Italys fascist Prime Minister Benito Mussolini (Il Duce), whose official title was, His Excellency Benito Mussolini, Head of Government, Duce of Fascism and Founder of the Empire, were no longer occupying Libya after 30 years. It was not that Il Duce just decided to leave Libya, it was because of World War Two, and the Allies drove the Nazi and Fascist armies out of North Africa which includes Libya.
It was the nations of the United Kingdom (UK), the United States of America (USA), Free French France (apart from the Vichy French), India, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Polish free forces (Poland), Czechoslovakia, and Greece, all fighting as the Allies to clear North Africa of the Nazi and Fascist occupation. The armed forces of these Allied nations lost 67,221 of their military to battle field deaths, wounded, or missing in action (MIA).
When Libya receives the $5 billion from Italy that money should be turned over to the families of those 67,221 Allied forces who lost their lives, were wounded, or missing in action. Because it was their contribution which caused the end of the Italian Fascist occupation of Libya. The occupation did not end because one day Mussolini woke up and decided to end Italys North African occupation.
