CHUCK NORRIS & ‘PLATOON’
It doesn’t surprise me that a clown like Norris is heated up about an accurate military presentation. If enough people see and understand “Platoon,” it might jeopardize his career as a communist exterminator. I’d be worried if I were him; or Stallone, or Schwarzenegger.
I hope all vets boycott future movies that misrepresent soldiers as Johnny Rambos. “Rambo: First Blood Part II” stands as the last Stallone movie I will ever see.
As for Norris, I like his older movies when he appeared on the wrong side of Bruce Lee’s foot.
