ANTI-TIMES, ANTI-’PLATOON,’ ANTI-WAR, ANTI-JANE

The Times is not just an advocate of extreme liberalism. It is strongly oriented with the philosophy of the far left.

“Platoon” is the last of dozens of anti-American pictures that The Times has enshrined. The imbalance of the facts of the Vietnam War could only be ignored by those who have calculated and devious motives.

Sure, there were terrible atrocities committed by our boys, but there were also appalling circumstances that drove men to madness. One can only assume that “Platoon’s” writers, directors and producers knew that their portrayal of sweet, innocent Vietnamese being brutalized, raped and murdered by monstrous Americans would not be questioned or criticized by the writers of The Times, but would actually be heralded as an authentic, justified and long overdue portrayal of the facts. And the world would react in horror!

As the media campaign continues to discredit the “Rockys,” the “Rambos,” and the “Amerikas,” the men in the Kremlin and the radicals in this country, who consistently strive to weaken, neutralize and disarm us, must rejoice in the knowledge that the entertainment and political writers of The Times are serving valiantly in the forefront of their anti-American crusade.
