‘For the Boys’ Shows Wartime Culture From Behind Stage
Thank you for running a second opinion on the movie “For the Boys” (“ ‘For the Boys’: Real-Life Morale Booster,” Dec 16). This fascinating account of our wartime culture as seen from backstage furnishes new insight into the foibles of America through three wars.
World War II was real box office. “For the Boys” demonstrates how the people who brought us WWII thought they could get away with the vacuous sequels: Korea and Vietnam.
