P.S. Unrelated but Bridge over the River Kwai was the most historically inaccurate war move ever made. Rambo holds more realism.

Sounds familiar in that the Soviet Union excercised identical methodology in their incorporation of Europe post WWII. They were now a superpower, with a doctrine that was obviously vastly superior morally to the West. Thousands upon thousands fed the mill with their lives with (sometimes enforced) fanaticism in order to create a 'preemptive strike" capability against their ex-allies.
I thought that this was obvious. hmmm.
Do you want me to go on about Mao and his cultural revolution?
A movie inaccurate??? Say it ain't so! What do you take me for? Even recent examples of movies demonstrate extreme historical inaccuracies (take Revenge of the Sith for example
).
My intent was to illustrate using an example quote from popular culture the attitude portrayed that the Geneva convention or the Queensbury rules for all their intent on civilizing human conflict, can be tossed aside when it comes to brass tacks.
