Comprising confrontations in _GR_

[JBFRAME at aol.com]

There was a rather good movie called _Go Tell the Spartans_about the early 
days of small groups of advisors in Viet Nam.  I think it came out about the 
same time as GB, but with a less (shall we say) conservative message.  Burt 
Lancaster played a US Army colonel trying to get ARVN troops to defend 
villages.  A sense of futility permeates the entire film.  But then, BL was a 
notorious liberal.
