  This short film is still a great lesson to all especially during this era where the individual sense of entitlement far outweighs such tenets as duty, honor, and service. It is unfortunate that some of the comments find this film to be negative and harsh in its message. I doubt if many people know or realize the historical period during which this story was written and its original purpose.

• Dated and displaying a mean-spirited America

  This is a mean, diabolical version of America. Sentencing a young American to a life-time of torture and imprisonment for a brief burst of anger? Nothing patriotic about this dated film. Sorry, but this is not the kind of America we love.

  I could not say it better than the first reviewer, except to say a hearty, Amen! I graduated from high school very early in the sixties. You know, that other generation! "Love of God, country, and mom! That is what it was about, in that order.

  In this day and age, it needs to be seen again, and again.

  If this is the same movie shown to us in school (some 50 years ago), I think it should be shown to every American. We could all use a refreshing of our heritage. Thanks for showing it.
