What say you DU'er?

Sounds like Cheney to me.....I think he ordered the Code Red!

1. 'cept that Cheney never stood a post

[ixion]

2. and is more of a coward than a psychotic

[zipplewrath]

3. Reality is so different

I was watching that movie last weekend. The similarities struck me. He does come off as a Cheney kinda character. What depressed me is that this guy is hauled off to jail when he makes his admission. In reality, Cheney is "hauled off" to Fox News.

4. Other than the 50,000 deferments sure. nt

5. Well, the character of COL Jessup could pass the USMC PT test!

In real life, Mister Nicholson probably couldn't run around the block without wheezing, so in that way, and that way alone, he's probably a bit like Deadeye Dick.....

:rofl:

6. But the point of the movie is that justice is done no matter who you are, Colonel or not.

In the end, Jesup is held accountable for the crime.

[VeraAgnes]

7. Exactly!

Cheney is just as arrogant, delusional as Jessup.....Cheney thinks like Jessup, he wanted to be Jessup.......

8. That is certainly the implication, BUT

but the movie ends with the marine Jag officer heading out to arrest him ... but did he get convicted? ... there's always a sequel.

[havocmom]

9. Accountable for the crime? Yes, but it is a MOVIE. Real life? Not so much.

cheney does rely heavily on fiction, but he also knows that in real life, the bad guy does not always face the music. He seems to be a betting man. The house needs to take him down.
