While I am glad that vets are getting more opportunities, I think Tom Hanks is only doing this because of the success that Clint Eastwood is getting using vets. If Tom really felt that way, he would have done something around Saving Private Ryan... My 2 cents at least!

LT Brad McInnis Really? Your going to rag on Tom Hanks because of the movie "Saving Private Ryan?" In this case you are definitely comparing apples to oranges.
"Saving Private Ryan"
Directed by Steven Spielberg
Produced by Ian Bryce, Mark Gordon, Gary Levinsohn, Steven Spielberg
Written by Robert Rodat

Though Tom may have starred in the movie, I do not see his name anywhere near the top, except as the lead actor. Shouldn't your disdain be reserved for Steven Spielberg for the movie "Saving Private Ryan?"

SSG Robert Webster - No, what i meant was if Tom was so proud of the military after working with them, that he wanted to add vets to his movies, why didn't he do this after Saving Private Ryan? I think it was a great movie and he was awesome in it. My only point in him getting vets involved now is because Clint Eastwood is seeing lots of deserved success after the Paris movie. If he truly believed what he is saying, he would have done it much earlier.

LT Brad McInnis - That may be so, however Mr. Eastwood has usually garnered a lot of success from his military themed movies and even in the past has used that as a point, even when they were bungled.

And it would be better if SGT Leng wore his badges correctly. The author could have pointed this out when he was talking about observing something not quite right in a movie or show.
