I had never heard of this episode before. I imagine that after having survived the European and Pacific theater battles, these men were in no mood to put up with a corrupt political machine, and they did something about it.........the hard way. The video tells the story better than I could.

I knew about it, but I didn't know anyone had made a movie about it. (The move was made in 1992 for Hallmark.)

The Battle of Athens was not unique. Here is a similar case:

I hadn't seen the other post. I got the email for this last night, and that's what prompted me to post it.

...well worth repeating!!!

Wow... That's about all I can say. I can't imagine the strength it took to stand up knowing what failure ment.

Those men had some serious guts. Going to need similar guts to handle what may be coming our way.

I don't see this happening in our time.

This is supposedly from a made for TV movie. It actually quotes the 2nd Amendment at the end in accurate context. Now, try to imagine this movie being made and broadcast of TV today. TV today is info light and propaganda heavy.

THIS is what has made America great. I only wonder if we have the sand to do what those heroes did......
