Burning bridges

We had a different class of actors back when this was made. Telly Savalas was a WW2 Army Veteran. Don Rickles was aWW2 Navy Veteran as was Harry Dean Stanton. Carroll O'Connor served in the Merchant Marine. Those were the guys who really risked their necks. Clint Eastwood was too young to serve in WW2 as was Donald Sutherland. Sutherland I have no use for. He teamed up with Hanoi Jane and harassed members of the military during the Vietnam war. Oh well, every movie needs a villain, too bad he was supposed to be on our side.
