Some Vets Condemn 'Wedding Crashers' Site | AccessAtlanta
Really? Some vets are not happy about a fake purple heart at the movie's website with the inscription: "Carrying a Purple Heart in your jacket guarantees you attention, admiration and plenty of free booze."
It's a joke based on something that happens in the movie. That's it. Are we as a society that desperate to have a battle to fight? 'Walk through the hospital....' yes we know the sacrifices of our military veterans and regardless of the thought that seems to be pervading through our vet population, we don't take it for granted. We're just tired of being reminded now.
Also, maybe you like the movie, maybe you don't. I haven't seen it. But the fact is it's art. Just because it's not 'Platoon'-like drama, you feel offended. It's all good to talk about a purple heart in a movie until you use it in a comedy and then rah rah rah.....
Vets who are offended can walk out of the movie. But please don't take valuable internet space with this non-issue....this damn political correctness BS is getting ridiculously blown out of proportion....
