“When faced with a 20 year threat,

the government responds with a 15 year plan,

in a 6 year defense program,

managed by 3 year personnel,

attempting to develop a 2 year budget,

which in reality is funded by a 1 year appropriation,

(which is typically 1-6 months late),

actually formulated over a 3 day weekend,

and approved in a 1 hour decision briefing.

Battle of Britain (1969)

Battle of Britain is a 1969 British war film documenting the events of the Battle of Britain, the war for aerial supremacy between the German Luftwaffe and the defending Royal Air Force waged over British skies during summer of 1940. The nature of the subject drew many respected British actors to accept roles as key figures of the battle, including Laurence Olivier as Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding, Trevor Howard as Air Vice-Marshal Keith Park, and Patrick Wymark as Air Vice-Marshal Trafford Leigh-Mallory. Directed by Guy Hamilton and produced by Harry Saltzman and S. Benjamin Fisz, it also starred Michael Caine, Christopher Plummer, and Robert Shaw as Squadron Leaders. The script by James Kennaway and Wilfred Greatorex was based on the book The Narrow Margin by Derek Wood and Derek Dempster. The film endeavoured to be a generally accurate account of the Battle of Britain, when in the summer and autumn of 1940 the British RAF inflicted a strategic defeat on the Luftwaffe and so ensured the cancellation of Operation Sea Lion, Adolf Hitler's plan to invade Britain. The film is notable for its spectacular flying sequences. It was on a far larger scale than had been seen on film before, or since, making the film's production very expensive.

Their first battle, in the nearby Long Tan rubber plantation, on 18 August 1966, would become military history Sabben's 30 man platoon was one of a company of 108 men who infamously fought off a vast force estimated at up to 2500 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army regulars until the literal arrival of the cavalry. 00:00 Opening title 00:05 David Sabben conscripted.

The Great Escape

The Great Escape

In 1943, the Germans opened Stalag Luft III, a maximum-security prisoner-of-war camp designed to hold even the craftiest escape artists. In doing so, however, the Nazis unwittingly assembled the finest escape team in military history - brilliantly portrayed here by Steve McQueen ("The Thomas Crown Affair"), James Garner ("The Children's Hour"), Charles Bronson ("From Noon Till Three") and James Coburn ("A Fistful of Dynamite") - who worked on what became the largest prison breakout ever attempted. One of the most ingenious and suspenseful adventure films of all time, this classic is a masterful collaboration between director John Sturges ("The Magnificent Seven"), screenwriters James Clavell ("633 Squadron") and W.R. Burnett ("This Gun for Hire"), and composer Elmer Bernstein ("Birdman of Alcatraz"). Based on a true story, "The Great Escape" is "a great adventure picture, tense with great excitement, rich in character" (The Hollywood Reporter).
