I was researching why (I already know, just looking for confirmation) this piece of cinematic sewage keeps replaying on certain channels.To drum up war business of course. But I came across a review on a Right Wing website that the “classic” Red Dawn and Extreme Prejudice and a couple of other Death-Porn flicks by the same production company only show on “conservative” Cable channels and no MSM channel would touch them. “Lefty Censorship”.
How about this scenario instead? They sucked when they first came out and they’ve been sucking ever since. Assassination and “Kill Immigrant” flicks belong in the same genre as the “Six Days in Fallujah” and “Call of Duty” porn games where the players or viewers get to masturbate to images of people being murdered.
“Red Dawn” and “Extreme Prejudice” were made to bolster the Reagan/Bush Administrations’ use of the Murdering Contra Mercenary Terrorists against the People of Nicaragua.
Meanwhile REAL soldiers gave me this review of it, back then…

“Man that is f…in’ retarded. We’re sitting there in Germany facing the Soviets, Reagan and Bush playing games trying to make them paranoid, telling them AND the German people that a limited tactical nuclear exchange in Germany would be “winnable”… doing everything possible to convince the Soviets that they’re crazy, and they put this piece of shit into the mix. Get them thinking EVERYBODY in America is just as goofy as they (Reagan) are”.

See, you can’t sustain a war without Hate. You can’t justify spending more money than your nation will ever hope to have on “defense” spending if you don’t have at least a perception of a war. If you don’t have the “America Under Constant Attack” for real, you have to Make Shit Up.

Otherwise the “Defense” industry would shut down and the bastards would have to actually EARN money through actual work.
facing a shortage of hordes of brown-skinned terrorists out to Destroy America, they have to conflate Immigrant Workers with the increasingly mythical al Qa’eda.

Re-enter: Red Dawn. Where the Haters can sit on their couches with the remote in one hand and the pecker in the other, masturbating to the idea of killing “illegals”.
