Had anyone seen the movie Thirteen Days??


I rented it lastnight, and it's a shame that it took a movie to teach me about the Cuban missile Crisis! (damned high school) I have now been inspired to maybe major in history. Anyway....how intense was that! If JFK had made any other decision we could have been in nuclear war with the Soviet Union. Who knows what would have happened then!!! It's a GREAT movie, with a great history lesson and I suggest everyone go rent it this weekend!

A very good film. One wonders how things would have gone if JFK had not have been killed and won another term. There are a lot of what ifs with history. If the US had not of won the battle of Midway. How would the ww2 have gone?

I was thinking along the same lines last night, that was when I realized that I could major in history and enjoy school again!

Thank you for some very interesting thoughts and your prospective, Mackenzie. I have watched, with keen interest, a number reports and reenactments of the Cuban Missile Crisis. I’m sure this movie referenced a point at which a full military alert was issued. I was one of the many thousand men (kids ) that received the global command to go to full combat ready and was immediately separated from any outside information. The stateside civilian population and the rest of the connected world had daily and hourly updates while we gave FULL attention elsewhere. I’ve fond it interesting in the past, to see the different “historical accounts” of something that had my complete interest at the time. I WILL make this a must view







( I know we have a couple other Pixies that may find this interesting from the same prospective)
