-Whether you are active duty
military, veteran, or well-armed citizen FURY is an excellent movie
to prepare American minds for the coming war with genocidal Islam
I am not keen on Hollywood and am especially disgusted by Left Coast progressive liberals. What I am, though, is a Brad Pitt fan, and not just because he and I look alike with our shirts off. In addition to being a phenomenal actor Pitt is from the Midwestern United States and a gun owner who "doesn’t really feel that his family is safe unless there is a gun in his home." Certainty a sentiment with which I can relate.
Released October 2014, FURY is hardly a new movie but now on DVD the film can be seen for a buck via any Red Box or 7-11. For those who have not seen or remember, FURY follows a veteran tank crew of the 66th Armored Regiment during the last month of WWII's European campaign. (That was April 1945 for you Obama voters)
Viewers join the movie as Hitler's military is in total collapse but still fighting Allied forces, including Pitt (Don "Wardaddy" Collier) and his M4A3 Sherman tank crew who help lead US infantry into Germany. Students of military history well know the shortcomings of the WWII Sherman tank against heavier and harder-hitting German mechanized armor. The mortality ratio of the faster but thin-skinned US tanks was a fatal embarrassment compared to their German counterparts.
But FURY is far less a movie about tank warfare than it is a lesson about what happens when groups wage war for control of human civilization. As with the progressive mental illnesses of the 20th century humanity now finds itself in an escalating global conflict with history's violent monotheistic teenager, radical Islam. And with two more years of Obama's appeasement of global Jihad one wonders how great the human costs will be once the civilized world is forced to militarily confront savages like ISIS and Boko haram.
FURY is a mental preparation for what the coming war with proponents of Jihad will look like in order for freedom and individual liberty to remain part of human existence. The movie starts with Pitt (Collier) and his crew mourning the death of their co-driver who is replaced by an enlisted Army typist, Norman, who has never seen the inside of a tank, much less horrors of war. The character Norman, played by actor Logan Lerman, is us, the viewers, being abruptly indoctrinated into to the brutality of killing and human suffering.
Once Norman joins the veteran tank crew Collier and his men berate the novice for being reluctant to exterminate German soldiers, combative or wounded, without thought. The tank crew's psychological torment continues until Norman realizes his place and purpose on the battlefield and can kill as thoughtlessly and mercilessly as members of Collier's crew. The movie did an effective job of progressing viewer mindset from 'passive Army clerk to mass killer of hated Nazis.'
Fast forward seventy years to the ISIS burning of caged Jordanian fighter pilot Moath al-Kasasbeh and again we are “Norman” being introduced to an unimaginable evil that must be ruthlessly destroyed for the continuance of Western civilization. Unlike Nazi socialism, however, Islamic Jihad is not associated with a government or state that can be beaten into submission and forced into a legally-binding, unconditional surrender. Jihad is a perversion of a relatively young religion that will require years, if not generations, to “calm” before it can become a productive member of planet earth.
The global war with Jihad will not only be a brutal war for the future of western civilization but a war that will end, not with the surrender of a government or territory, but the reformation and moderation of the Muslim faith itself. Take a ride with Don "Wardaddy" Collier and his crew in FURY to wrap your head around what could be in the coming total war with militant Islam. One can only speculate how much more powerful groups like ISIS will have become once Obama and his staff of professorial Marxists have vacated the White House.
