Realwest, who used to post at Little Green Footballs back when Chuckles was still on Team America, told an anecdote about Stone that I’ve never forgotten.

Realwest was also a Vietnam veteran. He said there’s a particular bar in midtown (NYC) that a lot of the vets used to hang out in, including Stone.

Then “Platoon” came out. Stone went to that bar not long after — and every veteran in the joint saw him, stood up, and turned their backs on him, in silence. Stone looked at them for a moment, turned, and walked back out. Realwest said he never saw the SOB in the joint again.

They were bitter and angry that Stone had painted them as a bunch of psychos in a loser war.

I wonder if Stone has the stones to go after Obama. Somehow I doubt it. Gutless wonder that he is.

The acting was amazing.
