Has anybody seen the History Channel's "History or Hollywood" debate of U-571? It's pretty comical, to see these guys take this show seriously. I just happen to have it on tape...

And to think all these years I believed Grandpa Abe Simpson's version.

I have a thread around here somewheres on how some brave Yank always manages to find himself in battles where no American actually participated.

Here in the Philippines a favorite staple is how said Yank manages to defeat an entire Japanese garrison at a time when most Americans in the area were either in prison or just laying low. The favorite secret weapon, of course, is a submachinegun with 'smart' bullets where one magazine can wipe out an entire platoon. Oh. And the grenades that always land an inch from the enemy's foot.
