Does this scene from Apocalypse Now represent the American mentality when it comes to war?
Remember the scene -in case you watched the movie- where the helicopters were attacking a Vietnamese village and killing almost everyone in it and then a vietnamese girl threw a grenade to a helicopter on the ground and Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore played by Robert Duvall screamed “F**king savages!”. Now the question for this brilliant scene is, who are the savages? The helpless Vietnamese or the troops who are attacking them?
In the draft script if you searched for it, another scene goes like this: Kilgore: F***ing savages, Willard: Who?, Kilgore: The enemy. Who else?
Is Francis Ford Coppola a genius in representing the American mentality concerning the war, where the lack of empathy is overwhelming?

Is Bear Grylls for real?
Someone told me that Bear Grylls is a phony that is nothing but a short helicopter rider to a warm and cushy hotel bed no matter where he is in the world. And that his cameraman carries water and food if the chips fall. Unlike Les Stroud (Survivorman) who has no camera man and he DOES fend for himself like a true survivalist would.
