I was always impressed by that bugler -- knowing this was no drill -- blowing his call note perfect!

It’s where I watched it, it was a 1965 movie.

 

Thanks.  I thought you meant that the video opened to a newsreel showing Christmas Eve at Ferris Barracks, Erlangen, Germany.

why is this age restricted ? 

 

Just a guess since YouTube never says why (or maybe whoever posted it didn't say why) but you can take your pick - violence, alcohol use, rape.

Bit of a booger logging in to watch it, but worth the effort.

 

Haven't seen the film since Junior High School.  Thanks, Joe!

Maybe because it's Pro American and no drag queens or transgenders. Can't have little children watching it!

Great movie. One of my favorite lines is when Burgess Meredith tells JW he's so scared his knees are shaking or something to that effect. The Duke took a drag off his cigarette and said "All battles are fought by scared men who'd rather be somewhere else."

Or maybe because

"Meanwhile, Eddington's instability drives him to rape navy nurse Annalee Dohrn who is engaged to Torrey's son. The traumatized nurse, fearing she might be pregnant, commits suicide with an overdose of sleeping pills. As the truth is about to be revealed, Eddington – still a qualified aviator – commandeers a PBJ patrol bomber and flies solo on an unauthorized reconnaissance flight to locate elements of the Japanese fleet. He goes down in a fiery death in a redeeming act of sacrifice, giving advance warning of a large Japanese task force centered around the super-battleship Yamato, on its way to blast Torrey's much smaller force off the islands."

 

Some might find rape and suicide inappropriate subjects for young children.

 

Just a thought.

you may be right , it seems thats the only thing kids get force fed these days - no math no science no reading/writing  , no english - and of coarse no religion save allaha which i think violates our constitution but then my state just passed a "free speech" law against saying things before an election that violates both the federal constitution and our state constitution ,   

 

there is too much of that going on - disrespecting the constitution , challenging the constitution , all of it revolves around the communisis takeover of our country = we need to fight back - stop being the silent majority of old , they expect that they are taking advantage of that , we need another joe mccarthy without his henchmen , we need a strong person to step up and speak for us and uphold our constitution , im too old now as im sure many that read this will also be , particularly those that understand and remember when , 

 

the 911  day went by i saw nearly nothing on it in the media nor on the radio , dec 7th will go by with near nothing and all i can say is there once was a day that even those of us that were not alive at the moment remembered becaus our parents remembered and educated us 

those that forget or worse yet ignore history are destined to relive it , 911 was about that forgetful time i think , about then was when i was lamenting the lack of remembrance of dec 7th , it will happen again and its coming soon , our border crisis will facilitate it and there will be a bunch of hand wringing and backpaddling on why , we know why - our government is not protecting us its enriching our enemy's  over oil and whatever else and its because our politicians are getting rich from those enemy's , to hell with us - we are expendable , ill get off my soapbox now
