: : : I maybe wrong here, and I do apologize if I am. But on the "Some of Our Favorite Shots" page, has a picture of Major Duncan Hayward burning. Now, he did a very courageous act, so I find it odd that a man doing such an act of bravery has ended up on your favorite page, at least in a picture of him suffering. So I am therefore concluding its because he was British therefore suggesting he deserved what he got?

: : : If I had a site with Japanese soldiers condemning US Marines to bamboo cane torture with the title "Some of My Favorite shots" You may indeed think I was anti-American. Like I said above, if I am indeed wrong I apologize.

: : Dear Ben,

: : Duncan's being British has nothing to do with the fact that the shot of his burning is a favorite.  It is one of the most highly dramatic and emotionally tearing scenes of the movie, and it is the culmination of Steven Waddington's fine acting throughout the film.

: : If you were to scan back over the many discussions of Waddington's role in the Board Archives, you would find the posts are heavily sympathetic with his heroic sacrifice, and I daresay, nary a one cheering because the "Brit deserved what he got".

:  In addition to Gayle's post, FYI, keep in mind that at that period in time, the British were the "good guys" in the colonies!
