“I gave everything I had. And I came home paralyzed. And they told me it was for freedom. But I learned that freedom means having the courage to speak the truth, even when no one wants to hear it.”

“This is the truth. We were betrayed in Vietnam. And when we came home, we were betrayed again.”

“I served my country — and I came home to be treated like a criminal. But I still love America. That’s why I protest. Because I believe we can be better.”

“We’re all the same. People say we’re different because of our politics or because of the color of our skin, but we’re all the same. We’re Americans. And we’re going to make this a better country.”

“We fought for our country, and they just want us to forget about it. I won’t forget.”

“I believed in the war, and I went to Vietnam. I gave my life for it. And I came back here, and I don’t have a job, I don’t have anything… I’m a nothing, man!”

This is, of course, a joke. Tom Cruise is not actually in a SW movie, but TGM was basically the trench run from A New Hope.

Movie TV Tech Geeks #MovieNews #TomCruise #BornontheFourthofJuly Tom Cruise Passes His ‘Born on the Fourth of July’ Co-Star Willem Dafoe on the Lifetime Box Office Charts
Arte.tv is showing " #BornOnTheFourthOfJuly "(1989) tonight,and all i have to say about it is #TomCruise is just not a good actor.
No matter how important the Book of #RonKovic has been, and no matter what good of a director #OliverStone truly is, Tom Cruise is just not a Good Actor.

#TomCruise was #BornontheFourthofJuly 35 years ago when #OliverStone's anti-war drama opened on December 20th, 1989 #KyraSedgwick #RaymondJBarry #JerryLevine #FrankWhaley #WillemDafoe #VietnmaWar #RonKovic #BioPic #80sMovies #OscarWinner
#BornOnTheFourthOfJuly Gung Ho patriot evolves into an anti-war activist after years of experience with disability and the ongoing media--quest for victory--and 60's-70s maneuverings by political elites (not featured in the film but it would be understood to audiences).
Happy birthday Tom Cruise.
