Did you see the movie? I don't remember hardly anything about it - except that I enjoyed it, and that York was characterized as more of an ignorant rube than I, a rube, thought was necessary.

York grew up extremely poor and had very little education. He had done nothing but work on a small mountain farm until he was drafted.
I love the movie, saw it many times.

Egregious is right! "Young" men. Bah - humbug!
How old is that picture? The guy in green fatigues looks like he has an M1 with bayonet slung on his shoulder. Not sure but it doesn't look like an M16.
Also, F.W. Woolworths went out of business in 1997.
Looks like some things never change. Rioters distroyed their neighborhoods then and they are still at it.

I have a clothes dryer just like that
The Pepsi Cola sign over the newspaper stand takes it back way before '97.
I think @hiwall was posting the similarities of how the recent race riots have sent places back where they were decades ago.
It's now the same as it was in the late 60's....again.
On topic, Detroit 1967:

My Father in law was sent to Detroit in 1967 with the National Guard. Said is was a hell hole. It's gotten worse since then.The Pepsi Cola sign over the newspaper stand takes it back way before '97.

Here is one from the Minneapolis riots.
The world knew her as "Aunt Jemima," but her given name was Nancy Green and she was a true American success story. She was born a slave in 1834 Montgomery County, KY... and became a wealthy superstar in the advertising world, as its first living trademark.
Green was 56-yrs old when she was selected as spokesperson for a new ready-mixed, self-rising pancake flour and made her debut in 1893 at a fair and exposition in Chicago. She demonstrated the pancake mix and served thousands of pancakes... and became an immediate star. She was a good storyteller, her personality was warm and appealing, and her showmanship was exceptional. Her exhibition booth drew so many people that special security personnel were assigned to keep the crowds moving.
Nancy Green was signed to a lifetime contract, traveled on promotional tours all over the country, and was extremely well paid. Her financial freedom and stature as a national spokesperson enabled her to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for folks in Chicago.
She maintained her job until her death in 1923, at age 89.
Nancy Green was a remarkable woman... and has just been ERASED by politically correct losers.

After 10 years as an Aviation Electronic Tech, I took electronics 101 at a community collage just for the VA pay. The instructor gave me the 3 girls in the class for lab partners and said don't let them blow anything up or electricute themselves.
When I went through Navy electronic school we had to learn tube and transistor theory. It was a pain.

I assume you found where to connect the large ground terminal to keep them safe?
I felt obligated back then and did my part.
They were all safe.Some smiled
After they did their lab work they would look at me. Then ask, OK? Several time "I replied I wouldn't turn on the power." I asked them why they chose electronics and they said because it looked easy. They were wrong and 2 of the 3 change classes.I assume you found where to connect the large ground terminal to keep them safe?
