Hogan's Hereos Lugers
 

From time to time I see Lugers in movies mentioned. Anyone watch Hogan's Hereos. I think it is a fun show and sometimes see a Luger. I like the German epuipment and uniforms--authentic or not. Take a close look at Shultz's rifle----it is a Springfield 30-40 Krag. So much for authenticity. I watched last night. Hogan used the K word at least twice--and in presence of thousands of viewers. Recently I observed Archie Bunker[All in the Family] use the word Heb in reference to a man of Jewish Faith--again in presence of thousands. TV Land continues to be on the air. My point is: recently some poor guy used the K word once, in passing, and was crcified by this forum. I don't think this was fair or appropriate here in America and expecially not now. I suspect that the poor guy who used the K word was more offended by the forum than was anyone else.

OH YES--the word should be especially--not exp---!

But Art, both of the shows used them to show what idiots the "bad guys" were, not that it is acceptable to use them?


I am not a big politically correct guy, but why use inflammatory words? And no, I don't think the words are as bad as other words, but why use them? Just to use them?


I think this is a great forum and talking about Luger's and Nazi's is understandable, as they are interconnected. But going down the political path just causes tension.

I thought the thread about the 'K' word was brought to a close. There are some words, "trigger words" that are best left unspoken. Nuff said!
