Chuck Yeager Weighs In On "First Man" B.S.

[L84Cabo]

Ok...This is kinda awesome.

If you're not familiar with the situation, "First Man" is the new Ryan Gosling movie about Neil Armstrong. And Hollywood...in it's infinite liberal stupidity...saw fit to eliminate one of the most iconic moments in American history by not including in the movie, when Neil planted the US Flag on the moon.

Ryan Gosling had this to say about the decision...

"I think this was widely regarded in the end as a human achievement [and] that's how we chose to view it," Gosling said at the Venice Film Festival. "I also think Neil was extremely humble, as were many of these astronauts, and time and time again, he deferred the focus from himself to the 400,000 people who made the mission possible."

Well somebody tweeted at General Yeager about the situation...



And the General actually responded!

I'm guessing you've got the wrong Yeager?

 

[Kruel J]

Hollywood, who needs it?

And yes, I know EXACTLY which Chuck Yeager was referenced. SR-71 Blackbird anyone?

Oops,

Thought it was that fatbody turned YouTube know it all.

 

[RVTECH]

SR-71 Blackbird anyone?

Actually it would be the Bell X-1 he is famous for flying along with an incredible wartime and post war flying career.

Hollywood: "Let's make a movie about the first man on the moon, but leave out the whole point of the trip in the first place."

Does Ryan Goooseling actually speak in this movie instead of just looking like a badasszz? First time for everything I guess

He looks like a skinny little worm to me.

Sounds like a movie that is desperately needing a new title....

.....May I suggest, "The Wrong Stuff".

How could we forget? They remind us everyday with the sheite that comes outta their mouths.

Hollywood: "Let's make a movie about the first man on the moon, but leave out the whole point of the trip in the first place."

I'm surprised they didn't portray it as black, socialist, lesbian, vegans with facial piercings (and such) that were the first to land on the moon.... just more weak attempts at historical revisionism.

He looks like a skinny little worm to me.

LOL... C'mon I bet he ruled his HS Drama club like a boss, with an iron fist.

Or "Double Stuff", or "HR Puffin Stuff"...he's your friend when things get tough!

And, he did it with a broken arm.

 

[Alexx1401]

I stopped supporting the NFL, I still support "Hollywood" but VERY little compared to what I used to. They can keep doing this garbage, I can keep not sharing my money with them.

 

[edslhead]

This movie should soar to the top of the box office charts, just like "Miss Sloane"

Chuck Yeager was a real hero like my
Army SF, GB, Airborne Dad.

WOW talk about revisionist history.

What actually happened

Then Capt. Yeager broke the sound barrier on October 14, 1947, flying the X-1 Glamorous Glennis at Mach 1.07 at an altitude of 45,000 ft (13,700 m)

He did it with two broken ribs that he got two nights before when while riding a horse drunk he fell off of it only his wife and Ridley a fellow test pilot knew. He used a section of busted broom stick to gain the leverage required to shut the hatch on the X-1.

He never flew in a SR-71 Blackbird

He flew combat in WWII and Vietnam

Is credited with 11.5 Kills during WWII

Pity, they shoulda at least made time when they were letting Congressvermin have PR Checkrides to give Mr. Right Stuff himself a few hours in the B-model.

Isn't Gosling Canadian? How is that not cultural appropriation?
