There is so much in there about postwar American life that our elders apparently didn't think was important enough to remember. One scene that sticks out for me in this regard is between Al and his son right after he returns home. He is showing his war trophies, a Japanese flag and a sword, with the clear implication that he killed their owner(s) to get them. He thinks his son will be thrilled to have them, but the son just seems uncomfortable and says that his teachers have told them how important family and honor are to the Japanese. Al just passes it off with a sarcastic remark something like "Oh, we Americans wouldn't know anything about that" and the scene is over. So even then the progressives had infested the school systems and were indoctrinating the young to see the country's enemies favorably.
