Why Isn’t It Possible?
There is a new movie about to be released, and the storyline has caught my imagination. It sounded like a dumb story at first, but then I learned it’s a true story. Now, just because its true doesn’t mean it can’t also be a terrible plot line for a movie. This one is about John “Chickie” Donohue and his beer run. See what I mean?! But, when you get into the story, it’s good. “Chickie” is a Marine veteran working as a merchant seaman in 1967 during the Vietnam war. During a conversation with friends at a bar (always leads to trouble!), they talk about going to Vietnam and delivering a case of beer to their buddies fighting the war as a show of support. Terrible idea. Imagine traveling from the United States to Vietnam to deliver beer in the middle of a war to six friends in active duty, and you don’t even know where they are….Impossible!!!
