Probably the toughest guy in the world in the 70s. He could eat nails, eat glass and could ride a motorcycle upside down. Good actor, good friend, very gentle person–a gentleman."

That reminds me of the case during the Carolina Maneuvers in the buildup to WWII when a river crossing was held up for an hour by a few kids with a carbide cannon.
You can say the scenario depicted in the original Red Dawn (Cuba invading the US) was absolutely absurd, but I’m not really seeing the connection to Nazi propaganda. If anything, the movie gets you thinking about the mindset of people whose countries are being invaded, something that is quite worthwhile. During the Iraq War, I remember reading more than one blog posting reminding us that the Iraqi insurgents were the “Wolverines” from their own viewpoint and the US were the bad guys to them.

Be a wolverine. You’ll rule the hills
Just get some guns and Cheerios
Any kid can conquer Libya
Just steal a fighter plane
Look who came home in a wheelchair
V.A. Hospital, they don’t care
“We’re the machine
You’re just a tool.”
Who fell for the myth of Rambozo the Clown
