They Were Expendable Customer Reviews   1     2     3   ♥♥♥♥♥ "This film was made possible by . . . . . . the Office of Strategic Management." (acknowledged during the credits) This gives you a clue about the reason for the making of this film at the (victorious) end of the war in 1945. Americans (I'm one) have short memories. Very short. The OSM judged there was adverse public reaction to the abandonment of the Philippines in 1942. The film counters, or blunts, the question, "why did we pull out when we won the war anyway?" Of course, the question is highly illogical but whoever said the general public is able to formulate logical questions? What is being "strategically managed" is the manipulation of public opinion. (I would have preferred giving a no-star review.)   1     2     3   Non User
