Twelve O clock HIgh

I thought 12 o clock high was a very compelling movie. Its shows a lot of Machiavellian Rules. Shows when a new prince come to the base is it to make a statement that will be seen throughout the base, and that is to punish someone (one of the troops) on base. The Leper Colony was a B17 that which was commanded and run by those of the outfit that werent up to standards as the others, they were put in the group to be made an example of as Machiavelli said " you must punish the troops to gain respect" . As the head General comes to the base he tries to change law and rules that were there before him. This is also another Machiavellian Rule, you must keep law and taxes that exist and not change them if you wish to keep control of the colony. At first the General tries and then realizes he is going to lose his position and the crew are going to revolt if he keeps this up. The movie i thought was great, classic, humorous, and very interesting.
