Plot
Ghosts of Les Cherise is an intense, paranoid, psychological thriller held against the backdrop of World War II. Set in southern France, in the late stages of Operation Cobra, Ghosts of Les Cherise tells the story of Lieutenant Moorley, an untested officer, fresh off the boat and naive to the horrors of war. We meet him at the beginning of a brief skirmish that marks his first experience with real violence. After the conflict the novice lieutenant finds himself left behind to guard a strategically important bridge. In charge for the first time in his life, Moorley must learn to deal with a first sergeant of questionable mental stability, and a disturbingly Machiavellian second sergeant. The lieutenant is just beginning to come to terms with his command when the Germans attack; though he is victorious in battle, all of the rations are destroyed, most of the ammunition is spent, and worst of all, he loses the majority of his men. Struggling with his own fears, and the guilt of surviving when so many under him did not, Moorley attempts to maintain control, both over his men, and over his own mind. We find reality and perception increasingly difficult to distinguish, but it is not until the last moments of the film that we come to understand the true meaning of all that has transpired, and the true nature of the battle that lieutenant Moorley has been waging.

General Clinton: I pray that on the march to New York, Washington attacks us. I'll turn on him and crush him in one blow. Then let the French try to save him.

[addressing a meeting of mutiny-minded soldiers]::Gen. George Washington: Gentlemen, you'll permit me to put on my spectacles, as I have grown not only grey but also blind in the service of my country.
John Jay (December 12, 1745 – May 17, 1829) was an American statesman, Patriot, diplomat, a Founding Father of the United States, and the first Chief Justice of the United States (1789–95).
Jay was born into a wealthy family of merchants and government officials in New York City. He became a lawyer and joined the New York Committee of Correspondence, and organized opposition to British rule. He joined a conservative political faction that, fearing "mob rule", sought to protect property rights and maintain the "rule of law" while resisting British violations of human rights.
Jay served as the President of the Continental Congress from 1778 to 1779. During and after the American Revolution, Jay was a minister (ambassador) to Spain and France, helping to fashion United States foreign policy. His major diplomatic achievement was to negotiate favorable trade terms with Great Britain in the Jay Treaty of 1794.
Jay, a proponent of strong, centralized government, worked to ratify the new Constitution in New York in 1788 by anonymously writing a few of the Federalist Papers, along with the main authors Alexander Hamilton and James Madison.
The white lion is occasionally found in wildlife reserves in South Africa and is a rare colour mutation of the Kruger subspecies of lion (Panthera leo krugeri). It has been perpetuated by selective breeding in zoos around the world. White lions are not yet a separate subspecies and they have been said to be indigenous to the Timbavati region of South Africa for centuries, although the earliest recorded sighting in this region was 1938. Regarded as divine by locals, white lions first came to public attention in the 1970s in Chris McBride's book The White Lions of Timbavati. Up until 2009, when the first pride of white lions was reintroduced to the wild, it was widely believed that the white lion could not survive in the wild. It is for this reason that, now, a large part of the population of white lions are in zoos. Another large part, however, are bred in camps, for canned hunting trophies.
It is hard to determine exactly how many white lions there are today, because they are held in captive breeding and hunting operations which don't keep adequate records. Based on available evidence, The Global White Lion Protection Trust estimate there are 500 White Lions world-wide.
