I Used to Like this Film Until ...


I joined the Army and went back and watched it. Dudes with beards, long hair, firing blank rounds at each other, no apparent concept of tactics or military bearing ... what kind of outfit was this? I know they are NG but even they would have had some ex active duty dudes in their ranks. I can't watch this any more. It's too insulting.

You are aware that this film takes place in 1973, right? And, they were not the real army. They were national guards.

Sgt. Poole was ex-active but he bought it in scene I.
