6/10
close enough for government work

This is a very strange movie, and the three year tour in Germany in the late 70s combined with my father's immediate post war stories, make me feel that little in this movie was unbelievable. Parts may have been grossly exaggerated, but as an acquaintance said recently, "In Germany, it could happen". I guess there has always been a somewhat uneasy relationship between the Germans and the US Army. Saying that the Old Army (pre 1980) was a bunch of choir boys would be a lie. We were a bunch of hard living individuals and the terrible exchange rate there really did lead to certain activities. The army has changed a lot since then, when I first joined we were looked down upon by civilians, now your treated like some hero. A sequel would be difficult to believe, a prequel on the other hand could make this look like a Kindergarten movie
