A caracature of military life at the end of the Cold War
I had never heard of this movie until it was recommended to me by somebody who was stationed in my unit in Germany. My basic reason for purchasing the movie was to see recent pictures of where I was stationed -- Siegelsbach Army Depot. I was a "Tower Rat" there with the 556th Military Police Co.I found the movie to be a caracature of military life, and I found many of the situations a bit hard to believe, but there is such a thing as artistic license. Other reviewers have said that there is a "dark theme" to the movie, and I agree. HOWEVER, both my wife and I found the movie to be entertaining. This is not a movie for everybody, but I would recommend it especially for people who were stationed with the U S Army in Europe at any time during the past 30 years. You know, immediately after seeing this movie, I sent an e-mail to a friend in Cleveland and told him that he absolutely MUST see this movie.
