Hollywood fiction replaced fact.

Rating: 8/10 (4 October 2003)

One super movie to watch but not to be believed. The original story was written by the real Adrian Cronauer. The movie did not follow the script and made significant changes as to what happened. I had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Cronauer speak and his comment on the movie was, "If I did half of what was portrayed, I'd still be in Leavenworth." He also stayed his full tour of duty, not truncated to six months as the movie indicates. Both are super personalities, Adrian Cronauer and Roger Williams. I salute both.
