Good stuff

My best friend and I saw this in theaters a few months before we shipped off to basic training. This and the TV show "MASH" were my impressions of the army and when I got in I immediately started looking for the Hawkeyes and Bill Murrays. Unfortunately, I found that the Army is actually filled with the Frank Burns and Captain Stillmans of the world.
Anyway it's a funny flick with numerous classic one-liners: "We're not homosexual, but we are willing to learn", "I wanna party with you cowboy", "Were Americans...you know what that means? Our ancestors were kicked out of every decent country in the world", "See, if we were in Germany I'd have to make your bed", "Aunt Jemimah treatment", "Arrrrmy training sir", and of course "That's the fact, Jack!".
Sometimes you forget how funny Bill Murray really is, then you watch this or "Ground Hog Day" and you are nicely reminded. Oh yeah, the magazine/newspaper covers were great.
