#3 Hollywood took a lot of liberties. What's new?

The movie was O.K. The true story is far more interesting.

#4 The movie was funny ... but as for portraying the real operations of a military radio station? Some day, when I have oodles of time and nothing else to do, I may fisk it down to the sub-atomic level.
Good Morning, Vietnam came out when I was stationed in Spain - and all the AFRTS staff went to see it in the base theater, and were kind of disappointed in the inaccuracies, and in that among us, we knew of far wilder,grosser, funnier things which happened in the studios of stations we had worked in.
