There was a huge, tremendous amount of disabled veterans and the Veteran's Administration just wasn't geared up for it. I know for a fact that it's getting better and better. |
Everybody respects the Vietnam Veterans of America. |
There have been a lot of changes in recruit training in the past twenty years. |
Kubrick ate it up. He loved it. He just let me go crazy. |
The best part about the movie, and everybody seems to rave about it, is the boot camp part. |

I've never had to spend any time in the VA hospital, so I really can't speak for those guys. |
I don't have any respect at all for the scum-bags who went to Canada to avoid the draft or to avoid doing their fair share. |
I go the VA Hospital when I have a problem and the doctor jumps on me. |
