Great movie. Sutherland and Gould at their best. I really liked Sally Kellerman too....."Hot Lips" Houlihan.

I saw the movie when it first came out in theaters. Just sayin, some haven’t . Awesome movie. It was used to be sad/creepy. Without the lyrics totally diff effect.

Known that for decades. The dentist was nicknamed "Painless", and they faked him out when he tried to off himself.

There is either a purpose for us being here or there isn't. If the latter then nothing will matter later. If the former then best not to usurp that purpose.

Seems more die from suicide after their service than actually during it...almost 18 a day..
War is such a useless tragic endeavor these days spurred on by our manipulating leaders..usually served up on a plate of patriotism against some cause or another..

Some truth to that. See, we can agree on certain subjects. Usually common logic. It's not only that some give their only life (one way or another) for the purpose of humanity, but to give it to some gutless twig arm in a suit who thinks we're disposable for their political image is absurd. Like someone played with plastic army men way too long.

First heard the haunting acoustic lines when I was a kid, when the series first came out. Never heard the actual SONG until years later, even MORE haunting
