It is an anti-war movie. Disrespectful to the military. Full of stereotypes.

I absolutely love the movie. Just brilliant.

And I know a lot of military/ex-military folks who feel as I do!

This retired pilot loves the movie. And I hate/loathe/spit upon, and hope to take a bodacious dump on the graves of today’s military “leaders”.

If a person was in Strategic Air Command it was almost mandatory for Dr. Strangelove to be on of your top five movies.

I saw the movie when I was in Junior High School and it was instantly one of my favorites.

My father, who was a career officer in the Air Force loved the movie. Watching it with him was like having an expert commentary.

There was speculation that both General Ripper and Gen. Turgidson were based partly on Curtis Lemay. Not sure if that was true or not. However, my father was friends with Gen. Lemay, and I'm sure there was nothing to be offended about. It was satire, of course, and having a clever sense of humor about nuclear annihilation would have been quite handy for the Air Force brass back in the early 60's.

Incidentally, Peace is Our Profession was the actual motto of the Strategic Air Command. There's no way Kubrick could have made that one up!
