“See, you gotta make my bunk. See, we’re in Italy. The guy on the top bunk...has gotta make the guy on the bottom’s bed all the time. It’s in the regulations. If we were in Germany...I would have to make yours. But we’re in Italy, so you’ve gotta make mine. It’s regulations.”

1981 vs 1989, that was late in the Cold War; the point is, it's not the same Europe. Glad the USSR is dead, and my thanks to you and others who served, and of course, President Ronald Reagan, who led us to Bush I's victory.

“It’s like going into Wisconsin...” I was a junior in HS living in northern Illinois when the movie came out. To this day, it is the funniest movie line I’ve ever heard.

Then, several years later, I did Basic Training at Ft. Knox in the very same areas seen in Stripes. Epic!
