Gere and Winger play this nonsense as if neither one of them had ever seen an old-fashioned military romance, and bless their youthful innocence, perhaps they haven't.

Seventy percent said the state of the nation is poor, which is marginally more pessimistic than the 68% response at the same point in Jimmy Carter's presidency. Almost 60% said they felt things are going badly or very badly in the country right...
