...Force insists it isn't the adultery that did Flinn in but disobeying an order and lying. Once again, it's the cover-up, not the crime. Why wasn't she given counseling, a reprimand or reassignment? At the same base where Flinn was being hounded, a lieutenant colonel having an affair with his secretary was given a reprimand and fined $4,600 last year.

Their psychological problems--derived from disastrous relationships with their fathers--reach a peak as they address Colonel Sanders' picture on a Kentucky Fried Chicken Bucket as if it were their fathers. The two give the box the evil eye--"Charlie's" instruction for killing someone--in the most hilarious moment of their laugh-filled scene. John Hinckley is much more somber, as a disturbed artist tyring...
