...Soviet Screwtape writes about listless and corrupt clergy in minute details that could only have been gleaned from a broad network of informants. The aging Archbishop of Stavropol (who died shortly after the report was written) receives special mention because his sermons are "quite brief and not very impressive." In prose more typical of anticlerical Russian folk tales, there are accounts of priests "possessed by profane passions," or who use foul language and drink excessively...
Also, the crowds just don't rate anymore. Last night's attendance was a listless 2059, a far cry from the Standing-Room-Only gang of shriekers and groaners two years ago, including a fair number of Harvard followers.

After losing his job, his car and his girlfriend in that order. Winger, along with his sidekick Russell Zisky (Ramis), decides to join the Army simply because he is too lazy to do anything else. The problems quickly (and predictably) begin when Winger--an incessant clown--meets up with the brass of the United States Military...
