The general apologised because it WAS his fault. He says it in the next scene: "I covered for you many times."

@ricksimon9867 No how the a-hole Sgt. Major set him up to go into a VC hot zone. How Cronauer's friend affiliated with him. Making it a catch .22 for Adrian.

Like a typical E-9, he thinks he runs the world. In this case, I'd let him keep thinking it. Getting out of Vietnam a week after you got there AND an honorable discharge is gift. Take that and run. It will be even sweeter to find out that Dickerson was fired as Command Sgt. Major and reassigned to somewhere he absolutely doesn't want to go.

[@Skank_and_Gutterboy]

You'd also think that Mr. 4.0's uniform would be pressed with military creases, not looking like it came straight out of the dryer. Maybe dry-cleaners are hard to find in 'Nam, even Saigon, but I'd expect him to at least own an iron.

The funny thing is, if you watch only this scene, you would have to agree with the Sgt. Maj. 100%. But only until you watch the movie and realise that he just deliberately sent Cronauer in harm's way.

[@Skank_and_Gutterboy]

He also violated Cronauer's rights when he told him that he has no right to submit a grievance ("I'll take this to the authorities." "I am the authorities!"). This guy is a garbage Sgt. Major, no wonder he got fired and stuck out on some island in the Pacific. This guy is no officer, so he's not the last word on a damn thing.

[@tyyip1829]

I was living in the city of Hong Kong when the movie came out, it took an extra three months for the local production team to do the chinese subtitles and they had to re-write all of Robin's jokes for the local audience who had not the slightest idea about a baseball game or who the hell Nixon was!

[@80763pm]

I watched the Russian version, it is absolutely dull in terms of conveying humor, but Dickerson's voice acting is excellent. Similar to the voice of Dr. Killjoy from the game "The Suffering".

Hey, Dickerson, your blue cord is 0ver the wrong shoulder. Hollywood's lack of military knowledge.

As a U.S. Marine vet. who was in country with 2/7 Nov. 13th '67 thru Jan. 31st '69 I didn't think much of this movie but I did get a kick out of the real Airman DJ saying in interviews that anyone who was in Vietnam or even in the military during this time period understands that any one of the many antics RW's portrays in the movie would have been grounds for a court martial and time in the Brig. In other words it was just a made up movie.

[@sgt.thundercok4704]

Thank you for your service. And I agree.

[@Skank_and_Gutterboy]

As much as I thought the Sgt. Major was a total dink, he was right on the money the way he chewed out Cronauer when he checked in off leave wearing something resembling a dress. I would've asked him, "So I guess you decided to ditch the babushka that came with this get-up?" Wearing an Air Force uniform hat with it is downright disrespectful. I don't know if that's grounds for NJP or not but I'd bet money a guy would wind up on restriction and extra-duty at the very least. I would expect him to be spending his evenings and weekends scrubbing floors and toilets for the next month to help him get centered. And Dickerson was right about Cronauer's need to stay off his radar, 99% of the time high-level attention is bad. The fact that the Vietnamese kid that Cronauer befriended wound up being a VC terrorist is not far-fetched in the slightest, that's why you don't consort with them. That was a time and place when the VC were sending 8 year old kids with shoe-shine boxes loaded with explosives to take out American GIs. Frequenting bars off-base seems like a bad idea.
