Based on a true story, "Good Morning, Vietnam" starred Robin Williams as Adrian Cronauer, an anti-war funny man, disk jockey who regaled the soldiers with his amusing rants against the establishment and how ugly Lyndon Johnson's daughters were while playing classic rock and roll.
Welcome to the liberal-left reality show, where "based on a true story" means it may vaguely--very vaguely resemble the truth.
In real life, Adrian Cronauer served his term out in Vietnam, played some rock music, became a lawyer and chaired the Bush-Cheney reelection committee. Hardly anti-war, Cronauer has been a life-long Republican.
Jeff Kelly documents seven Hollywood films that are complete bull. Worth the read.
