Review: Movie Review: The General's Daughter;
Well, Paramount
apparently want progressively minded moviegoers to know that it can be
politically correct, and that it really cares about who can serve in the
military. It goes as far as women in the military (and sexual harassment in
the military). The plot, though, is a bit preposterous. A
general will cover up the gang-rape of his own daughter at True, the scene where a A Few Good Men (discussed in DADT Chapter 4) is a much
better film about the modern military. But, the reckless male heterosexual
behavior in this movie would lead one to believe, that "heterosexuality
is incompatible with military service."
