Q: Was Adrian Cronauer, on whom "Good Morning, Vietnam" was based, really sent home early from Vietnam as the movie portrays? Or did he serve out his time there?
According to the real Adrian Cronauer, if he had done some of the things his fictional counterpart did in the 1987 movie, "I'd still be in Leavenworth" (referring to the military prison in Kansas).
"It was never intended to be a point-by-point accurate biography," Cronauer told Military Times magazine in a 2014 interview. "It was intended to be a piece of entertainment, and it certainly was that. It was nominated for an Academy Award, and you don't get much better than that."

Biden today announced that over the coming year, the United States will donate 500 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine to 100 countries. This is based on an old American foreign policy strategy that used to be called "being nice." And, by the way, if we’re looking to give away stuff Americans aren’t going to use, we could probably donate about five million Pelotons, too!
