Gee, its great to be back home...., 30 August 2009
7/10
Author: Raegan Butcher from Raincity, Pacific Northwest

A bus dumps our returning veterans back into the United States while mournful country & western plays. Joe Don Baker channels Elvis Presley with his puffy-eyed, thick-lipped pouting while their homecoming falls apart around them. A Cadillac is procured. A road trip out west is on the itinerary, where dreams await. At every stop along the way, something happens to dampen the enthusiasm of the returning heroes. Locals cheat them at every turn and grumble about the war. "Back when we fought a war, we didn't come home til the war was OVER!" growls a gang of grumpy Korean War Vets while Joe Don Baker does the slow burn.Things come to a head during a stop in New Mexico when our boys take all the crap they can swallow and explode in a killing frenzy.
