Not so bad at all, 28 December 2002
Author: nieltje from Middelrode, Netherlands

the weird thing about A Soldiers Sweetheart is that it's worth watching it. if you say that it's stupid to get your girl to 'Nam, you're right, but that's the gimmick. it makes the story interesting. the movie is not so bad at all. it's quite enjoyable actually. thumbs up for Kiefer Sutherland and Skeet Ulrich! I really want to recommend this movie to anybody who hasn't seen it yet!
