The above is an actual quote spoken by the British regarding our soldiers back in World War II. The American retort was: "The Brits are underpaid, undersexed, and under Eisenhower." It was a common complaint about the American soldiers in Britain at the time. Yanks dramatizes this perfectly. That was why it was stressed upon American GIs in the usual stateside training film to be polite at all times toward their British hosts. American soldiers usually found love in Britain. If they had a girl back home, and met a British girl, they'd send their girl back home a "Dear Jane" letter. This is the background of the movie. The movie shows Americans arriving in Britain. Then as it continues, it goes toward the inevitable, which is the invasion of Normandy. That's where it ends. It ends with the Americans being confined to their bases as Operation Overlord is about to begin. That's it. I'm done. If you want to know more, see the movie. I'm not about to spoil it for you. I first saw it back in 1983.
