I remember reading that Donald Sutherland said that in all his years and with all his work, Oddball is the one he gets most people coming up and telling them how they are a big fans of. That dads and sons would come up and say they loved Kelly’s Heroes more than anything.

He also said a lot of armed forces guys who either knew tank teams or were part of them said it was probably one of the closest to reality character they had seen in film. They would come up and say ‘Man every guy I knew who operated tanks were really off kilter just like you in the movie. They were a weird bunch.”

It's hard not to when you lived through their rise. My grandparents used to cook with an actual fire fueled by wood. Now he's happily living off of his retirement installing auto fish feeders in his pond. He didn't work any fancy jobs either. He was just a factory worker in a tape factory. You just can't convince someone in his generation that the political party that brought him out of the shittest living conditions is somehow bad.
