I literally just sent my write-up for Stripes in, lol. Here's what I wrote:

It goes on for too long, the humor can be dated, and the finale where the recruits face actual military conflict is a mess, but I found this film about Bill Murray and Harold Ramis slackers trying to make it in the army pretty amusing. Lots of great line readings courtesy of the great Bill Murray and you cant help but root for the scrappy privates as they overcome of the disrespect of their commanders and become semi-disciplined soldiers. Not sure Id call it a satire though, since it doesnt really subvert the image of the military, MASH or even Full Metal Jacket might have been a better choice.

In hindsight, I think I overranked it by a couple points, not that it would change anything.
