J . toet SPECIAL STAKE ON CONEINEMENT III, IINALS ISSUE VOLUME LVII The Virginia Military InsUtiilc, Lcxinglon, Virginia, Eriday, April 2, 1971 Number 2r) Blood & Guls BKAMLET It's A Cock - Eyed 1^1 under I R a i i ^ e r s F i f r J i t Harvard Appoints French As FTX Tnumplis ^ i (n a reccnt scoop, thr intrepid news staff of the VMi Cadet di.s-covercd that VMI's Cecil B. Dc- Mllle, General Frank McCarthy, is planning a new movie based on his Smasheroo hit Palton. The f'adel was able to get this exelu •sivo interview, The movie, to be based on the life of one of America's, as well as VMI's greatst warriors, will be called BRAMLET. General McCarthy, in his intei-view, had this to say of his forth coming epic, "I feel that this anti-hero trend in the movie picture industrj' has come to a halt. 1 think it's about time we rcturne<! to glorifying the true American man and a .soldier like Col. Brani let is .iust the hero our country needs." Col. Bramlet was one of the American Army's greatest leaders in the conflict that has become known as the "Big One," the war waged by the Tactical stalT and the infamous Kadet Korps. The movie, BRAMLET will cover his fiery, and often stormy career from his fam-ous "mad dash" haircut inspection before Christmas furlough in the winter of 1970, to the dark dayi following his famous "drink heard round the world" which almost brought his Army career to a halt by forcing him to leave VMI prior to gaining his Commission. Brum-let's hell bent for leather, spit and polish, wildly reactionary charac-ter, as well as his colorful language has made him a favorite with re-porters. Perhaps the highest point in liis career came during liis sec-ond lour in Vietnam, in which lie shot a correspondent from A.ssoeiat-ed f're.s.s. "Hell," he laughed, blow-ing the smoke from his revolver, "1 thought the long haired freak wa!> a water buffalo!" Alwa.vs anxious to attract young men to follow in liis footsteps. Col. Bramlet has convinced hun-dreds of cadets to sign up for their regular army commissions with his echoing promise of "Join the Army, fellows. That's where the broads If BRAMLET is the box olfice suc-cess it promises to be. General McCarthy plans to make an entire .series of epic motion pictures of VMI heros. Next in the scries will be DILLARD, to be followed by STACY. Still in the planning stages are FRENCH, IIERZCOVJGII, and DADDY O. The leading role in BRAMLET will, of course, be played by John Wayne. Dramlel's comical sidekick, Major Jan Gray, will be played by either Don Knotts or Wally Cox, depending on whether or not either nf them will be willing to demean themselves by taking the part. Other inlernationally famous thes-pians playing in BRAMLET will include Hugh Beaumont. Barbara liillingsiey, Tony Dow and Jerry Mathers as Captain Donsbaeh. (Ill".-Army News Service) The !
