Sgt. Bilko

"All he ever wanted was an honest week's pay for an honest day's work."

The US army is known for churning out lean mean fighting machines intent on protecting our great nation. Sergeant Ernie Bilko is the leader of a ragtag group of the sorriest soldiers ever to enlist in the armed forces.
