For me, it was when they were clueless as to what a Flank is.

The scene where the sort of famous, but not really famous famous, young movie stars overact and make dramatic aspects corny. The scene, of course, being the entire movie. A lot of the corniness, not all of it, can be chalked-up to the propaganda and overly-patriotic sentiment of the author, as well as the political smoke & mirrors and flag-waving hyperbole of the era itself. With all of the acting in the White House taking place at that time, the bar for acting in the movie could be set kind of low.

I always giggle when Swayze yells at them all to stop crying after seeing the people shot firing squad style (and yes, the part where they start singing is funny as well). He says something like, "STOP CRYING! TURN IT INTO SOMETHING ELSE!
TURN IT INTO SOMETHING ELSE!
"

I saw this at Fort Sill, Oklahoma in October 1984. (I had just completed basic training for the National Guard) Everyone in the theatre laughed when the guys fire an anti-tank weapon and the guy gets fried by the backblast. That's when I realized Uncle Sam had warped me more than I had thought.

When he was telling his underlings to gather up the gun licenses in the gun stores. Very hilarious, nobody in the military would even care, but they did it to underscore how evil the Russians were, takin our guns away!

The reason Bella said that is because he used to fight on the side of the insurgents. So he wanted to cut down the chance of people starting up a group of insurgents here.
