Three Sacrifices for Practicing Law | Texas Lawyer - Law.com

Private Benjamin is a 1980 comedy with Goldie Hawn (for a new generation, she’s the mother of Kate Hudson) in the title role of Judy Benjamin, a good natured, affluent, newly widowed young woman who—on a flyer—joins the Army after speaking to a quota driven recruiter. Rough and tumble boot camp is definitely not what she was promised. So, taking a reasonable tone, she tells Captain Lewis, her drill instructor:
