DEMI Moore tried to enlist the Commander-in-Chief in her battle to win the Navy’s cooperation in filming G. I. Jane, but her phone call was rerouted to the Pentagon. Mike McCurry later explained that the President regretted having missed her call about the movie, “particularly when he heard that it would feature her in a diving uniform.”
President Clinton’s military subordinates would be keelhauled for voicing such lecherous thoughts about Miss Moore’s comely character, Navy Lt. Jordan O’Neil, in Walt Disney’s cartoonish depiction of gender-integrated special-operations training. In fact, Navy personnel are under specific instructions to express no thoughts at all about the top-grossing movie. Many military men have inadvertently joined the boycott against the Disney Company by refusing to see G. I. Jane, and public-affairs officers will merely explain mechanically that the Navy refused to provide technical assistance because the movie represents an “unrealistic portrayal of today’s Navy.”
