Needs Cleanup
editThe time elements in this article are severely jumbled. For example, it discusses Cronauer's present-day activities, then says, "Cronauer later became a senior partner...." It could use a cleanup from someone familiar with Cronauer or who can make sense of what's here. Darguz Parsilvan 01:43, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
"A right-wing lunatic..." ? Hardly NPOV.

It also doesn't actually mention that he was a DJ in Vietnam. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.91.75.30 (talk) 13:28, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
The guy's most famous for being the inspiration for the Robin Williams movie, "Good Morning, Vietnam." Yet the article says nothing about this period in his life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.30.225.204 (talk) 19:55, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Specifically, we could use some detail on Cronauer's "detour" on Route 1 to An Loc, in which the movie indicates that the NCO supervising him intentionally sent him into enemy-controlled territory (without warning him or the unit's CO). This would be actionable behavior on the part of the NCO concerned under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and is actually the reason I searched Cronauer's name in Wikipedia.vfrickey (talk) 20:41, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Military service
editI came here looking for details about Cronauer's military service and found nothing. How can that be? Binksternet (talk) 03:52, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
