It\u2019s November 21, 1963.

But when Corporal Eddie Birdlace<\/em> meets Rose<\/em>, an awkward and idealistic waitress he enlists to win a cruel bet with his fellow recruits, she rewrites the rules of the game and teaches him the power of compassion.<\/p>\n The whole damn world might change tomorrow.
