They are parachuted into Pakistan and eventually end up in Afghanistan, chased by the Russians, where they learn they are being used as decoys to draw out the Sovet defenses.

The contingency plan for this scenario, as set out by the Pentagon Nuts who planned it from deep within a secret underground bunker, is to let the 3rd World War happen anyway.

I hadn’t seen this movie in almost 20 years. I used to watch bits and pieces of it when it was on HBO back in the mid 80’s. This was back when Chevy Chase was actually funny. I enjoyed watching it, but it just wasn’t as funny as I had remembered.
