Costner's attempt at a New England accent was so pathetic as to be laughable-my wife and I both mentioned it at the same time while we were watching the film. It's a toss-up as to whether or not this one was worse than his equally bad English accent in Robin Hood:Prince of Thieves.The Gen. LeMay role was a complete caricature, as you noted-just a few ticks shy of Buck Turgidson (George C. Scott in Dr. Strangelove).
The whole thing struck me as a bit of a love letter to JFK, although Greenwood certainly did a fine job.
Follow Ups:
For some reason Hollywood cannot get the New England accent down. Only Ben affleck and Matt Damon and others from the area can do it.
Tom Hanks in "Catch Me if You Can" and Kevin Bacon in "Mystic River" are good examples of moviedom's general inability to master Bahston speech patterns and tonality.
