Full Metal Jacket Full Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects
For HIstorical Tuesday this week, Andrew Gordon & Aaron Alexander give their FIRST TIME Reaction, Commentary, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review for the Biting Vietnam War Epic Directed by Stanley Kubrick (2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining, Eyes Wide Shut) and starring Matthew Modine (Cut Throat Island, The Dark Knight Rises), R. Lee Ermey (Se7en, Toy Story), Vincent D'Onofrio (Daredevil, Men in Black, Arliss Howard (The Lost World: Jurassic Park), & more!

This film reflects the more harsh & contemplative view of international War Cinema, looking starkly toward the mental toll & human cost incurred by the hell of Combat.

They beat the magazine on their helmet to make sure the springs are loose to push the rounds up in the chamber when loaded. Sometime they end up going through alot of muck, sand, dirt, and mud which can build up in the magazines and cause the springs to malfunction. Also the scene where they find the bodies was an all too common discovery once the southern vietnam forces/us forces would liberate cities/town from the south vietnamese. They round up anyone who believed would not cooperate or spread doubt about the communist occupation either ship them out to north vietnam prison camps for torture/reducation or just be executed. Vice Versa....one this was done the south vietnamese would implement their own people and local sympathizers as replacement for local leadership and officials. And then the south vietnamese would jail them and execute them as well for being traitors. One of the most infamous piece of media from the war when an ARVN General executed a Viet Cong Captain after part of saigon was liberated. just look up "famous vietnam execution". Its called the Saigon Execution. It was recorded by us war correspondent and played internationally for the whole world to see.
Fun Fact: The Simpsons debuted on the Tracy Ullman show 2 months before this film came to theaters.
LET ME SEE YOUR WAR FACE!
Hi, i want see you react to CHiPs from 2017, its a police humor film of the CHP, with Dax Shepard and Michael Peña, maybe Tara likes It,because she likes vehicule movies,because of the wonderful motorcycles(BMW)
Great movie but “Apocalypse now” really hit the emotions at all things of the war. The Director’s cut is the longest but best version to watch.
Rest In Peace
To R Lee Ermey 1944-2018
I always called him
Army Ermey because his name R Lee sounds like Army.
Rest in Peace R Lee Ermey
Greetings from Helsinki, Finland🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
Drinking beer and swapping stories with Chesty no doubt.
to GUNNY!
SIR! Rest in peace, SIR!
My dad was a drill instructor at Camp Pendleton (69-71) after he finished a 16 month tour of duty in Vietnam. He says that the boot camp scenes are extremely accurate. I was born in June of 1970 and it’s crazy for me to think that this was his job when I was a baby. 🤯 My mom said he was a very hands on dad, making me breakfast before he left for the drill field and reading to me at bedtime every night. ❤
He’s 76 now will watch it anytime it’s on tv.
Drill Sergeants don’t lose their voice. They are taught to scream. It’s almost like singing. R. Lee. Emery was supposed to be a technical adviser but when Kuberick saw how he was he made him the drill sergeant. He was also an actual drill sergeant for the Marines.
R. Lee did replace original drill srgt actor, who was given another role as a helicopter gunner shooting Vietnamese civilians.
*Drill Instructor.
Drill Sergeants are Army. Drill Instructors are Marines.
Sorry. I was in the Army. Didn’t know that what they were called.
@@donaldmacias4634 lol same here. I was a 68W.
I just be bored sometimes lol.
@@donovanb9020 THANK YOU I was about to make the correction *LOL* It s an easy mistake to make for most people, unless you were in. 😅 Urah.
Btw the drill instructor wasnt an actor (at that specific time), he was the real deal. He also made up those lines and insults, hes a legend.
He is both. He have been a bunch of movies.
@osculim yeah like he didn't just happen to show up for saving Silverman
He turned in a audition tape of himself Yelling and swearing for 20 mins nonstop loff the top of his head. He was hired
@@Nastyn1nja808no he didn't.
He had appeared in and advised on movies before this movie.
Someone who works as an actor, is an actor.
Lime is the shortened form of quicklime, which is the common name for calcium carbonate. It's a mineral compound that both masks the smell of a decomposing body & enhances the rate at which said body decomposes. It's often used to try & hide a burial, indicating that an attempt was made to hide that gravesite.
Just for info, it wasn't new. The Nazis used it a lot during their genocidal 'Final Solution' programme.
“I bet he’s going to be best out of all of them”
😂
Perhaps in a conventional film. But not a Kubrick film!
Ummmmm......
Yeah, that line made me think, "Oh no.."
We'll if you're one of those people who believe that Animal Lover was Pyle, then yes, he did. (I'm one of the people)
@@JCShadow0202 Wait, there are people who think Pyle didn’t die?
Whenever I’m feeling down, Full Metal Jacket will always be a reminder that things can always get worse, much worse.
Whenever I feel like giving up and quitting at anything, I just imaging Hartman screaming at me, " _Are you quitting on ME??? Then QUIT you slimy walrus looking piece of shit!!!!_ "
Private "Pyle" was a representation of the 100,000 program of 1966. It reduced standards for the draft to such a degree that the mentally handicapped easily slipped through.
Sad how often it still happens. They need better vetting for recruits.
@jasondavis2995 While I completely agree with you the unfortunate reality is that all branches of the military are experiencing a severe recruitment crisis and thus standards are lax.
Not exactly "slipped through". They lowered the standards on purpose to allow people like Pyle to actually pass.
@@jasondavis2995 It doesn't often happen at all. Standards are reduced off and on, with a specific Branch really reducing at times, but it has never invoked the 100,000.
Could you imagine the woke kids today in that boot camp?🤣🤣
Kind of weird that they get freaked out way more by "offensive words" over the horrors of war. 🤔
Almost kinda snowflake-ish!🤨
@chrisbanks6659 nah, a snowflake is someone who get offended that racist and demeaning language is going out of style. . .I mean, imagine being butt hurt because you can't walk around using slurs freely anymore lol
@@Strider91 free speech is not meant to protect popular speech. I would rather have a racist speak freely than hide it. 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Ironically they get so much more backlash for being offended rather than if they just went with the times these movies were made 😂
@43:47 It’s to both seat the rounds in the back of the magazine and get rid of any loose dirt/sand, both hopefully leading to less jams.
Came here to say this
And you tap to the rear to make sure they haven't slid forward, which can also cause a jam.
👍👍
Also if the spring is jammed it could possibly unjam it
Yes today they have anti-tilt followers.
His name is pronounced ER-MEE! He was an actual Marine drill instructor and was just supposed to be a tech advisor but ended up on camera..... and all the better for it. My grandfather (a Viet Nam vet) and I went to see this in the theater and he had to leave because it was too authentic for his nerves.... which I've heard was said by many other vers who saw this film. Thanks for sharing guys.
Vincent Donofrio is incredible. His filmography goes far beyond The Marvelverse! The 13th floor, Steal this Movie! and not one edgar suit reference for shame!!!!
I think his appearance in Homicide Life on the Street is one of his best performances.
He gets the kubrick stair
Strange days
Yes,they looped the dialogue from that scene into 2 Live Crew's "Me So Horny"..And a legend was born!
Yeah, I finally saw this movie way after the song came out and was like, “oh snap” 💀
That’s what we call a blanket party
That's what my dad, a Marine that went in in 1954 called it. I didn't hear the term Code Red until A Few Good Men.
@@Falcun21 Same. I've only known it to be called a "blanket party" I was in in the late 90's early 2000's, but it never happened during the time I was in [as far as I know]. Hazing was highly punishable... If reported...
Navy calls them sockpartys.
Correct! I was stationed in Guantanamo Bay in '87-'88 and I never heard the term "Code Red" used.
88-92 Sand Hill Basic.....Blanket party....
You keep saying the 70s this takes place 67/68, the Tet offense was January 68
He said a full metal jacket would be pretty heavy, I DIED! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know right, I rewinded it and watched it again..😂😂
"Did your parents have any children that lived?!" I'll never not die laughing at the sheer abruptness of that line.
I'm one of the people that watch only the boot camp portion of the movie. I think I've only finished this movie three times. XD
48:45 One of the most important rules in combat: if you didn't put it down, do **not** pick it up.
That line was also said by Teddy in "Stand by me"
It's not called racism in the military it's brutal brotherhood
USMC Vet here, the boot camp scenes are pretty accurate! But Private Pile would have been gone fairly quick, we started out with 65 recruits in our platoon finished with 48 for graduation, remember Marines have two birthday’s NOV 10th (founding of the Marine Crops) and the day your born. I’m 68 now and still remember boot camp. Semper Fi
Semper Fi! MCRD San Diego in the summer of 1981...... 💯🤙🏽
Thank you for your service
Semper Fi ! Thanks for your service 🙏🏽
Thank you for your service.
I was born on the Marine Corps birthday. Thank you for your service. My father was / is (?) A Marine, He's still alive.
Dude stop referencing other movies bc Aaron ain’t seen shit! 😂
The tapping of the magazine on something hard (helmet in this case) is to make sure that the rounds are as far towards the back of the magazine.
It's supposed to mitigate jamming
Tell me you’re not ready to watch a filmed based in the 60’s without telling me you’re not ready to watch a film based in the 60’s. 😂
Yeah, the secondhand embarrassment was like watching Game of Thrones with your parents
Those 2 girls are emblematic of their generation. They wouldn't last a week in the 60s. I know,.. i was there
Section 8, basically a way to discharge a soldier due to physiological issues, you be surprised how many can;t cut it, when I went through basic annd AIT we had 4 section 8 they typically started on sucide watch and then were discharge due to mental problems
Psychological issues, not physiological. Mental/emotional, not physical.
Yeah but Section 8 of which Regulation/Publication?
@@Ryan_Christopher to be honest i don't remeber have not been in the miltary and have not had to think about any UCMJ or Army Regulations since 1999 sure i could google it or use Ai and get the asnwer but really I don;t want to, and I find most of my regulation and UCMJ incidents are best left forgotten lol
"I do not look down on ... ... here you are all equally worthless."
Say it.
@@K-dawg26 say what?
R. Lee Ermey was originally hired as a technical advisor. He REALLY wanted to play Hartman. He made Kubrick a TWENTY PLUS MINUTE "demo tape" of himself yelling insults and DIing. He never repeated an insult, per legend. He got cast as Hartman.
The actor originally cast as Hartman was recast as the door gunner on the Screaming Mimi helicopter when Joker and Rafterman were flying up to Hue City.
R. Lee Ermey was the real deal! His story is the best one from this film! "This is my rifle, this is my gun..." is my ringtone! 😂😂😂 RIP to one of the greats!
I was in Jr. High in the early 70s. We had to climb the rope every day with a thin foam pad to break a fall. This movie is so intense and is referenced for a lot. And yes, R. Lee Emery the Drill Instructor was indeed a real DI and Marine. His acting career came after this performance.
I would also suggest watching, "The Boys in Company C." That movie is where I first saw R. Lee Emery. It came out in 1978 and I thought his performance in that film as a drill instructor felt VERY real.
@@757GLG , yes that’s a good one for sure!
The constant squirming over the language in this movie is silly. Seems a little performative.
That's what happens when soyboys watch a mans movie.
One of the nuances that gets ignored is how animal mother shows signs of being racist, but as soon as something happens to 8Ball he’s willing to sacrifice everything to save him.
Racist?? Please explain.
@@johnbrodnik839please explain how he's not. . .
Who the hell let these two children watch this movie made for adults?
IKR? Magnetism depolarized to the max. Snowflakes. Prob don't know s*** about the Vietnam War. I'm 61 and British but know enough......... and it wasn't even our war!!!!
This platoon, Born on the 4th of July, Hamburger Hill, 84 Charlie Mopic, & Casualties of war were the movies that displays the horrors and triumphs of the Vietnam War.
Hamburger Hill is a rough, gritty one.
My library includes "Flight of the Intruder", because I am a plane nerd.
R Lee Ermy had complete freedom for his drill instructor role. He made up all of that on the spot. Also lime can be used to cover the smell and help slow decomposition of bodies. It was very common to be used in wars where casulaties were high and you needed to bury a lot at once.
Also if you liked this one, you should definitely check out We Were Soldiers. Its one of my favorite books and Mel Gibson did a damn good job directing and acting in it.
They just reacted to we were soldiers last week
Not a big deal, but Ermy tossed out a ton of good lines but this wasn't made up on the spot. He sat down with Kubrick and they carefully worked out what would wind up in the script. Kubrick wasn't the sort of fella who could adlib camera angles based on what an actor makes up.
Ermy came up with his dialogue, true, but it was edited and patiently scripted. There's behind the scenes footage of him and Kubrick sitting down and working on the lines.
Source: Ermy, himself.
Best wishes from Vermont 🍁
@@TheStockwell really? I didn't know that. Well still cool
Lime does NOT slow down decomp. It is literally used to speed up decomp. It is highly acidic and would burn you almost immediately if you got it on your skin. Especially if moister is present.
If the dude on the left has a habit of only speaking in references then I'm gonna have to bow out of this channel. No thanks.
Yup every single thing I say is only in references. I don’t ever say anything else. Sorry to be losing you
I love watching millennials and gen z people get all offended and upset at words. Back in the 70’s and 80’s, we laughed at such language. Now the younger generations cry about it.
So fuckin' true.
How old do you think millennials are?
@@Kristin-eb9zy 3 months old
@@Taterhole that tracks from boomer.
@@Kristin-eb9zy I’m gen x. Nice try and so original.
The stuff in his helmet was not glue lmao 🤣 it's bug oil, like "OFF"
Damn. I tried to answer, and didn't think of DEET!
This movie is too mature for this channel.
Agreed 💯%. Too easily offended by the reality which Kubrick was trying to convey.
These two would be complete liability to their teams.
Getting comrades killed so fast.
Don't remember where I heard this, but someone once mentioned that the music in this movie is supposed to feel out of place, just like the US in Vietnam
Not sure if that’s true or not, but all the music is what the soldiers would have been listening to. It’s all timely accurate
@@Nick_Barone True but I think it meant the song's relation to the scene. How upsetting the scene is vs how upbeat the music is; like it just doesn't fit the vibe at all
@@JCShadow0202 ahh! Ok….Yes, I can see that
For music, Kubrick deliberately avoided the typical antiwar and anti-establishment song references that we expect for this genre - the Hendrix, Doors and Byrds type stuff. Kubrick chose the most light hearted, pop culture Top 40 songs of the time.
Why? He was framing the war as an extension of post WWII American culture and mindset extended into the battlefield. Also, he wanted to powerfully overlay the detached domestic tone back home where the American Public were being spoon fed and digesting nightly updates of this curated war. It was made for TV consumption, "informing" civilians in between all the entertainment, commercials and music they were enjoying in the comfort of their living rooms. They didn't get to see the visual sensory underbelly of it, the dehumanizing and 7th level of hell experiences we're seeing here. It was all edited, sanitized and embedded into the mainstream happenings, so folks could still dance to Bird is the Word without thinking or feeling too much. Just be patriotic that the boys are protecting our lifeways.
That was the big sell, to convince Americans that what those boys were doing and going through how they were killing and dying, HAD to be the way! So that we could all continue to enjoy our shitty brainless pop songs and banal consumerist culture being threatened by the Reds.
I was surprised that Donofrio was in Adventures in Babysitting as (a thin) “Thor” the mechanic. He was also great The Magnificent Seven (2016)
Yup and Babysitting and full metal came out the same year 87
Dude in the Red ruins most reactions.. talking to my buddy about how all he does is talk about what other films or shows the cast has been while reacting and then I fast forward and of course land right in the middle of him trying to remember something that someone was in... 😂🤦♂️
Yes.. He is awful
@@J4ME5_ Grow up.
@@rebmerf5622 will do
Guy in helicopter killing people, was 1st drill sgt until Kubrick saw R. Lee Ermys performance.
Are you guys a couple?
That's what I was wondering.
11:40 "I feel like he's going to become the best out of all of them by the end of the movie" 😂🤣
In answer to your question, quicklime is used to reduce putrefaction in corpses, helping to mitigate diseases and the smell associated with decomposition. As such, it makes it useful for creating mass graves - one of the reasons it's been used since the early Iron Age.
Yes using slurs was common, if you can't handle harsh words how can you handle the battlefield
In the Army, we called what they did to Pvt. Pyle a "blanket party".
Thank God for Andrew. Without him there would be no way to find out which actors are playing in this movie and what other movies they might have been in. No way at all.
The sad part about piles story is that this happens more often than you think
Maybe not the whole "murder suicide" part, but definitely the whole pushing a recruit/private until they completely break.
We had a guy in my basic training who, long story short, broke after receiving "personal attention" by the Drill Sergeants. One night, I got woken up to the sound of the door alarm going off and the firewatch guy screaming "He's going to jump! Don't do it! DON'T DO IT!"
We were on the 2nd or 3rd floor iirc and it took a few of our biggest dudes to pull him off the railing and back into the bay.
Never saw him again after that.
@@donovanb9020 and people who make jokes about military think they’re better
No, it absolutely does not. "Pyle" represented the 100,000 program of 1966 for Vietnam. How insulting that you say that this happens more often than people think.
Back then when they didn’t do anything about mental health.
Do they still try to break you like that in basic?
Did my basic training at Bassingbourne Barracks where they shot all the bootcamp scenes 😊
Oh one of my favorite Kubrick film! Definitely a classic! Great reaction guys! The opening monologue is definitely something 😂 Props to the editors of the vid for finding a way to include it lol
There are about 8 or 10 major, essential Vietnam movies and every one of them shows a different war. Taken together they make a picture.
Law and Order Criminal Intent was the first time I discovered Vincent D’Onoforio. Been a fan ever since.
Others can comment but you will never hear more insults and racist jokes from ALL sides towards all sides than in the military and that is because they are beyond friends. Its true friends give each other 💩
Ive given up trying to explain this to people who have never served. They will never understand it. Guess you had to have been there.
@@johnwinters9030 yep. Just to be clear I never served. Had my AF academy application filled out but then couldn’t fly due to eyesight. I’ve just read a lot and watched of military guys talk about it. Full Metal Jacket also shows this.
We (military personnel, all branches) hit the magazine on the helmet to ensure that the rounds are flush so they load properly into the chamber. Misfire prevention. ;) Also, yes, the body must be retrieved and taken back with the team present.
The problem isn't that Andrew makes too many Wilson Fisk references, but rather that it's the only thing he has to offer in a lot of these videos. He only really seems comfortable when he can link an actor or moment to something else in pop culture. The people he's paired with are often invested in the movie and reacting to what is going on, while Andrew is just waiting to list off an actor's IMDb page.
Yup you nailed on the head. I’m not invested in anything I’m ever watching whether it’s me getting excited in action sequences or crying in dramatic sequences, I’m just here to name things actors were in…. Thanks!!!
@@andrewgordon7662 take the criticism and move on
@@martinlatour9311 this isn’t constructive it’s bullshit and I disagree with it and I’m going to defend it so no I will not “move on.” If anyone here has anything constructive to say I’m all for it but the point this person is saying is all I do is name shit other people are in and references which I’m not going to lie I do that but that’s not the only thing I do but thanks for telling me what I should do, appreciate it!
I watched this for the cringe coming off the both of you.
I guess you were feasting
One of the truest comments I've read in the last 6 months. Kudos.
Now Joker knows how to shoot a child. What can one do when being shot at by a child with an AK-47.
Not to mention that's when he gains the thousand yard stare they referenced earlier in the movie. You can see his eyes change after he takes the shot.
This is actually supposed to be 1967
Fun fact: Ermey wrote 150 PAGES of insults. Just for this. Absolute legend.
Fun fact you guys missed: Vincent D'onofrio also played Kingpin in the MCU
Damn I should have mentioned that. My bad
@@andrewgordon7662 we all have our off days, don’t beat yourself up about it Andrew 😆😅
- you hit the mag on your helmet to set the rounds straight, so you won't double feed causing a weapon jam
, as you were
I was a wrestler in high school, and I am a Marine Corp veteran, so this movie and "Vision Quest" are my more favorite Matthew Modine movies
the reason why cowboy taps the magazine against his helmet is to make sure the rounds are still in the magazine, but also to knock dust off the rounds cause the M-16s in the Vietnam war were prone to jamming alot compared to the modern counterparts of the same rifle
Mainly because of improper training on how to clean them, and even being told they did not need cleaning.
An indication of the main source of the jamming rifles is that units that were serious about keeping their weapons clean had statically fewer issues. Marines. Special Forces. And such.
God! i love to watch far left woke snow flakes react to this great damn movie because it messes with there crazy emotions they dont know to either like are hate this movie.🤣🤣🤨😳👍
I graduated from Parris Island in November of 1986 and drill instructors never run out of material. Ermey just played himself with all of the experience he had. This movie was filmed in England and is an outstanding anti-war film by Kubrick. Marines qualify with their rifle from distances of 200, 300 and 500 yards.
R Lee Ermey has pointed out that drill sergeant Hartman is actually an awful drill sergeant, which explains a lot.
If I recall, R Lee Emry was brought on as a consultant to make sure the actor playing the role of the drill sargeant was authentic. The actor wasn't cutting it, and R Lee Emry was given the role.
Those white bottles that the soldiers had to their helmets were mosquito repellent
the lack of knowledge you two muppets have exhibited is scary and slightly insulting -- did they teach you anything in school?
Thanks appreciate it 🙏
Perhaps you would be happier if you f**ked off. . .
i mean they know what every actor is lol
Aaron, should work more on using less words when explaining something we already know, and also refrain from re-enacting what you literally just saw on the screen. It would make your reactions much more entertaining and less cringey.
That's kinda a mistake,the marines keep their hair high and tight,that's why they're call jarheads!
You guys have no idea about this movie. There is a rabbit hole you can go down. I could teach you about the Vietnam draft if you would like it would answer so many of your questions.
They needed troops for Vietnam. They weren’t getting enough people to join and even when the draft was activated they still couldn’t get enough people so what did they do?
They lowered the official IQ needed to join the military of that time. So there were many autistic and just plain old stupid people who did horrific things.
It's hard to believe that 2 movie buffs like yourselves have never seen Full Metal Jacket. 😂😅
It might be hard to believe but it’s the truth and you are free to believe whatever you’d like. I’m always transparent about movies I’ve seen before. There are some upcoming reactions that I mention before the reaction that I’ve seen before so take that for what you will
I really think you guys should just stick to the Marvel reactions. Anything based on actual history is completely lost on you guys😞
44 years old and I remember watching this when I was 8 with my buddy. We are an insane generation lol
Do you two people understand what a draft is ? These soldiers did not have a choice to inlist, I find it insulting that you don't even know anything about the Vietnam war , that's basic highschool level history. This is the reason history repeats itself.
I find it insulting that you speak so confidently about something that you are mostly wrong about. Maybe try doing a little research yourself before insulting other's intelligence. A quick Google search will show that, even during Vietnam, the vast majority of Marines were volunteers. Only something like 10% were drafted (most went to the Army).
These guys keep referencing to the 1970s when the tet offensive was in 1968.
Lime powder is a fine white powder made from limestone and has been used as far back as the bronze age to cover corpses to cover up the smell and speed up decompression.
However lime powder speeding up decompression is a myth, there are no noticeable affect to decompression to lime powder covered corpses. The belief still persists to this day in sections of the world.
I swear this really feels like 2 separate movies
You guys need to watch A Bridge Too Far (1977) - the cast is insane and directed by Richard Attenborough
great reaction! gotta check out “a clockwork orange” … another Stanley Kubrick banger
Very funny you say “they are on the OFFENSIVE” during the scene depicting the Tet Offensive
This is definitely a vanilla PC channel
Yup
As a Disabled Combat Veteran I am disheartened by your naivety towards understanding what service is. What it entails and what it requires from the individual. Maybe we should all experience a taste of what it feels like to be a part of something larger than yourself. To be. To thrive and advance as a group. Maybe something like this is what society lacks. I wish you well, young sirs. Exercise your liberties and be safe.
These are the same people that don't where their freedoms come from..
GOD IT'S TOO MUCH, STOP SAYING EMRY!
Sorry. Spell check.
My father was a marine and this movie was by far his favorite military movie ,all the things that was said was really what they would say at paris island. The rifle poem is literally the opening of his annual
“I am become Death” is from the Bhagavad Gita, a Hindu spiritual text. It’s always mistakenly attributed to Oppenheimer.
Thank you. I knew someone was going to pick up on that, that's why I didn't bother replying to the comment.
They knock the magazine on the helmet before reloading so that there is no dirt in it that can lead to loading inhibition.
I must be fucked up or something because how did u guys not die laughing at any of what the sergeant yelled in the beginning of the movie 😂
snowflakes.
Too busy being offended.

"They're going on the offensive." Yes indeed, they did go on the offensive, during Tet, the Vietnamese New Year. One might say it was a Tet Offensive.
R Lee Ermey did a hilarious reprisal of that role in The Frighteners. Great actor.
Man, I remember seeing this with my Dad, who went to basic in 68, said it was pretty accurate. But the army wasn't, and isn't, as proud as the Marines
Hacksaw Ridge would be such a good reaction!
That movie is garbage. They took a great true story and then made up a bunch of BS and threw it in there for movie audiences and now everyone thinks its all real
@@reconsoldier135 I actually think it’s pretty accurate! But even if it’s not still a good movie in my opinion
R. Lee Ermey served in the Marine Corps as a Drill Instructor during the Vietnam War. I went to Marine Corps Recruit Training in San Diego, CA from Oct 2011- Jan 2012. All Marine recruits have at least three Drill Instructors who act similar to this
There's a reason Sir Winston Churchill said "jaw jaw is better than war war"... because there are no winners in war.
Even the 'victors' are left with ruins, disabilities, PTSD & trauma.
If you like Kubrick films you should watch Barry Lyndon... one of his less talked about films of his. It's excellent. Edit: also love the part where he mentions Lee Harvey Oswald and gives credit for his shooting ability to the Marines... his actual military records showed that he was a very poor shot at that point before his discharge. He either was trained up when he travelled to Russia or he was a patsy as the theories go. Either way it's hilarious given that the Marines would definitely know how good Oswald was at shooting whilst he part of their outfit.
I love that movie!
Kubrick actually had a super fast F 0.95 lens made for the cameras used to film one of the dinner scenes. The ONLY light used in the scene was candles.
I remember watching this on VHS back in the day
. Bad ass movie.
Section 8 basically means mentally unfit for duty.
Would love to see Andrew's reaction to Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove.
Do you guys live next to the city dump or something?
