has anyone seen it?

Seen it last night, it was better than I expected. Great direction.

I know there's some marines on here, I'd wanna know what you guys thought.
I have a friend over there right now and this is pretty much all the perspective I've got on the life in the marines.

Did you expect more action?

Rochard · 11-25-2005, 12:33 PM

I haven't seen it yet; Been way too busy.

However, during a recent trip I picked up the book in the airport to read on the plane. I have no idea how close the book is to the movie. But as a former United States Marine the book fucking digusted me.

I also I read "I love my rifle more than you" but a former Army chick. That also disgusted me.

Not sure what's going on with our military today but it seems to me a lot of these kids expected a four year joy ride, and it never occured to them that they might be sent to a warzone for a year. (I got lucky while I was in and was never deployed to a live combat zone. I wonder how I would have dealt with it.)

Also, I just read "The Making of the United States Marine Corps" that followed a platoon through boot camp at Paris Island - and then afterwards. That gave me a fucking hard on.

It was incredible, everything I was expecting and more. One of my all-time favs, going to see it again this week.

Its ok but really its just a film about a bunch of marines doing fuck all.. why?

The first part of the film they borrowed from Full Metal Jacket then its all about marines hanging around in a adesert? are they trying to say that being a marine in Gulf War you felt kinda pointless and bored and also you might lose your Girlfriend and see some dead bodies?
I mean who cares really! what about the other side Iraqi conscripts sitting in bunkers shitting themselves for months on end, getting bombed to death without firing a shot! I think the marines had it pretty good I just don't get this film really!
