May 12, 2012 - The Marines tear you down, and then rebuild you along USMC lines. The abuse, while it seems sadistic, serves a purpose - to break down the individual's identity and get him to think of his mission and his unit before himself. The film is not realistic in the sense that guys who clearly can't hack it (psychologically unfit, for example) are usually separated from the service, not kept in the pipeline. That's especially true now, perhaps not so much years ago. A little Hollywood artist license...

May 12, 2012 - Re: "Love my country, fear my government" Yeah, you got that right.... but it isn't the Marines you should fear; they're the good guys.

May 12, 2012 - According to the actor's own website, R. Lee Ermey spent 11 years in the Marine Corps, 1961-1972, ultimately attaining the rank of Staff Sgt. before being medically discharged for injuries received. He served as a DI at MCRD-San Diego for two years, 1965-67, and did 14 months in Vietnam, and also did two tours at Okinawa. He was promoted to Gunnery Sgt. (E-7, honorary) in retirement in 2002. This guy's the real deal; wish he was president or at least Sec Def.
GeorgiaBoy1961 Says:
May 12, 2012 - Actually, Kubrick had someone else playing this part, if memory serves, and Ermey basically went to him and told him the guy didn't know sh*t about how to portray a real Marine DI... and why not let him take the part? The rest is history....
GeorgiaBoy1961 Says:
May 12, 2012 - GSgt. Ermey - born 24 March, 1944 - is now 68 years old, but even though he's a grandpa, he's still tougher than 95% of the "men" we have running around in our country.
GeorgiaBoy1961 Says:
May 12, 2012 - Actually, a navy medical/dental officer (all medical needs for the USMC are handled by the USN; the Marines have no organic medical personnel of their own) wouldn't be sent through basic or even officer-basic; you'd just be sent to "knife and fork" school, a condensed version of officer training heavy on protocol and info and light on abuse.

May 12, 2012 - Re: "Im not sure how it was 70 years ago but its a no no lol." Actually, 70 years ago - the DIs pretty much had their way with their recruits, and they weren't above taking you out behind the barracks and beating some sense into you, if you deserved it. Hard times called for hard men - we were fighting a world war then.
GeorgiaBoy1961 Says:
May 12, 2012 - Agreed; they should have had Hartman's character - or someone like him - go into combat with them.
GeorgiaBoy1961 Says:
May 12, 2012 - Actually, DIs were given a lot more lattitude prior to the mid-1950s, when there was a scandal involving recruit training, when some trainees were killed on a night exercise while fording a river. There was an investigation, and a public outcry, and the Corps changed its training practices somewhat after that.
GeorgiaBoy1961 Says:
May 12, 2012 - Gunny Ermey for President! Seriously, this country has gotten too soft, fat and lazy and needs an ass-licking to straighten itself out. Ermey is just the man for the job....
GeorgiaBoy1961 Says:
May 12, 2012 - Vietnam was technically a negotiated peace, via the Paris peace conference. Our forces, except for some non-combat and advisory personnel, had left S. Vietnam by the time the NVA rolled into Saigon. We never lost a major battle in Vietnam. Strategically, the communists won but they did it by by-passing our military and waging war on U.S. public opinion. Most historians fault Walter Cronkite for saying during Tet - actually a devastating defeat for the VC and NVA - that we'd lost the war.

May 13, 2012 - I'll be damned to understand why Ermey never received the Best Supporting Actor Oscar.

lunarchirppingbug Says:
May 18, 2012 - This is what we need to do to our society. We've become a nation of candy ass homos and lard asses. 99% of our country is either a punk ass gang banger piece of shit or a lazy good for nothing shithead.

Brendan Saliba Says:
