oh. ok.

that film is just part of the machine that glorifies war to the masses, a dumbing down. I lost interest in war movies after apocalipse now, that was the end all.

They hate only lead to innocent blood streams
If it’s so important
To fight for mankind

Out there on the front line."

The militant angle Yankee entertainment is taking is scary. No less than six shows dealing with CIA/Pentagon/counterterrorism premiere this fall.

We're working on TV spots for Jarhead. It's really good. That's all I'm not allowed to say.

I never heard a word about how we had no reason to be in vietanm after watching Full Metal Jacket.
In fact the drill sargent is the first thing that comes to most people's mind. They get a laugh out of his lines and make soundboards with it. Never had a heard or read a protest about it.

"What about just going to the movies to be entertained and stop over thinking everything?

(Aug 24 05, 17:44)"you just hit the nail on the head.
war as entertainment
they should have a reality tv show of life in Iraq so we can be midlessly 'entertained' that way
being careful not to over-think of course ;)

So what's the deal here? Let me guess. Anything that has a glimmer of making America look good makes you all angry. Iraq is like WWII all over again. Another war that was unpopular by the masses but in the end...
when will you learn?
The Germans didn't attack the US - Japan did. WWII.
Iraq didn't attack the US - Al Qaeda did.
Nothing is more sad then envy mixed with ignorance.

Will have to see it before i can Judge, but it looks like full metal jacket meets Three kings.

Trivia: Filmed in the Imperial Valley in Southern California, which features conditions very similar to Iraq. Marines did use one of the local towns, Brawley, for training purposes due to similarities to Iraq.
