Alright, I'll be the party pooper. I found the movie disappointing. Cardboardy characters, silly looking special effects. If Full Metal Jacket was an A, this movie was about a C.

Full metal jacket was built around somebody's anti war fantasy. We were soldiers is a true story.

The story was great. Mel Gibson didn't pull off the Southern Officer as well as I would have hoped. Sargeant Major Basil Plumley (Sam Elliot) was fantastic. Snake Sh*t (Greg Kinnear) was good too.

You're right. You're the party pooper. :)
