I was wondering how Hollywood would choose to pervert our military in this new film. Thanks, Ollie, you answered my question.

I believe Dale Dye is in the movie. He has been in several war pictures including Band of Brothers - as the Col of the 101th, I believe. I've lost a lot of respect for this former service member turned actor.

I won't waste my time and money on this trumped up story based on nothing but lies.There are only a few war movies worth watching and this isn't one of them.One movie I do recommend is called When Trumpets Fade

"Those who participated in making this nihilist flop deserve nothing but scorn in return."
It's amazing that for all the crap that Hollywood dishes out there are real heroes that keep America safe. Hollywood seems intent on enjoying its nihilistic splendor in the grass, its flirtation with Islamofacsim. But Hollywood doesn't understand how blatantly irrelevant they are to the rest of America... what they want to show is that there is no war, only individuals caught up in a machine. And they want that message to spread because, ultimately, they believe the protagonist is just like themselves -- selfish, self serving, ego maniacs with money as their one and only Godhead, and that is nihilism American style.
Yeah, go see the movie if you want to see Hollywood's tawdry little life first hand...

I saw this movie about 4 days ago
what a waste
While we did do some of the things done in this movie, these are the things that we didn't tell our mother about.
They are the things we are ashamed of.
For Swoffard to make a movie based on his sick memories of his personal perversions is sinking to a new low.
Yes, the language is sometimes accurate, but most of it to me is totally out of reality and does not reflect what I remember at all, especially how we spoke to Staff NCO's. Or LtCol's like he did in the last combat scene.
For him to make the movie he did shows he never had Esprit de Corps, all he had is graduation from boot camp.
And no one cares about how hard boot camp is, Stanley Kubrik's FULL METAL JACKET cannot be improved upon, only copied cheaply even by genuine Drill Instructer veterans.
