I don’t think he ever recovered from when he bashed B.Hussein Obama and Hollywood blacklisted him destroying his career.

Dad, who fought in the Guadalcanal/Bougainville Campaign in the Marines absolutely HATED listening to R. Lee Ermey…not because his drill instructor act was bad…but because it was RIGHT ONE THE MONEY.

It gave him 1942 Parris Island chills to hear him.
RIP Gunney

S/Sgt Ermey, except for fmj, was a pretty good actor!
Jack Webb’s The DI!(1956) was a far more realistic portrayal of PISC and a DI!
Ermey was a honorary rank thing, just as Bugs Bunny was an honorary Marine.

RIP.

I was always amused by the story of how Ermey was cast in Full Metal Jacket. Stanley Kubrick had cast some actor as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman and brought in Ermey as a technical advisor because of his background as a Sergeant in the USMC. It then occurred to Kubrick that Ermey could do a much better job in the role than any "real" actor, and the rest is history. Virtually everyone who watches the movie agrees that Ermey is the highlight of FMJ.
