My son and I got a great education in weapons, history, military philosophy, and innovative ways of blowing things up through DVDs of his TV shows.
RIP to a great patriot and a great teacher.

Sad...he sounded like a no-nonsense,standup guy.Although I'll admit that watching Full Metal Jacket made me glad that I didn't join the Marines.

Sorry to hear! RIP Gunny!

He camped out on our military installation about 15 years ago. He was filming "mail call" and got a ride in an f-15. He then addressed the entire base populace + families in our base theater (1000 + people). He offered an R rated review of what he thought of liberals, politics (2003) CNN and Barbara Streisand. He compared a private act of Barbara Streisand to a woodpecker hitting your lower abdomen....in front of children.......Even the Base Commander could not stop laughing. We did not receive one complaint although I was sure they would come.
He stopped in the club afterward and did not have one drink...everyone loved him. He left to hunt with his brother around Mt Shasta.
What a joy...I cried when he turned gay in a later movie but actually watched him last night in seven.

Definitely a victim of type-casting. But he made a pretty good living playing a stock character he knew inside and out from personal experience. Full Metal Jacket is essentially two films because he so dominates the first half of it. Often imitated but never duplicated. And celebrated by millions.

Yep. Up until Full Metal Jacket Jack Webb was what people thought a DI was like. He showed the world a REAL DI.
