The Military Hollywood Style and Ripoff of Full Metal Jacket
14 March 2006
I've been in the military for almost two decades now and have never seen a more ridiculous representation than this foolish but somewhat entertaining movie.

This movie is little more than a poor ripoff of the excellent, well acted, finely directed "Full Metal Jacket." That's really all there is to say other than the fact that the Hollywood kabal has struck again in its attempt to denigrate American soldiers and portray them as a bunch of savage morons.

As an aside, have you noticed that since the terrorist attack of 911, the media folks on the left coast have been too cowardly to produce a movie about Arab terrorism? They are now held up as as innocents exploited by America.

Maybe they're afraid that one of them will place a bomb in their autos. Or just maybe, they feel that they can make more money in overseas sales by denigrating a military that has been the historical guarantor of their own liberty and right to be irresponsible.

6 out of 10 because I managed to sit through the whole thing.
