It's not the army, it's the Marines!

Kubrick stood out by making anti-war films that depict war with such brutal accuracy

The official line on Vietnam was that we were stopping the spread of communism, but as much as anything it was a proxy war between the United States and the Soviet Union. It was also when the Military Industrial Complex learned how profitable perpetual war can be...

I love the movie---it's nearly perfect---but it comes up just a little short at the end. I was never quite comfortable with the idea that a group of battle-hardened marines would think that mercy killing a sniper was in any way hardcore, and turns out that the book is a little different. The book was written by a marine, Gustav "Goose" Hasford, for whom Joker is essentially the alter-ego, and the book has a third act: after Hue, the lust hog squad is deployed to Khe Sanh to support the outpost under siege. In the book, Cowboy survives the sniper incident in Hue, but he falls victim to a sniper when on long-range patrol around Khe Sanh. Joker sees the same scene play out as played out in Hue, the sniper attempting to lure the surviving men into the kill zone by repeatedly wounding Cowboy, and Joker reacts by shooting and killing Cowboy himself. In the book, Joker killing one of his own friends from boot camp to ruin the sniper's plan is the act that the other marines take to be hardcore. It's a much more morally ambiguous ending and unquestionably the act of a hard man whose values have been completely altered by the fighting.

r. lee ermy (gunnery sergeant hartman) was hired as a consultant for this film but really wanted to play the role, having been a marine drill sergeant in real life. most people my age remember him not just for this, but for "mail call," a tv show he presented where people wrote in with questions about military history. the comedian drew carey was also in the marine corps, and he spoke of his time in the corp saying that while that they no longer beat recruits, "they only made you wish they beat you."

Yes it is.

The first five minutes, at boot camp, IS definitely an exaggeration of the abusive treatment your C.O. puts you through (but not far from it). Stanley Kubrick is the director of the film. Known for many of the 20th century's greatest work in American cinema. You will love "Dr. Strangelove". A cynical yet realistic representation of Cold War paranoia in the U.S. and amongst their perceived enemies. As always, very entertaining.

the opening scene with lee emery as the drill sergeant is iconic and for me is the best part of the movie. The director stanley kubrick and emery got together before filming and cooked up the funniest and most outrageous monologue they could think of.⚛😀

You should review The Pacific series, which covers the war between the United States Marine Corps and their extraordinarily tough Japanese opponents in WW2.

The 20 people that were killed were murdered by the North Vietnamese. They committed as many, if not a factor more, of war crimes against their own people. The ones in the mass grave, as the Marine sarcastically stated, were part of the "re-eduction" that the NVC troops gave (i.e. they simply killed anyone who they even suspected of questioning communism, didn't want to fight, or simply didn't comply.

This movie was created before we were forced to be 'politically correct'. 'Politically correct' means hide the truth or change historical facts. I grew up in the Vietnam War era and we saw horrific news stories on television all day long about the maiming and massacre of soldiers and civilians. We saw the bodies carried out of war zones.

Btw I can't wait to see your genuine reaction to Nick Thurl Mavromatis' new song 🤘

The US military has a diehard "Hammer & Nail" policy. In simple terms, the military training operates on a bell curve. Any outliers, whether they are behind the curve or ahead of it, are the ones who get extra "attention" from the drill instructors. Its why Hartman kept his sights on Pyle & Joker. Say what you will about Hartman's treatment of everyone, but if someone can screw up in basic training, they're guaranteed to put themselves and their fellow marines in danger on the battlefield.

(Parris Island, is here in South Carolina, my father was trained in part here during WWII, among other military bases, such as Camp Breckinridge Kentucky, Los Alamos, California, The Manhattan Project, which took just 4 years to develop how to split an atom). Basically when an atom is split it's split into two smaller atomic particles as fission takes place, it releases neutrons creating a chain reaction, in which other atoms continue to split. This is why Oppenheimer, (lead person in charge of the project) an American theoretical physicist, upon observing the atomic explosions stated, "Now I am become death, destroyer of worlds". Because he opposed the use of the atomic bomb, U.S. government demanded that he surrender up his security clearance. Wanting to keep track of how the government intended to use the new discovery refused to give up his security, until Albert Einstein suggested to Oppenheimer, to turn in his security clearance, & walk away, which he did. He lived until Feburary, 1967, in which he died from throat cancer. During military training soldiers are trained to be broken & to take orders. The primary driving force is to make a soldier blame the enemy for all of their miseries. If it weren't for an enemy they would be with their loved ones, instead of being stuck in some foreign land. War has existed among men since the beginning of man, & I don't reckon man will find their own way to end wars. There's too much indifference between mankinds abuse of free will, making it impossible to logically conclude the wisest thing is to lay down their arms, but in doing so subjects one to the will of another man's ideologies. That is the eternal struggle between mankind, & is the reason as to why man itself is inept to end their war cries, or their suffering.

No one wins at war, some sides just lose less.

The hitting went low key in the early 80s but did get completely phased out not far from there. I served during the late 90s to the 2000s , that stuff wouldn’t have been tolerated by then but I talked with plenty of guys who went through it like the movie prior to the changes.

The thing about war is there are no crimes. Only right and wrong. But when winning matters most right and wrong go out the window

The guy who introduced the corpse was killed by the booby trap -- I think his nick-name was Craze.

The dead civilians in the mass grave were killed by the communist North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong forces, which captured the city of Hue at the beginning of the Tet Offensive. Between 2,800 and 6,000 (5-10% of the population) were massacred, when the communists attempted to wipe out the social strata of the city, including politicians, government workers, teachers, foreigners, any South Vietnamese army prisoners and anyone perceived to be friendly to the Americans or South Vietnamese government. Many were clubbed to death, some buried alive. It's regarded by some as the worst atrocity of the war.

They don’t treat recruits like this anymore. No hitting or swearing. The purpose though is because if you cannot handle the abuse, how can you handle the enemy trying to kill you

We didn’t invade Vietnam. We didn’t “try to take their country” with all due respect. There was a country called South Vietnam and they were invaded by the North Vietnamese communist government. In the same way we are allies with South Korea. Like in 1950 Korea the communists invaded. We were driven out by the communists after a decade of war. 58,000 US casualties to 2-3 million Vietnamese. The people killed in the village, in the ditch, were killed by Vietcong communists. They told all the intellectuals and politicians to show up to a specific place and killed them …but we committed war crimes. Why did we fight communist? Because in communist country’s two Arab kids can’t get on KZread and practice dissent by criticizing their governments. In the US citizens could protest the Vietnam war that their sons were dying in. In Russia or China you can’t protest. Democratic nations have the right free speech, religion, press, due process, thought, the vote, dissent, protest, ect…you can’t in authoritarian countries.

This was as part of a larger program called the Jakarta Protocols aimed at preventing various countries' independence. The US supported the Khmer Rougue in Cambodia even into the early 1990s, and back in the Vietnam war murdered tons of Indonesians for voting the wrong way, not to mention Laos, Cambodia, etc. The war did not go as the US wanted and that is one reason Vietnam today is a country with a future, but the US did achieve its general war aims, which is why Vietnam has taken such a long and hard road to get where it is.
