Vietnam Basic Training - Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump (1994) Rent or own full movie - amzn.to/3sU5gYy​
Slow-witted Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) has never thought of himself as disadvantaged, and thanks to his supportive mother (Sally Field), he leads anything but a restricted life. Whether dominating on the gridiron as a college football star, fighting in Vietnam or captaining a shrimp boat, Forrest inspires people with his childlike optimism. But one person Forrest cares about most may be the most difficult to save -- his childhood love, the sweet but troubled Jenny (Robin Wright).

    The gun scene is a great example of how humans can have different types of intelligence. While Gump was not gifted IQ wise which would allude to lack of creativity and conceptual skills taught in text books, it was pretty obvious he was physically gifted when it came to more tangible concepts like assembling a weapon and ping pong. We all have something to offer if we apply ourselves. That is an important lesson in life.

    They probably got an actual MTI to do it, since they know exactly how to do it right. I became a big fan of R Lee Ermey, the drill seargant in Full Metal Jacket, after finding out he was a real retired MTI for the Marines, and actually had a long list of minor roles and dedicated shows. If I recall correctly, he was the only enlisted marine to ever be promoted after retirement, due to his outreach post military. He had two shows I used to find clips of on youtube. One was Mail Call, where he'd get letters from strangers asking questions about the military, and he would try his hardest (and often fail) not to lose his sh@t and call questions stupid, lol. Another show was about the development of firearms (Lock N Load on the history channel) as told through the lens of an angry drill seargant. One of the funniest scenes, apparently he held a grudge against this one guy who sent in a letter to Mail Call claiming this one story of a US soldier hip firing an M1917 (heavy machine gun normally fired from a tripod) in combat had to be untrue because of how heavy the gun was, and the amount of recoil it produces... So Ermey called his @$$ out by name on the M1917 episode of Lock N Load, picks one up (as an old man now) and starts hipfiring it himself, lol. Such a bummer he passed, that guy was hilarious.

A massive fighting force built on a foundation of tradition, honor, and a clearly defined, rigorously enforced, hierarchical command and control infrastructure complete with dozens of different methods for signifying rank and status at all times. To the point that your rank literally is put before your actual name. Where you must make a physical gesture demonstrating your awareness of, and implied submission to, anyone of a higher rank immediately entering their general vicinity. Clearly a place where all human life is treated with equal value /s. And that's before even beginning to touch on the whole conducting 100s of drone strikes with little regard for civilian casualties and other collateral damage, or the secret detention centers and blacksites designed specifically to avoid providing the people in them with even the most basic human rights. Or the whole existence of the military pay grades where your pay is proportional to rank. The idea the military treats people as equals couldn't be further from the truth. That's not to say it isn't for a good reason. The truth of the matter is people are not all equal. Not even close. This entire myth of humans being equal is something perpetuated by the weak and dumb to rationalize their own lack of ability and to make mediocrity a virtue. That's not to say people don't deserve basic human rights and to be treated with at least a certain minimum level of decency. Not does it excuse racism or any other prejudice. The issue with racism is that in no way is race an effective determinate of potential, ability or value. It prioritizes skin color (an almost completely meaningless characteristic) at the expense of the consideration of factors which *do* actually mean something. It's just another method at attempting to subvert society's ability to effectively assess an individual's value. Which ironically is exactly what acting like everyone is equal does as well.

    @@e2rqey you completely missed the point chief. In a basic training cycle everyone is equal. They're not military, They're not civilian either. They're just molds, slowly being molded into infantrymen. Also I'm unsure why you brought race and racism into the mix? As far as pay grades go, you're equal to your same pay grade, and the reason rank structure exist is to ensure a chain of command is in place so that the most experienced men are the ones doing the leading, and if they're killed or incapacitated there's someone else ready to take their place albeit with less experience but with more than the lower pay grade. Also enlisted personnel don't "make a physical gesture of implied submission" to any higher rank. Just officers of which are significantly fewer than the enlisted personnel and are trusted with much more responsibility and are saluted as a sign of respect. Id like to point out that most detention centers and black sites are rarely manned by regular military but by private contractors or other alphabet soup agents. If course witb exceptions like Abu Geraib or gitmo (excuse any spelling errors) and a few other locations that were exposed BY the military. I guess to sum it up, you are equal to your peers and unequal to your leaders, which you have pointed out.. Your tangent has holes and it seems you have a sour view of the military.

    In Basic Training you're usually assigned a "buddy" whom you're supposed to stick to and look out for each other no matter what. (This is also part of training for wartime, because you're much less likely to get killed if there's someone watching your back or can get you help if you're wounded.) Bubba and Gump were probably assigned to each other, and luckily they bonded well. Things can and have gotten ugly when two paired soldiers didn't get along, although if the acrimony is bad enough usually one of the soldiers gets reassigned to a different section/platoon.

I walked into basic knowing every move I needed to make and with a week left to go before graduation, one of the drill sergeants calls my name and freezes, then says, "Who the hell are you???" He was genuinely baffled. All you have to do is not talk, listen to everything the DS tells you, and know every single order of march, cadence, and uniform standard, before you get there.

The secret is just to keep the same, neutral countenance from beginning to end, never look nervous and take every command literally. I was the epitome of the Gray Man. A drill sergeant once asked me if I licked windows and while standing at parade rest, without moving anything but my mouth, and with the most neutral and serious tone I replied with, "Yes, drill sergeant."

It's what he says to and does for Gump that makes this sergeant one of my favorite portrayals of what it truly means to be a military leader and what they fight for.
