Teaching method used in the movie

Rating: 5/10 (13 November 2005)

The first part of the movie shows the training of recruits. But if the manner to train them is very brutal, too brutal on my mind, the main problem is that this movie don't shows the second part of the training. It is an mistake. I was colonel in the french marine corps, and training is in two parts, the first for reduce all possibility of opposition in the recruit, the second, essential, vital, is to rebuilt a soldier. The movie don't shows this second part of the training. When and where have they learn infantry fight? shootting? and all other parts of a good infantry education? The sargent is ludicrous, a bad ludicrous, and his murder by the soldier named "Whale" is normal and foreseeable. Too brutal, too pervert, too bawling... I hope for the US Marine Corps it didn't exist so bad sargent in it. The second part of the movie is realist enough, but soldiers offer too easy targets for snipers, it is not a good work of infantrymen. Sorry for the bad "english" Hoplite7
