I could totally see a Full Metal Jacket II: Iraq

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2006)

Watching this movie, try substituting the Vietnam era soldiers, with modern day weapons, vehicles and grunts and you get the War in Iraq! This movie was very entertaining and not like the other Vietnam movies of the time (Apocolipse Now comes to mind) where it is all dark and moody (thanks to the Doors music), but this one has humor to lighten the situation, but there is gore. It is war, duh! Also having draftees in a war situation vs. troops who volunteer for such an assignment really shows. Of course no one wants to be in a war, but if you have to be there, you have to have your head screwed on tight, but not too tight, or you snap. Excellent movie.
