A truly terrifying experience

Rating: 7/10 (6 March 2011)

America will never be defeated in a battle (any time soon) but will it ever win the hearts and minds of the people they are supposedly liberating as they did during WWII? After WWII many wars have been fought but all have been lost in the eye of the general public. This motion picture is scary for anyone outside of the US. Especially those who think of the USA as the good guys, the A-Team for the world, the country that promotes truth and justice and stands for honesty and civil liberties for anyone. This motion picture is a wake up call for all those who think that American soldiers are there to protect the innocent, to fight for a good cause, democracy. American soldiers are no longer fighting for truth and justice, they fight for commercial reasons, special interest groups in Washington define the targets. Soldiers have no moral problems in this movie to pull the trigger, they want to kill, they were trained to kill and therefore they are going to kill. Anyone. Anywhere. Anytime.
This is in essence a portrayal of the downfall of American moral. Any legitimacy for fighting abroad has disappeared and Jarhead is the Full Metal Jacket of a nihilistic generation. A truly terrifying movie.
