An insult to Marines and to the Corp.

Rating: 1/10 (18 November 2005)

After reading pretty many good reviews and seeing the trailer, we went to see Jarhead. About half way through the movie, we got up and left. I wasn't a Marine, served in the Army, but I have a bunch of respect for the Marines, and this movie showed absolutely no respect whatsoever for the institution or the men and women that serve. It was an insult. I can't believe that anyone gave it a good review. It made Marines out to be a bunch of confused losers. We currently have an all volunteer force that consists of some of the finest trained and motivated personnel that have ever served. They deserve much better than to be portrayed like this. Shame on everyone who had a hand in making this movie, and shame on the people who tout it as a hit.
