Anti-war B.S.

Rating: 1/10 (23 November 2005)

This was just an anti-war movie that attempted to make the military look like a bunch of "jarheads." I've read reviews from a few supposed veterans who walked away from this movie feeing "proud"? Are these people just stupid? The movie could not have been more anti-military or anti-soldier. They made you out to be stupid jarheads.
The movie was completely biased and made no attempt to accurately portray the Gulf War, especially from a political point of view. The movie is just a bunch of F-words and sex scenes. It's the same stuff we hear today. The war was about protecting a bunch of rich people's oil, and the military was too stupid to realize it because all they care about is sex and killing people.
The movie was sick. It is the absolute worst movie I have ever seen. The whole movie is non-stop sex, and there is no point to it. The main character described his time in the middle east as "masturbation, masturbation, and more masturbation." In-between masturbation he would drink some water and that was about it. And then back to more masturbation, and we get to watch him do it. We get to see him bang his girlfriend as he remembers the days before he enlisted. We get to see another soldiers wife having sex with someone else. She records a video of herself cheating on him, and then mails it to him while he's in Iraq. All the soldiers cheer on as she's getting pounded by some other guy. Anybody cheering on for something like this needs serious help. If that's truly what everybody in the military was doing in Iraq, then they are Jarheads.
And then don't even get me started on action. It doesn't exist, period. At least in Platoon some action came with all the anti-war bias. Instead, this movie comes with masturbation.
The only good part of the whole thing is the theme song, which doesn't play until the ending credits. It's that same one that played during the trailer.
