Hoo-rah...not!

If this is really what the Marine Corps is like today, it's no wonder everybody's kicking the US's butt wherever we go. These guys were portrayed as weak in many cases. These guys were cracking up before they went into combat at all. I'm sorry, but when I was in, the Corps was a bunch of tough men. Vietnam was our war...and there was beaucoup action there! The depiction of those Marines in this film almost made me sick. Sure, Marines are human beings and have feelings. Sure there are Dear John letters from the girl who was going to wait for you. But you get over it and move out. This clown got all crazy and he wasn't the only one. Gunney Washburn, PLEASE WHIP THESE WIMPS INTO SHAPE because someone didn't do it. As for the film....well, it was pretty well photographed. It was, overall, a very depressing thing for me to see. I guess the acting was good to evoke such a response from me. Semper Fi
