Full Metal Jacket - 10 Minutes of Boot Camp

It could be said that Private Joker was on a dream ticket into the Marine Corp because he was being taken on as a journalist with them, albeit eventually to the very front line of things, as like journalistic photographers that were taken in as well, like the bloke that was constantly barffing in a Huey on the film.

Private Joker was side-show brains but he made it through training easily, so fair play to him.

To all those saying brainwashed, etc... you're right. But, we brainwash ourselves all the time. Lance Armstrong, for example brainwashes himself. There is nothing natural about the pain he puts himself through. There is most definitely nothing "natural" about going towards gunfire, death, artillery, etc... Most Marines (enlisted anyway) are not all "mom, apple pie, etc..". Most enlisted make fun of those guys. They do what they do for each other and because they said they would.

Do u suck dicks??

Joker's warface at 2:46 sounds more like he's screaming in terror.

it was 2 or 3, but who cares, getting a confirmed kill is hard, i can only imagine how many Animal Mother got...

He is like my history teacher was ....

This is an awesome movie. Getting a real Marine to play as the drill instructor was brilliant.
