Many drill instructors/ drill sergeants were not like Hartman in this film. It's like saying all people are equally hot headed. They can be tough, and firm.... but you're either born hot headed or you're not. Hitler was hot headed, Christian Bale is hot headed, WILL SMITH is hot headed, Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Joe Pesci, Robert DeNiro, Judge Judy. The fiery types tend to make the best leaders, or are at the top of the game in whatever they persue. Most people are docile.

The day of the Tet Offensive was Jan. 31, 1968. So, the second half of the movie would've been around this date. The first half of the movie was most likely the previous year. I know that Hartmann mentioned the University of Texas massacre by Charles Whitman in 1966, so it must've been later that year and into 1967. Remember, they celebrated Christmas on Parris Island. Other good Vietnam War movies include Platoon, Hamburger Hill and the great one, Apocalypse Now

My late brother who I miss every day was in Paris Island Marine Corp boot camp towards the end of the Vietnam War and his stories were at least as bad as what appears in this movie. I'm sure everybody's experiences are different, and I've been told it became less intense as time went by, but from what my brother told me, this was the closest to reality for Marine Corp boot camp at that specific moment in time. But he also told me that his real life experience was even more intense than what appears in the movie. Peace

I can only speak from post-Vietnam US Navy. 1. There are always more than one CC in boot camp (at least in the Navy) where partially recruits can't be abused. Verbal abuse is one thing but physical was a NO GO. 2. Vincent D'Onofrio played the Bug in "MIB", and had to put on 50lbs for this role 3. Hardman was out of control. Others outside his recruits would have noticed and he would have been held accountable. 4. "I don't know, but I've been told. Eskimo pussy is mighty cold." was used in my Navy recruit company in 1981. 5. In the US Navy real live ammo was always accounted for, and Pyle wouldn't have had it on his person in the head. 6. The lights in the head are always lit. (lighting I suspect). 7. "Blanket parties" were a real deal. We didn't have one because we didn't have a Gomer Pyle. 8. The hooker in Saigon is just distracting them so the motorcycle guys can steal the camera. I saw that happen in the Philippines. 9. "I wouldn't shit you, you're my favorite turd" I've used that before. 10. Even by Hollywood standards, Kubrick went overboard with excessive bloodletting. 11. This is clearly an Anti-Vietnam movie. Kubrick chomped at the bit to get this one

I went through Marine Corps bootcamp in 1995. It was pretty much exactly like this except they weren't allowed to physically abuse you. That being said, there are times when you're being punished with intense levels of physical calisthenics that you wished you could just take a punch and get it over with. Punch in the gut vs. pushups until your hands are slipping on the linoleum from the puddles of sweat.... take your pick? I'd take the punch.

Oh boy...welcome to the Kubrick insanity version of Vietnam...it definitely makes an impression, doesn't it? I have never seen it specifically stated by Kubrick anywhere, but Private Pyle is a clear representation of a real program that the Defense Department ran in the 1960s. It was called "Project 100,000" and it was a test to see whether the mental and physical parameters for serving in the US military could be widened to make the pool of potential service people larger. Between escalation in Vietnam and all the other military commitments of the Cold War in those days, the military was concerned about a shortage of people to serve. So they started testing whether recruits who were normally just a bit below the normal standard for IQ, or emotional stability, or physical fitness could be turned into effective military personnel. The same program probably would have led to Forrest Gump being recruited and serving in Vietnam. The program had various nicknames including "McNamara's Misfits" and "McNamara's Morons" in honor of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. Forrest Gump was also part of Project 100,000.👍

When I turned 18, I went to the USMC and Army recruitment office being turned down by both because I had a GED instead of a HS diploma. They couldn't have lowered the standards right during 9/11, maybe when they started losing people's interest in the war, the recruiters contacted me about 4 years later but by then I had purchased a home, gotten engaged, started a business, and I felt slighted from being turned down in the first place when I felt like I was the perfect recruit since juvenile lockup in my state was basically boot camp minus the weapons training. The tone spent in juvenile lockup for 1 year and 9 months was nothing but constant running at elevation since the camp was on a mountain peak, calisthenics, weight training, we lived in dorms with 28 guys, kp duties, schooling, but the focus was on us being busy so we didn't have time to mess up. Some guys tried to escape which was stupid because it could get you sent to adult prison and it wasn't that bad in my opinion considering the other option.

These are Marines prior to and during the Tet Offensive, therefore they would all be volunteers. The Marine Corps did not take its first draftees until April 1968, after Tet. Overall ~90% of all Marines in Vietnam were volunteers. The Army was a very different story.

@Roadghost1969 5 месяцев назад

My late Father served in the USMC in the late 1950's . At that time you either volunteered or got drafted. My father volunteered for the Marines because it was two years and he got it over with. You also ended up with some hard core kids that were sentenced by a judge. My father was from the south side of Chicago and it seemed most the Chicago Guys ended up Camp Pendleton in San Diego. A few of the guys my father flew into San Diego with were gang members. He said you do form a bond with these guys no matter race, class etc,. because you all take a bite of the same "SH(% Burger". My father did say they did a "Blanket Party" (soap and towel) on someone who was stealing watches. It seemed to straighten out the problem kids. Don't mess with the Brotherhood as dad would say. I am 54, I was going to follow in my fathers foot steps and join the USMC after high school. My father was telling me NOoooo! This movie came out the year I graduated high School in 1987. My father took me to this and told me boot camp was worse than they showed you in the film. Dad said please take a year off and figure out what you really want to do. Dad and this movie changed my mind. This is one of my favorite films because it was life changing for me. This movie made me experience the "craziness " of the Vietnam War era and the 1960's I understood PTSD more because I also had Uncles in WWII. This movie is haunting and sticks with you like Saving Private Ryan does. My father always said you think you have a bad day?

All military training in the USA used to be like this. Very high pressure constantly. I heard a Navy officer say something and an Air Force sergeant say the same thing. The reason for all the unrelenting pressure on the recruits is because the most important thing to learn in training, and if you learn nothing else, is to make good decisions in highly stressful environments. Training, as tough as it is, is nowhere near combat.

Not to dissuade you from ever wanting to join the Army or Marines lol, but minus the slapping/punching, Drill Instructors language was about as authentic as I recall when I was in the Army in the late 80s.

And as I'm sure you've discovered by now, the actor who BRILLIANTLY played the Marine DI in this all-time classic was none other than R. Lee Ermey, who was himself a DI in the Marines for years, and why his role was sooooooooo believable and authentic. Lee was said to be a genuinely nice guy when he was alive. RIP Legend.

At 16 hrs a day for 14 weeks equals 1456 hours of training. When a college class is 3 hrs per week, an associates, bachelors and masters degree take around 240 hrs of school...Boot camp is the equivalent of 6 masters degrees from associates to masters.

Now you can be if you want to. There is a very cool video about an Air Force pilot, female, whos A-10 Warthog (a fighter plane with missiles and such) was hit multiple times with ground fire, rockets, etc.. the plane was a total wreck but she kept it flying long enough to make it back to the base. There were literally pieces of wing and tail piece missing. Long live the Warthog and their pilots.

All this (except the shooting, no live ammo in barracks) similar stuff we endured for 89 days. If you failed the physical or were really out of line, you were sent back to day one.

Do a review on the films called ,"The Boys In Company-C" , "Tribe" ,"The First To Fight",and "Siege At Firebase Glory",along with "HamburgerHill" and "Flight of the Intruder".Lastly to answer you question yes,women are in the Marine corps along with the other armed forces

I remember when I first got to boot camp, they had us standing in the rain and lightning I'm just a 18 year old teenager first time being away from home. People yelling at you every move you make. It was hot in August Georgia summer in the 70's, but today boot camp is different, they're nice to the troops. They're not real soldiers just young males in summer camp. How the females are mixed with the male soldiers, now that really fuck up! It just like being in ROTC Training in high school. PBUY!

This is the Vietnam War Era. Hartman was an actual drill instructor. That is actually how training was. There were no limits on the drill instructors. Today , just the opening scene has a dozen court martial offenses today. The Marines volunteer

War, as an exercise, serves as a fulcrum to maintain the human being's classification as the most hysterically dangerous species that walks this planet...And until such time as the human evolves far enough to outgrow behaviors that lead him to war...things will continue to be "awkward"...One another aspect...we got the righteous crap kicked out of us in basic training at Ft Jackson, SC in 1967...So a lot of us would have to plead guilty to a warm and fuzzy feeling when sarge here stopped that 7.62 from Pvt Pyles gun in the latrine..

@meanmax9663 3 месяца назад

"Is this what really happens?" Short answer, yes. At least it did when I went through Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island in 1982. When you lay down your head at night in the United States, your peace is protected by men trained this way. They do it for you unselfishly and ask for nothing from you personally. They understand that many people will resent them for it, and may possibly have completely different political views, and that doesn't matter to them. They will sacrifice their lives to protect you, and to protect your rights as an American, even if someone they're protecting hates them. To be peaceful requires the ability to cause great violence, but only when necessary. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, then you are just harmless. Significant difference. Semper Fidelis!

You like War Movies? ok here a list (good that you saw Glory - excellent movie) as stated in prior post - 1. The Deer Hunter 2. Breaker Morant 3. Paths of Glory 4. Galipolli 5. City of Life and Death (Chines 2009 movie filmed in black and white and here on RU-vid - with English Subtitles - best ww2 movie of all time IMO) 6. Patton 7. Dark Blue World 8. Downfall (on RU-vid with ads - german movie about the last 2 weeks of Hitler in his bunker - has english subtitles - Bruno Gans (RIP) a Swiss fellow in real life - was channeling Hitler in that movie - OMG - Bruno was Hitler! 9. Final Days of Sophie Scholl (german - best movies are foreign ones - sad but true - subtitles ain't that bad, you forget you are reading - like with black and white movies you forget no color - its all about the story!) 10. Zelary (Chech movie with english subs) 11. All Quiet on the Western Front (original 1932 version) 12. The Bridge on the River Kwi(sp) ....................the best World War 3 movie of all time is of course "Threads" - which is free to watch here on RU-vid - but each viewing will remove 2 weeks from your life. its a realistic story of life during and after World War Three - so it should be bleak as it is for sure. 2 cents.

27:17 Not a dumb question, don't apologize, you're fine. Yes, there are women in the Marine Corps, they're called WM's (Women Marines) and their basic training is not exactly physically the same as the men, but it has the exact same intensity and it is very physically challenging, make no mistake about that. Definitely not charm school, not even close. The WM's are used extensively in support groups and in tactical situations that don't involve direct combat. They are just as determined and dedicated as their male counterparts.

@DeMan59 3 месяца назад

The looks of shock are what I would expect from someone from the “Don’t hurt my feelings” generation. It’s boot camp during war time. They have to be a bit more extreme. As the man said, no racism. The Marines just want to turn you into a machine. Lol. They are training you to survive.

@hopcat500 4 месяца назад

Yes this is the way basic training in Army and Marines used to be. People then were being trained to go into war and what is portrayed here is how it was. There was no "SNOWFLAKE' treatment and your personality was broken down and you were trained to work as a team and to depend on your other soldiers. People then knew how the military was because our fathers and grrandfathers fought in WWI and WWII where the enemies were brutal and ruthless. Soldiers were being prepared for the insanity of war. Today's "children" would not survive in the conditions necessary to actually WIN WARS. Notice since WWII the United States has not won a war because POLITICIANS started running the wars and Americans got weak and soft.

@josephgonzalez4390 2 месяца назад

Gen z and people that live under a rock really don't know that women serve in the military? Geez And how Gen z and hippie type people don't realize it that's normal for basic training to have drill instructors, fun fact most people that make it in the military successfully are high schoolers that have played in some kind of sport like baseball wrestling or football.

I joined at 17 and It used to be like this in 1980 but I DOUBT it happens these days in this society /They gave PYLE a Blanket Party lol / yes there are WMs but back in the 80sMen Marines and Women Marines did not Mix together also the WMs used to wear Skirts. Nowadays the women train with the Men and it is NOT the same it Lowers the Bar for the Men Marines..USMC should not be a social experiment. You are there to Break shit and KILL./

@gaffo7836 5 месяцев назад

Not a dumb question at all - and YES there were Women in the Marines back then (not sure when they first allowed them into the Marines). My mom joined the Marines in 1958 (she loved it - and still talk about how great it was, and how she misses it). She had to leave the Marines in order to Marry my dad (Male Marines could marry, female Marines could not - ya fked up but that was the rule back then - not sure when they fixed it). She married my dad in 1960, had my sister and a few years later had me - and a few years later they got divorced. Sad that my mom was never really happy after leaving the Marines, especially because the 15 yr marriage was between two folks with incompatible personalities. But glad she did too - otherwise I would not be here ;-/. Women Marines/or Army or Airforce back in the 60's were not allowed on the frontline in combat. That changed for the first time around 1990, The Gulf War, were women are on the frontline (namely Airforce). One thing I THINK is wrong about this movie (but not an expert, so any Marines out there I welcome clearification on the matter) - The Draft. I don't think you could be drafted into the Marines - Marines were a voluntery organization only, one could only be drafted into the Army (and Navy???? - not sure - not sure about the Airforce either - I'm thinking only the Army, but might be wrong on this. BTW - maybe the movie is not wrong, I assumed most of those guys in it were drafted, but i don't think that is stated, so they could all have volunteered and joined the Marines - if so the movie is not wrong afterall. Great movie, War is Hell and this movie is Hell to watch. You should check out the other equally hellish movie about Nam (seems forgotten today - no reactors for it - though it won Oscars when made in 1980) - The Deer Hunter. A Classic. 2-cents.

Yes this was what it was like in the Marines boot camp in 1965-9. At this time. The DI had a 14 week boot camp to give basic training. But due to the demand of the Vietnam War. That 13 weeks had been reduced to 11 weeks. Yet the DIs were still required to give all 13 weeks of training. So if a recuit acted up or was a problem. A swift jab in the gut. Drive the point home. This was about life and death..private Pyle represents McNamara's morons. Defense secretary McNamara lowered the IQ requirements to 55. People at this level often have difficulty with basic life skill let alone functioning in the Military.Yes after a while Military members grow a dark sense of humor.

@usmcrn4418 4 месяца назад

This is what USED to happen during the Vietnam War era and before. Yes.. with the exception of WWII almost all of them joined of their own volition. The Marines don’t like conscription. Let me point out that REAL war is a lot less unkind than even the worst of Marine Corps boot camp training.

Awesome reaction! Full Metal Jacket is one of the best movies ever made. I'm gonna recommend another one of the best movies ever made, but this one is at the other end of the spectrum. The name of the movie is "It's a Wonderful Life". A lot less crazy of a movie, but again, another one of the best movies ever made. If you do watch it, watch the black and white original version. I know you'll love it! I subscribed! Peace

Yep, remember what he said, tough, but fair. At the time this portrays, they had very little time to break you of all the BS and build you back a focused soldier to maybe survive the crapshow you were about to be dropped into. These days, someone like Pyle would have been identified as not fit, but back then it's questionable, especially if he was "fit enough" to fire a rifle and respond to commands. It's one thing volunteering for this, but many were drafted against their will, like my father. He did the one thing they tell you to never do and that is volunteer for anything. An officer came around before they were to all be sent to Vietnam and asked if anyone could cook. He raised his hand and impressed them enough that they kept him stateside while everyone else perished. He was no professional chef, but an upbringing of making due with what you got gave him a good ability in the kitchen. They gave him a bunch of acorn squash to make meals out of and he did just that. So I can officially say, I am here because of the acorn squash. Cheers.

During the Vietnam War women were in the armed forces but they were not permitted to serve in combat units nor on ships, submarines nor boats. That has all changed now. Allow me to suggest the German movie "All Quiet on the Western Front". Watch the version with subtitles, its better than the English dubbed version.
