Well, there's a sneak preview screening at my college tonight. Free admission, first come first serve. Hopefully I can get my shift off/traded tonight and make it to the show. If so, I'll let you know how it goes! Well, to a certain extent. Good or bad, I believe that I'll endorse the movie, even if I may not agree with this particular Marine's stance. But we'll just wait and see.

ACK! I'm not saying it's political! I'm saying that the book comes off as him regarding the Marines as negative! That's all I meant by "stance"!

Well in that case, Good Afternoon, Sir. Thank you for your service, and I'll keep you in mind if I have the chance to see the film tonight.
P.S. (Is it good or bad that you wouldn't have responded?)
EDIT: And here's some Marine info for you to chew on RT- Marine Special Forces

good because I know what you meant. I've read too many response on various board where dipshits think this is a movie about the current times and think its a politically driven type movie.

I'm A Marine "Grunt", "Groundpounder", "Bullet Catcher", "Human Shield", "Jarhead", "Leatherneck", If You Will, And Id Never Be Caught Anywhere Near That GD Osprey!! It Is A Great Theoretical Piece Of Machinery, But The Inherent Liabilities That Come With Deploying That Thing In A Combat Scenario Are Disgusting! I Would Rather Hump 30 Miles Into A Combat Zone Than Ride The 15 Minutes It Would Take In That Piece!!! There's Something Wrong With Landing That Craft Anywhere Near A Combat Zone Making The Transition From Forward Facing Rotor To Overhead. God!!!! Think About How Much Time An Enemy Would Have To Engage You! You Could Get Shot Down With Small Arms Fire Much Less Some Sort Of Rocket Or RPG!!! If It Were Up To Me Id Live With The Blisters On My Feet!
To Address The Movie:
If You Havent Read The Book, Dont Assume This Has Some Sort Of Political Agenda To It...It Doesn't. It Is Solely About A Marines Experiences/Confusions/Inner Demons/And Overcoming Mental Obstacles!
In Short He Really Didn't Know What He Was Getting Himself Into When He Joined. (As Most Any Marine Will Tell You Is The Case, Especially If You're An Infantry MOS)
