Full Metal Jacket - top film. Banned from watching it with my missus as I can't help joining in with Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. "What's your major malfunction numbnut?" "You're so ugly you could be a god damned modern art masterpiece!" "Hell, I like you. You can come home and f**k my sister" "You climb like old people f**k!" "If I'm going to die for a word then that word is Poontang" "A JELLY DONUT?!!!" Someone else on Not606 got to the Hartman avatar before me, I've used it on other forums. Spot the mistakes in the film - a lot of it was shot in England, when they are running through the training camp you can see the road signs painted on the floor are for left hand traffic.
It's not just war movies that peddle patriotism to credulous simpletons. TV series like West Wing are virtually unwatchable at times due to people greetin' over flags and the reverential awe that just the office of the President instils in some of the characters.
Nobody seen the movie based on the Raping of Nanking in China. It's ****ing horrific what those Jap ****s got up to. Puts peoples moaning about the NATO "war-crimes" into perspective.
The Japanese troops committed some absolutely horrendous war crimes. Unlike the Nazis, a lot of the perpetrators got off scot free. Shameful
My mate's dad was in the far east in 1945. He spoke of the Japanese thusly: "we gave them a fair trial then hung them".
a bit like the troops involved in child prostitution whilst on UN 'peacekeeping' missions? The eventual winners of wars rewrite the history to suit themselves and to look heroic. the brits in india etc were no examples of heroic virtue The pentagon have wiped away 212 cases of child pornography, for example
oh yes very funny, i thought the british forces were fair and just? they were no better than the japanese.
