I saw an interview that Ermy gave once in which he said that Kubrick basically let him write his own part and write his own lines.

“I saw an interview that Ermy gave once in which he said that Kubrick basically let him write his own part and write his own lines.”

Kubrick probably looked at the lines that had been written, listened to the actual former Marine and threw the script away.
Smart move on Kubrick’s part.
