An experience completely unrelated to the movie in a country far removed from the plot?
This movie, while well done and entertaining, is nothing but a Rob Reiner wet dream. It is a hit piece on the military, and particularly the Marine Corps. Aside from many other problematic issues, the idea that Col. Jessep would actually respond in any way that would implicate himself is absurd.
In the film one of the issues involved a situation where the defendant's "mirror" engaged. The idea expressed by pol-92064 is that the scenes and situations presented in the film are serious business, and he has personal experience with them. I have a friend who served on the Korean DMZ. It was the very same situation.
And yet you seem to think you are entitled to call him out because you imagine his experience isn't applicable when it clearly is.
Perhaps instead of doubling down on dumb, you should have just said "thank you" and then gone on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, it's likely no one here gives a damn what you think you're entitled to.
