Its not the whole movie per say that the Marines relate too.. Its the realistic portrayl of a DI that Ermery gave in that movie. It was the 2nd time he acted as a DI as he also did it in the movie "The Boys from Company C".

You said it so well I won't waste my finger muscles.

SEMPER FI

This post inspired me to relive my life a little and rent the movie for the first half.

Closed eyes. Turned up very loud. Then Mrs. CT came back from shopping, and I was jarred back to 2005 from 35 years ago.

Incidentally, another good Marine moview with R. Lee is FIREBASE GLORIA.
