It doesn't seem to have a direct link, but if you click the story on the main page, the review by Col. North will pop up.
I saw a commercial for the movie, but hadn't heard whether it was a pro-American movie, or so much leftist propoganda. I'll trust Oliver North's take on the movie and keep my money in my pocket.

This movie is making a lot of money and getting rave reviews from critics and viewers, unfortunately.

Unfortunately my wife and I didn't and she's been bitching about how awful it portrayed the Marines ever since.
Now, the other half of the story is that my wife calls my son at Camp Lejeune knowing that he saw the movie and he says it was pretty good, but not enough action. Didn't change my wife's opinion.

I don't think hollywierd has the people with the guts to show our military in other wya than as criminals
being communist minded, they can't see boosting morale or anything close

Best bet with a film like this one is to wait until it comes out on DVD. Then you can hop around in it missing the BS you don't like and playing the other stuff you do like over and over.
Or, make your own "patriotically edited" version, copy it and pass it among your friends.

Jarhead is anti-everything that is good and decent. "Democrat Party" or "MSM" can be substituted for "Jarhead" in this sentence and the accuracy remains.

Saw 'Jarhead' earlier this past week. On a scale of 5 stars (5 best) the movie in my opinion is a 3 star. Being a former 'Jarhead' I felt the bootcamp depiction was fairly accurate but over all the movie was over dramatized. To much 'Jody' crap ... in my Marine Corps experience I never heard of 'Jody'. In fact when I was in the Corps 'OORRRAAAH' had not evolved yet.

Put your money on Zathura instead. I saw it last night with some friends, and it was actually a very enjoyable movie. Much better than the Jumanji-clone that it's been portrayed to be.

North nails it. No redeeming qualities in the Marines in this movie. Only cynicism, crassness and even homosexuality.
