To: an amused spectator

My husband was a Marine grunt on the frontlines during the Gulf War. He was with 3/7, Lima Co., Weapons Plt. They saw a lot of action. They went in and cleared some mine fields before taking Al Jabar airport. He had nightmares for years because of it. He absolutely refused to see the "Jarhead" movie. He read part of the book and got so mad, I thought he was going to have a stroke. He said the guy that wrote it is full of crap. Most of the book is garbage and didn't happen.

Jake Gyllenhaal isn't man enough to walk in a real Marines shoes. And from his vantage point, has absolutely no idea what went on. His OPINION isn't worth the air it was spoken with.

Would you thank your husband for me? The movie looked very anti-military when the previews first came out. I had to verify that Oliver Stone didn't direct it.

"His OPINION isn't worth the air it was spoken with."

Opinions are like anuses; everyone has one....and most of them, like Gyllenhaal's, stink.
