Why is it impossible for you to grasp that US Marines...who are taught to be killing machines...to...under certain battle conditions...lose their sanity?



taught to be killing machines ?
i find this a very strange comment and offensive to any Marine and their families.

Have you ever spoken to a Marine fresh out of BootCamp?

I realize movies are primarily entertainment, but more than one Marine has confirmed that the 1st half of the movie FULL METAL JACKET...where they start with getting their head shaved until graduation...is SPOT ON as far as the emotional and physical abuse Marine recruits undergo.

I suggest you watch it before you start claiming you're "offended".

My thoughts 'zactly. If that's what he thinks of Marines, he doesn't know any Marines.
