Give my regards to the late Sgt. Hulka in the Great Beyond (or the actor who played him).

R. Lee Ermey died according to a tweet from Donald Trump Jr.
Damn.RIP Gunny.You are still tops in my book.
Thanks for posting, I’m ruined. Met him once, at MCRD, you never saw Marines eyes glow like they did when he was talking.
Carry on Gunny, Semper fi. See ya downrange.
I always thought of Darren McGavin from "Tribes".
He played the town mayor in Mississippi Burning.
I loved him in the Geico commercial where he played a psychiatrist and threw the tissue box at the young man who was his patient.

But overlooked are his roles as the victim's father in "Dead Man Walking" or the judge in "Murder in the First". He got cast as the military hard-ass a lot but he proved he was capable of a lot more.
R.I.P.
He was the real deal. No need in talking about his life. We all know it. He was a patriot like no other. The Siege at Fire Base Gloria might be the best Vietnam War movie ever made. Ermey wrote the screen play.
RIP Gunny.

It was the most accurate bootcamp movie I have ever seen.
Semper Fi gunny.
I met him and he signed one of his Glock pics for me.
I think it may be a hoax TMZ dosent have it
You’re final PCS!
Oh no. What a wonderful, American, man.
Godspeed, Marine and thank you.
Wikipedia has April 15, 2018, for his date of death...but they haven’t revised the entry (still some present-tense verbs in the article). The article says that GEICO fired him in 2011 after he criticized the Obama administration for its economic policies. Apparently he was blacklisted by Hollywood from that point on.
