I assumed it was just a reference to a movie/show I haven't seen. Point is, he's being a smartass and cracking a joke at an inappropriate time, mocking the drill sergeant's whole schtick.

I thought he was comparing the Drill Sargent to the western star in a mocking way

>Point is, he's being a smartass and cracking a joke at an inappropriate time, mocking the drill sergeant's whole schtick.
That's a given, I'm just trying to know what's the line about.

NO BOOM BOOM SOUL BROTHA

He says "Is this me?" because he realized he was the one doing the John Wayne voice and not the guy he was asking

It is a reference to another one of the author's short stories.

which is?

I always thought it was because the drill sargeant was making homophobic remarks to cowboy so joker was kind of alluding that the drill sargeant was a closet fag just like john wayne.
All I can say is the line that follows is the single greatest piece of screen writing ever recited by an actor, even though it was totally ad libbed.

"Is that you John Wayne? Is this me?" 1972.

How many pull ups can Sup Forums do?

Gomer was chubby, but he wasn't so fat that he couldn't do a single pull up.

Oh shit it makes sense now!

Damn, never knew that.

He was trying to get washed out.

The only characters with any bravery are Joker, Pyle, and the sniper.

He looks pretty tall, which puts him AT LEAST at 90-100 kg. with that kind of belly, and if you never exercised doing a pull up at that weight ain't easy.

>He was trying to get washed out.
Nigger they were marines. Its 100% voluntary organization.
Its the army that had the draft.

Then he was trying his best to keep up.

A proper form pullup is impossible to do without training. All of them are doing kipping pull ups anyway but the point stands that you're an obese idiot

>90-100 kg

in english, professor?

>be Lawrance
>to young to realize the shit-hole his generation was tricked into buying into.
>just want to go home and not deal with the endless hystaria.
>decieved by your "peers" that murder training is whats right for the world.

Oh sorry that would be 15 stones so roughly a half sack.

This makes so much sense but at the same time it doesnt

thanks

...

A LOT of new military enlistees have second thoughts about once they're in basic training.
Most of them get over it, but some don't. And failing PT is one way to get out.

You mean here? Animal Mother is pretty brave

THAT'S NOT A WARFACE! SHOW ME YOUR GODDAMN WARFACE Sup Forums

No it doesn't. Being self-referential means only he would get the reference.
