>SJW critics hate it because it doesn't take a hard political stance one way or the other, which makes it pro-war in an SJW's mind >SJW critics also hate it because it highlights the fact that deployed soldiers get cheated on
Not bad movie, though that drill scene where the soldier gets killed was always weird.
From what I remember about the book the guys seemed more like a baby.
Nicholas Jones
>sjw's hate it
Stop with your fucking boogie man-strawman shit you fucking child. That being said it was a good movie.
Charles Morgan
> though that drill scene where the soldier gets killed was always weird. i don't remember that part, remind me what happened again?
Jonathan Reed
This. Fucking go outside away from your computer and you'll realise that sjw don't exist in the real world
Anthony Williams

get real, ever been on a university campus?
Jackson Thomas
They're doing like a training but where they're crawling through the mud while Jamie fox is shooting a machine gun with live rounds. Some guy just gets up and gets shot in the head
Josiah Miller
IIRC some dude got up during a trench crawl livefire exercise and gets his head blown off.
Alexander Ortiz
These. This board is fucking embarrassing. You're literally making up something to complain about in your mind, no one actually thinks that about this movie besides MAYBE some random movie reviewers on the internet. Who Gives A Flying Fuck. Get a hobby you fucking loser.
Charles Lewis
This. Seriously fucking this!!
Jose Roberts
all you faggot
Benjamin Hughes
Where the fuck are you getting these sjw strawmen from?
Joshua Howard
Sh. This is Sup Forums. We pretend the boogeyman is real here.
Jaxon Hughes
Have you?
For every "SJW" there's ten more people who are there to learn, graduate, and go on to boring 9 to 5 jobs. The news reports about campus liberalism because people eat that shit up.
Most of it is just 18-20 year old kids being know it alls anyway because 18-20 year olds are all insufferable cunts anyway.
Brody Wright
Yeah. Whats your point? >there's a queer space in a building I'll never need to go to! >fucking sjws ruining my life!!
Adrian Bell
>perfectly captures the life of the modern grunt That's not generation kill
Logan Reed
SJWhores are all pro-war now, though.
They honestly would go to war with Russia, and also take out Assad.
David Sullivan
Nah I'm one of them
James Reed
It captures the reality of the forst gulf war very well. If you werent in an apache or an abramsit was 4 days of nothing.
But from 2002 to 2010 amy shooter saw action. I am a fucking pussy and i have a silver star.
Jarhead is absolutely nothing like a modern grunt.
Aiden Wood
>The news reports about campus liberalism because people eat that shit up.
MSM rarely reports on the negatives of such.
The only reports released are in favor of whatever crazy shit we see is going on.
Daniel Hill
I'm so glad I got kicked out of the military for refusing to have a cavity pulled.
Gavin Lee
Hurt Locker did a better job.
Jack Fisher
Did you miss all the anti-war rallies and stop trump from starting WW3 rhetoric? Don't confuse SJWs with the establishment left
Lucas Bennett
I didn't say they report on the negatives, just that it's reported. Liberals click the links to feel enlightened, conservatives click the links to shake their heads at what the crazy liberals do.
Also Breitbart and Fox News report on the negatives of campus liberalism all the time, but I guess they don't count as mainstream.
Henry Peterson
There was hardly any.
They were over other reasons; women's rights and illegals.
The MSM and average lefties are all for overthrowing Assad now, and taking on Russia.
Zachary Bailey
WAT? The term SJW didn't come into use until 2009. Jarhead was released in 2005.
Bentley Turner
Didja get a fuckin keel man?
Dominic Cox
Thaht doesnt happen though. You have to go through live fire in basic, but the cadre are shooting the 50 cals from a 50 foot berm.
Your in more danger drom the natural gas flares they set off than the 50 cal rounds. Or the very real razor wire you have to crawl under.
John Hughes
So Trump is a liberal now?
Jonathan Harris
I just hated the first bit for wanting to be like Full Metal Jacket. Skipping the intro makes for a great film.
Dominic Roberts
>>SJW critics hate Jarhead
I don't think SJWs were a thing in 2005, reddit.
Sebastian Bailey
All I remember was hardcore Bush supporters expecting a badass patriotic action flick and getting pissed off when it wasnt that at all
Henry Brooks
Fuck you. Hurt locker is beyond unrealistic. Nobody, no fucking body in the us military goes on a one man one vehicle patrol. Shut up about things you know nothing about.
Jordan Baker
>>perfectly captures the life of the modern grunt No it doesn't
Blake Martin
Pretty much. Hes being controlled by his democrat/soros supporting (((son in law)))
Caleb Nelson
Hurt Locker did a better job of capturing that "am I gonna die today or not" feeling, unrealistic as it may be.
Jared was just a snorefest...which may have been what Gulf War fags went through. I don't know, I went to a real war.
Robert Rodriguez
Usually when this happens the guy gets sent home immediately
Luke Parker
That shit happens in real life. I watched this movie with my dad, he said 2 guys in his group died under similar circumstances going through basic before Vietnam.
As far as the movie goes, I thought it was quite good, but extremely mis-advertised. I remeber the trailer looking like it was gonna be an action movie
Adam Hill
Apocalypse Now did it better than both
Zachary White
Actually your an idiot. Eod sits aroundin their pt shorts all day untill the sappers find a bomn too nig for them to blow up. And eod rolls out with a single truck ALL THE FUCKING TIME.
i was a sapper i almost became eod before i got blown up real bad. I escorted eodall the fucking time and called them out even more.
Eod rolls single trucks. I've seen it.
Nathaniel Lewis
an accurate but stupid movie
Luis Collins
my friend who was in the navy said some guy drowned while in boot camp
Adrian Jackson
>One person Fucking tard
Adam Thompson
I thought he was the best, the smartest guy, like a really smart person?
John Young
You can always tell when the underage posters start threads. At least try and not make it obvious
Jace Thomas
What are you talking about?
Lincoln Torres
Yeah I figured, just a weird scene in the movie
Mason Harris
It's been around for quite a while actually, it's just the usage wasn't as mainstream and its usage didn't have the negative connotations it has today.
Samuel Jenkins
Are you dense? He's obviously talking about how if Trump was as smart as he claims he is then why would he be controlled by his son-in-law
Bentley Carter
First thing I ever jacked off too. Shit caught me off guard when I was 12
Alexander Barnes
No you don't
Aaron Torres
That's like saying a gold ingot is better than a lump of shit.
Jose Clark
Hey jackass, the strawmen characters le colbert makes up arent real. Did it ever occur to you that someone could vote for Trump and still realize hes a blithering ass? Or that he was better than Hillary?
I guarantee that you only hate Trump because hes "racist"
Dominic Adams
They definitely were going for that in their ads, with showing all the oil field fires and having Jesus walks playing in the commercials.
Charles Taylor
They have 5 man teams. Normally an eod truck is 4 manned. Driver, tc, gunner and robot operator.
I literally lived this shit for 8 years. I am sapper tabbed. Your fucking wrong. Eod rolls single trucks all the fucking time.
You think eod teams have 30+ man platoons?
Andrew Jackson
>willing voting for a blithering ass Christ America
Noah Walker
>when people say they didn't like Jarhead because "nothing happens"
Landon Taylor
yes because its better than an openly wall street controlled war mongering corrupt cunt
Blake Howard
Hold on. You're saying people actually voted for Trump even if they realized how stupid he was? That is one of the most retarded things I've ever heard
Michael Torres
Are you talking about Trump or Hillary? I honestly can't tell.
Brandon Johnson
literally none of the mixed or negative blurbs on metacritic mention either of those things, you're arguing with people in your head you complete sperg
Sebastian Williams
>Openly wall street controlled and war mongering So exactly what Trump is and you somehow deluded yourself that one was better than the other? You really need to ditch the two party system
Blake Myers
>Hurt Locker did a better job of capturing that "am I gonna die today or not" feeling
This was more what I was getting at, showing the mental capacity soldiers are challenged with and how it changes them. The "If I'm gonna die I'm gonna die comfortable" scene was particularly memorable.
Hudson Long
people mix up increased news reports with an actual increase of the event all the time
Hunter Green
He was better than the alternative, lol.
Bentley Baker
That was the dumbest scene though. Literally no eod or sapper would do that. Eods are the nerds but even nerds dont want to die.
When your pushed, killing is as easy as breathing.
Also the best war movie is platoon. Because it isnt about the killing. Its about the 30 ass holes your stuck with for a year.
Elijah Myers
because of the circumstances or because the guy becomes mentally compromised?
Jonathan Peterson
I know it's not realistic, I mean it shows that some guys crack to the point of not caring anymore after serving so long. Danger, violence, whatever becomes their lives.
Hence so many soldiers being violent and aggressive when they return to society.
Jace Peterson
>war movie written by a leftist cuck is the best
Grayson Ross
Was the war worth it?
Camden Cooper
>muhwarfilm fans hate it because it doesn't romanticize war like band of brothers
i really liked its verisimilitude but everyone at the time was complaining about lack of action
Parker Peterson
A leftist cuck that was an infantry man in nam and has a purple heart.
The movie is not about the village scene. The movie is about the 30 guys you fucking hate but will die for.
If you never served you probably cant understand.
Asher Rodriguez
>But from 2002 to 2010 amy shooter saw action. >Jarhead is absolutely nothing like a modern grunt.
tfw peacetime commando who did less than gulf war vets. 2011-2016, so I think a better perspective of the "modern" grunt. I can identify with some the sentiments in Jarhead, but Buffalo Soldier is the GOAT.
Jack Myers
classic liberal
Tyler Morris
china numba one
Dylan Brooks
>before i got blown up real bad
how fucked did your shit get? permanent damage?
Oliver Lopez
>2 meme actors no thanks
Cameron Howard
>Watch movie as a teen >Like it >Watch it again after my service >It's spot on All you do is jerk off and go insane for 3 years
Asher Sullivan
I broke myhip and fucked my legs. I dislocated 2 spine bones. I could never rum right again so i took my discharge.
In total over my 3 deployments i helped disarm 287 ieds. I regret nothing.
Bentley Carter
>dont exist in the real world
what the fuck are you even talking about?
Mason Cox
Except you know in the media and half of politics
Luis Lewis
I think this is a movie that women cannot possibly understand
Jaxon Myers
>Berkly doesnt exist
Oh thank Christ
Wyatt Cruz
Why do Americans glorify their soldiers so much? I'd understand if they actually did something to protect the average American citizen, but why glorify people that volunteer to die for Israel?
Lincoln Barnes
My favorite part is how good it felt to kill someone is and how excited jake gylakhlehall's character was to get a kill in the movie. When I joined the recruiter semi-mocked me by telling me I was going to be a killer and the beauty of basic and soi is they can mold anyone who is not determined to not kill into not giving a fuck.
Jack Green
>surprised by SJW view on war
They shitcanned a video game based on the battle of fallujah because it showed muslims killing american soldiers.
Brayden Howard
>something in the way starts playing
Noah Ortiz
>>Berkly doesnt exist Indeed.
Jonathan Reed
Most likely the later.
Nathaniel Ross
that song was great in the movie. perfectly captures that angsty grunt/war emotion
Noah Brown
I thought that movie was good when I was 14 and hadn't seen Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, Come and See, or any other decent war movies.
Jake Gyllenhall's not a bad actor but he was horribly miscast for this.
Anthony Cox
I love this movies especially this one..then american sniper with bradley..but my favorite is the one with hawkeye dude as a bomb squad guy.
somebody got a special tip ? not the onbvious or old ones please
Jack Lopez
Has Sup Forums really poisoned your mind that you think a game called battle of fallujah wouldn't be in bad taste? It's not like it was a distant war, it's still in recent memory.
Joseph Gomez
Of course, it solidified relations with Saudi Arabia, ensuring their role as regional enforcer and oil exporter along with Kuwait. It had the best ROI since the Banana Wars.
