Welcome to the suck. 6 months of waiting for 4 days of "battle".
Finally a decent yet different war genre movie set during the first
Gulf War, which featured what was touted by Saddam as the Mother of
All Battles, not. Jarhead is based upon the book by former Marine
Anthony Swofford, on his experiences in the Desert Shield and
Desert Storm operations.
But we start the journey from the beginning, at the boot camp, and
that, to many NS men, will bring back fond memories of the BMT days
when nasty drill sergeants rained down vulgarity filled commands,
and punishments meted out from whims and fancies. You'll chuckle
wholeheartedly, but of course not when you're at the receiving end.
The burly platoon mates, the sexual innuendos, the male bonding
sessions in the bunks, the various antics, the talk-cock sessions;
nostalgic I tell you.
