Such an iconic voice. He managed to simultaneously make me laugh and scare shit out of me in Full Metal Jacket.
He was the best! Rip
Apocalypse Now and Boys In Company C as well!!
Alot of justice was handed out like that in that time. Want to go to jail or join the service.
I loved mail call
He was great in Texas Chainsaw Massacre!
A man not to be fucked with.
So he always had those magnificent eyebrows. I imagined he earned them with rank.
A goddamn modern art masterpiece.
I have a friend that was given the same option, jail or Marines. Dude just earned a Medal of Honor.
Makes you think…
And then went to acting school in Thailand on the GI Bill!
‘If your killer instinct is not hardened, you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. You will be killed. You will become dead marines. And then you will be in a world of shit, because marines are not allowed to die without permission!’
RIP GUNNY!
GET THE FUCK DOWN OFF OF MY OBSTACLE PRIVATE PYLE!!!
Sounds like a subplot to starship troopers.
Bad joke alert: “You can choose jail R Lee Ermey” (or the army)
Idk but I’ve always shipped him as Miley Cyrus’ granddad
Of course, if he had known there was a war going on, he probably would have apologized.
Had a high school friend supposedly get the same option. Took the enlistment. Broke up a fight on FOB and was shortly after killed by “friendly” fire. He was a great guy, very intelligent. But he also definitely knew how to stir shit up. Still miss him though. The other guy who helped him break the fight up was also killed.
WHATS YOUR NAME FAT BODY!?!
My dad used to say it was either 10 in the pen or 4 in the core😂😂
