Gotcha Brother, I'll keep that in mind. Gotta go n seek more knowledge first Sir!

The Vietnam scenes were just as great.

I can only imagine. What a horrific war. I add my comments but cannot ever imagine.... I respect... thank you all...

​@@stevebrazilioVietnam was a conflict, not a war.

@@JL-XrtaMayoNoCheese isn’t every war a conflict? What’s Ukraine and Russia? Sorry, just playing Devil’s Advocate and totally respect your opinion.

THAT. IS BECAUSE BOOT. CAMP. IS BOOK KNOWLEDGE NOT COMBAT. EXPERIENCE

Yeah, it's really to just train you on the very basics. Marching, basic marksmanship, etc. It's also used to break you from civilian habits and condition you for military service. It's when you get to your actual unit where you learn combat skills and train, based upon what type of unit you're in. i.e. mechanized, airborne, air assault, cavalry, and so on.

You should read the book it's based on, "The Short Timers" by Gustav Hasford. Kubrick had to tone it down considerably to get it on the screen, it's an even crazier read than the movie, but you just can't show the audience a man and his water buffalo getting run over by an inattentive tank driver, now can you?

how do you know, were you there?

@@robertaccornero7172 lmao... I'm assuming you are joking and I think it's hilarious

Drill Sergeants are in the Army. Drill Instructors in the Marine Corps.

Marines die, but the Marien Corps live forever, hence you live forever!

Are you a marine?

R Lee ermy actually stated that his character was a terrible drill instructor

Amen

Yeah 1 inch drop ever 100yrds

Same. It needn't be there but it is and makes the scene quality.

What does he say before and after that? I can’t make it out unfortunately. Thanks!

What does he say? Always sounds like leeeddooodelleeedodododongelong

"Your bouncing!" Cant tell you how many times I heard that in boot... very accurate detail

@Randall Mellott kicked like a mule on auto fire too, and the ammo was also a good deal heavier. I read that it wasn't just a fault in the M16 it was also a fault in the powder type used in the rounds in the early years of production and in doctrine for maintenance. Apparently some genius decided to tell the troops the gun was self cleaning and didn't need to be cleaned. The ammo rounds also initially issued used stick(extruded) powder instead of ball powder and stick powder was incompatible with the weapon. Once they fix the ammo problem, got the troops to start cleaning them on a regular basis and made a couple of upgrades in the A2 and A3 version it became a much better weapon.

One of the finest rifles I EVER fired. As a civilian it was even more exciting 😲

This is a phrase I don't think I will ever forget, forever burnt into my brain

David B fun=masturbating

lol childs play

David B ....This one shoots bullets...this one shoots cum

What is this mickey mouse shit!

I bet that movie scene had so many bloopers and laughs.

The tool does what the heart behind says to. That goes for guns, hammers, everything really. What he means is, anyone can hold a gun, but if the heart behind the gun ain't willing to kill, it won't kill. If the heart behind the gun is ready to kill, it will kill. Wether that's good or bad, it's the same thing.

Blue Moon218 it’s a tool with a singular purpose, killing. And small caliber weapons chambered in .223 or smaller obviously have no use in sport/sustenance hunting or home defense so if gonna talk about GC let’s be realistic, now.

and yet another event happened again

*Ban all assassult super clip belt box weapons*

Politicians take notes

It's funny because it's true.

So true man

🤣🤣🤣😂😂

My retort would of been "Maybe your Mamma knows"

@@scottr3484 couldn’t see that workin out too well for you

It's a really nice touch that Private Cowboy knows the answer because he was from Texas. He probably got all the local news reports when Whitman went nuts at UT and climbed the tower on campus and started shooting people.

"Eskimo pussy is mighty cold" got me 😂😂

Jesus it break them

HolyknightVader999 this movie is anti war with the racism and dehumanization of war. The scene of the us helicopter gunner shooting and killing civilians was one example.

HolyknightVader999 Indeed, this is the only war film I can think of that is embraced by both anti-war folks and those who served in combat. An amazing accomplishment that only Stanley Kubrick could have pulled off.

I think when he was actually asked in an interview Stanley cubrik said it wasn't anti war or pro war. It was just there to show what war actually was

laughing skull that was Francis Ford Coppola for apocalypse now... I think this movie is very anti-war

You've missed the point

Ooh Rah

Just curious you say you smile when watching this. Does that mean you enjoyed boot camp?

@@kalebseiler8577 It could have been worse, it could have been better.

@@kalebseiler8577 boot camp is nothing compared to the experience of the next 3 to 6 years in the Marine Corps. Some will hate and it some will cherish it.

waterhead001 I think someone like Private Pyle would’ve been sent home

In the book when he gets shot he considers his training of him a success.

Pretty sure a hardened drill instructor isn’t thinking that pussy shit

He wanted a killing machine he got successful

Apparently R Lee Ermy thought that Hartman was a bad DI and that a good one would have recognized that Pyle was about to snap and gotten him the Hell out of there. In the very beginning of the movie in his first speech Hartman says his orders are to weed out any non hackers who are not fit to serve in his beloved Corp. That being the case Pyle should have been weeded out with a Section 8 and discharged.

That's a leader

He fukced with Private Pyle one to many time and received a dose of hot lead in return.

@Randall Mellott For all we know, then-Pvt. Hartman could have been a "Pvt. Pyle" in his boot camp days.

@Randall Mellott That was handled when Hartman went to Boot Camp.

Hartman was a psycho.

He seen some shit

most SNCOs are in their late 30s but look 50

It's more of a severe look than aged. He looks rock hard. Pyle had to shoot him in the chest and hget an instant kill. Otherwise Hartman would have charged him, taken the gun and shot him back, all without saying "ouch".

Yes and they always have a bathroom scene

Symmetry plays a significant roll in Kubrick films as much as it does in Bach music.

There's nothing wrong with the grammar, kid.

@chris brunelle you did it on purpose...you want to different

profd65 I'm pretty sure he said "dumbasses knows" which is incorrect. I think it should be "dumbasses know".

@@2dhoes240 no, it's not incorrect. 'None' means 'not one', so it's singular.

They are so rude and mean to everyone. What's the USMC's history? Where did they spawn from. The Revolution? Shirking real battle to guard ships? In the Civil War they were a no factor. Meanwhile the National Guard had been fighting and protecting since the 1630's. Belleau Wood, a brigade detachment. Nothing to with protecting Paris or cracking the Hidenburg line. or St. Quentin. Whatever though. They really came from nowhere. And act like the authority. Not to harp, I just disagree with just about everything. They are suppose to help those become better husbands, sons, fathers and brothers. But instead they do everything wrong

@@RobertSmith-xt4ms If you think recruits are there to be better husbandsor sons. They are rifleman first. You are a grade A idiot. Don't add not to harp or anything like that. You did this specifically to "harp". It is the same as going " no offense" after saying something horribly offensive. If you have a problem with any branch of the military, that is a you problem. No need to be disrespectful towards those branches outwardly.

@@RobertSmith-xt4ms The marine corp has been around since before the United States become united. November 10th, 1775 is the birthday of the Marine corp. I'm afraid you have been misinformed. Marines are not meant to become better husbands or fathers, they are trained to become killers.

We still had to lock em up, but they said we couldnt take our rifles to the head because of this movie.

Emperor Palpatine We weren't allowed to take anything to the head except hygiene shit. Figured they didn't want recruits trying shit in there.

USA NEEDS THE MARINE CORPS! SEMPER FI!

Oct 1965 for me platoon 1009. Still remember the details

44 years ago for me

no sand fleas either.

just as i watched this video, i noticed all the british road markings and left hand lanes they marched over!

Filmed in Bassingbourne Barracks. I know, cos I did my training there. The bit you see on the left hand side all boarded up, was a red phone box. They had to make it 'disappear', otherwise it would have made it too obvious it was filmed in England. Incidentally, the building on the left was the Cookhouse/NAAFI.

As Kubrick was living in Hertfordshire at the time (and in fact HAD been since 1961) it seemed convenient..........

The graduation scene was filmed on the parade deck on PI. You could see the elevated steam pipes prevalent in the background. One thing that always bothered me was Private Pyle was in front of his squad while marching or running while Gunny was calling cadence. This would have made him squad leader. 4 squads, 1 platoon. I highly doubt the Gunny would afford a screwup like Pyle the honor of squad leader.

The wonderful Lee Stew FMJ Crew.

It's a hard heart that kills that would be a good statement for the gun control people it's not the guns it's the hard heart!

Mark Arnott drill instructor not drill sergeants that’s army 🤦🏾‍♂️

I met a man like him, in junior high no less! Colonel Robert B "Pappy" Nett, industrial arts teacher at Fort Jr High school. If he saw us goofing off, he'd yell "Quit dickin' around!" He was a well known man with celebrity status in our town, and was greatly missed when he passed. As a kid I never truly understood I was in the presence of a legendary hero. Now...I get it. RIP Col Nett, the greatest soldier I've ever met

Best time? This looks like literal Hell on Earth

25 yrs watching this movie,,, and NEVER knew wtf he was saying "haydo-o-' .. OUTFUCKINGSTANDING Pvt Donovan,,, well done

Tobias Dubose Physically and Mentally

Tobias Dubose 4:04 didn't help, either

Tobias,his own weaknes did that,not Hartman...

Tobias Dubose Private Pyle.exe has crashed

Not in a good way either.

@Randall Mellott If it is with in range of the target.

You learn and fast 😉!!!!

I guess it's the Band of Brothers feeling . You were all in it together.

It's a hard heart that kills not the gun this is what the gun control people should learn!

Interesting observation. Thanks.

For very private reasons, Kubrick did not particularly like Los Angeles/Hollywood.

*Drill Instructor

U marine or playing a smartass?

And he passed away 2 yrs. ago. Semper Fi Gunny.

String?

Tom Justis Really? I thought you couldn’t say “I” because it signals selfishness of a recruit.

I went through in July/November of 1971 Plt. 163 Alpha Co. 1st Bn. I avoided the Quonset hut experience but did get to try out the 1-day motivation platoon for snapping my trigger housing group back in prematurely during rifle instruction. Not because I was a chronic offender, I just happened to be the "example" of the day. Oh, the memories! And no, wouldn't change a thing!

Tom Justis you forgot the fact that you call him drill instructor instead of sir

Alti2de did you end up in Nam🤔

Mick Funny, no, at that point the war was winding down, the closest I ever got to Viet Nam was Okinawa in November of 1974 - January 1976. I along with everyone else in Bn. watched the chaotic evacuation from Saigon on the AFRTS tv station there on Okinawa. I always felt badly about never being allowed to "do my part" until I was told by a few men who had really been there that I was lucky to NOT have been sent. I didn't understand at first, since I was young and had no clue what he meant. I have learned since that they were correct. I've seen and heard the horror stories of some of the survivors of that "police action", and although I still regret to some degree NOT being sent, I understand why they told me what they did.

You joke like this, at least make it funny

KZfaq YT And what’s your point? Be original and make up your own comment instead of doing copy paste.

I served in the Marines from 70-74, but I went through the Army's Military Police School at Ft. Gordon, Ga. (Nine Marines in my company, everyone else was Army or N.G.) It amused the hell out of me that we used the 'Country Joe and the Fish' anti-war "Vietnam Song" as a marching cadence. Never would have heard that in the Corps but it worked surprisingly well.

So you did that on purpose you want to be different

RoatanDoug Did you serve or are you still enlisted?

Uhm ? You said marines but then you said army ..

Have you seen any regiment in the UK army. The guards, for example
