In this social comedy/drama aka "The Tribe" - Iron-willed drill instructor Drake (Darren McGavin) is faced with a difficult task: breaking hardened hippie Adrian (Jan-Michael Vincent). The outspoken Hippie draftee wants nothing to do with the war in Vietnam. Ironically, he's also a skilled marine who excels at every stage of basic training. Although they butt heads, and despite their their philosophical differences, the commander develops a grudging respect for Adrian that puts him in conflict with his own superiors.
This movie was first released on November 10th 1970 (which happened to be the Marine Corps' 195th birthday). For education, entertainment, enlightenment and inspiration. We hope you enjoy and even learn something. Never forget!

Went thru Marine Corps Boot Camp in 1971 at Parris Island, S. C. What they put you thru back then was for your own good, but you can't put it on paper, with what they could do to you and I saw plenty and took plenty. I made it out of bootcamp with PFC stripes (meritorious) and a whole new attitude that has gotten me thru ruff times in life to this present day. Haven't had a hair cut in years, but I honor my Senior Drill Instructor Sgt. Edward Hart who was a Vietnam veteran. Wish I could find him to thank him personally. Namaste. Semper Fi! From a Vietnam Era Marine Corps veteran.

i'm a Hollywood Marine from that time period... PLT 3098, Aug.-Nov 1971.. last series to drill/qual with the M14. Didn't know at the time, early on, why the Drill Instructors had that "looking over their shoulders" feel, was because this flick had just wrapped up filming and many of the production crews were still in the area," packing their trash". I think this was a CBS production and didn't air till the following year. Have to admit, when gathered around the TV, me and all the bro's who where there, had a good time pointing out all the "landmarks" of our MCRD. For TV, we all thought it was well done, and I think it won a few Emmys. Jan Michael Vincent was "the bomb" at that time, and was well on his way to movies..RIP... and Darren McGavin wasn't chopped liver either ! SEMPER FI TO ALL JARHEADS... NO MATTER WHAT ERA

This was a movie about the collision of two worlds. In one, was the hippie Adrian, who could have fit in as a Marine but chose to remain loyal to his credo of non-violence. In the other, was the DI SFC Drake, whose job it was to convert all his trainees to adopt the mindset of a Marine. Of the two, SFC Drake was the more interesting, as he was portrayed as a man who could change, and little by little he did. Then there was MSG DI De Payster, who could not change, and was determined to destroy any trainee who would refuse to adhere to the mindset of a Marine. The tragedy of this movie was that each actor was right. Both DIs noted that war cannot be avoided and there will always be a need to train young men to kill. But private Adrian was right too as he was and is needed to sound the voice of reason even if no one listens.

I served 20 years in the US Army, and reading this brings back memories. I joined roughly right after the Vietnam War. Sadly, due to the breakdown in society (sex, drugs, and rock and roll) and, of course, Vietnam, the military underwent a new transformation from top to bottom during the peacetime army that volunteered for service. I remember it as a difficult time, and changes had to be made for the military to move forward and be effective not only physically but also mentally. The country was deeply divided in all aspects of life, and our government made costly decisions that affected the lives of many veterans and their family members. I often wonder why. This is no different with the Gulf War and the pullout of Afghanistan, especially considering war in general. Thank you; the movie brought back memories!

My experiences are rooted in my military service during that time period. Having your own perspective is perfectly acceptable. I became part of the military culture in the 70s when I was just 17 years old and was deployed to Central America. The military faced numerous challenges during that era. My experience is more than just a story; it is a profound life experience. If you also served in the military during that time, we can share and discuss our respective experiences. I am well-informed about the events of the 60s and 70s. My family's history traces back to the Revolutionary War and even later wars.

This was made with anti-Vietnam sentiment in 1969. You couldn't have "Full Metal Jacket" or "Platoon" stuff on TV then or even in the movies. I drank the "kool-aid " in 1965, joined the USAF and spent 4 years in TAC as a weapons & munitions specialist. Vietnam was a loser from the start, put upon us by Lyndon Johnson and Robert McNamara. After the Ia Drang in Nov 1965 Col. Hal Moore told Gen Westmoreland you couldn't win a war of attrition against the North Vietnamese, who had been fighting enemies for hundreds of years. Robert McNamara didn't care and LBJ wanted a war win as his legacy. At that point the US had lost 305 personnel. 10 years later, 59,000+ Americans killed, hundreds of thousands physically and mentally messed up and billions of dollars wasted and it was over. Iraq and Afghanistan are proof the US govt either doesn't learn, doesn't care or both. Such a shame and profound waste .

The Vietnam war was still on going, the draft was on, people I knew was drafted and some volunteered. Most people was against the war back then and many were in the streets protesting against the war. There was draft dodgers and people burning the flag and burring their draft papers and some were leaving the country for Canada. The sentiment of most of the USA citizens was against the military and service men back then. You were much more likely to be cussed or spit upon and nobody said, "thank you for your service", like they do today.

Thank you for posting this movie. It is an excellent movie that I only barely had heard of before. The characters are believeable from the perspective of this older veteran of that time. I cannot believe how well done it is and that the Marines approved, although I can understand from certain ways they would like its' portrayals and all the excellent footage of Marine Boot camp. This takes me back to the similarities to my Army Basic Training in many ways. It is difficult to transition a group of civilians from varying backgrounds into a potential (potential because only real battle does it) efficient fighting force. I became a 'hippy' after my war experiences to a limited degree. I was one to agree to authority and accept the role assigned me and to fight in that god-awful war in Vietnam. I am proud of what I did but would not wish it on anyone in the future. Still, though I dislike nationalism, we do need an effect and efficient fighting force to protect our country.

When I joined the Canadian military in 1979 little did I know that within a year of me finally retiring in 1999, I'd become a drill instructor myself. It was great to experience both sides. I don't believe I'd ever seen this movie before, though there would be many others over the years that many of us would enjoy and of course critique as to their accuracy in bringing forth what bootcamp was all about. "Tribes", like all the other films definitely present elements of what we all went through. The closing discourse between McGavin and Vincent's characters upon the very principle of purpose within the theme of recruiting a nation citizens was excellent. McGavin was fully correct in the bedrock traits of man and the inviolet supremacy of the state. Vincent's thoughts were correct in that an individual will only always see their own newborn utopian ideals as to how life and liberty should be interpreted. Individuals will always have a place within the state but only if they learn to most loyally say; "Yes Sir"!
