Full metal jackets first part during the training stage on Paris island is a classic the 2nd part where they get deployed to Vietnam wasn't so good. The drill instructor played by lee emervy is still remembered to this day even though he was probably onscreen for half the movie.

Not Paris island, it Parris Island.

Tat is a kids movie,,,not even worth mentioning,,everything was so PC and so 'G' rated,,if the was was fought like that, the yanks would have won,,,

Tour of Duty focus was never about the battles. It was about he behind the scenes politics, camp issues, etc...

It is quite different from shows like hamburger hill

Yeah, the "*". hehehehehehe. :biggrin:

Tour Of Duty was all right until they started to have the romances between Sgt Anderson and the female psychologist and between Lt Goldman and the female reporter. That's when it started going downhill. :wink:

I think you forgot the "*" :smile:

M.A.S.H. ..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUHQpbv3KjI the opening theme song, with the sounds of the copters still bring up goosebumps, the movie plus the TV Series, starring Alan Alda etc...

The Americans kept the war from escalating into South East Asia.....if not, many of us would not be here, the MIW's would not be boasting the brought this place from fishing villages to a metropolitan city...

How about Gomer Pyle? Not many Hollywood movies about the Korean War.
