Line 26:
** Case in point: there are tales of Marines cheering the "soldier mutilates an Iraqi corpse" scene in ''Jarhead.''
** If it makes you feel better, a lot of Marines don't particularly like war movies. Or, rather, they don't care for them any more than an average young adult male would.
** Also, most of the Marines are cheering for those movies because they think they're ''funny'', not because they feel inspired by. War movies, especially the specific ones named here, largely come across to real servicemembers as parodies.
* Similarly, many current or former military (or people who are staunch military supporters) are also fans of ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]''.
** This is likely due to the fact it was very close, just a touch over-the-top, of 'nam era training, just ask most any vet from around that time. Plus if you ever watched Mail Call, [[R. Lee Ermey]] is that way IN REAL LIFE, so [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]] himself is a case of [[Misaimed Fandom]] as well. (I believe it was either in the commentary or making of that he was specifically brought in just because of his prior military experience and how he acted.)
