Yeah, the whole movie, to me, was about how much it sucks being a marine, even when you don't have to fight. So its like, being a marine is either "shitty" or "fucking shitty".

Did anyone like this more than American Beauty? Personally, American Beauty is a movie I've seen probly at least 20 times. I don't think Jarhead will have that kind of staying power at all.

But then again I really hate war movies. The only reason I saw this one was because of the director.
