The Generals I understand, they have to play the PR game - but you? I'd expect you to know better.ĭo you really think these Generals would have heaped all this honorary crap on him if he weren't an ACTOR? Hell no! I don't see you hyping all the other medically retired Marine SSGTs of his era as Gunnys (many of whom are certainly just as much if not more deserving), so you must be taken in by the Hollywood hype.

Where's the middle finger emoticon when you need it (stored away in my "Do Not Use While on Mod Status" file).Īctually the thing about R Lee Ermey is that he was originally was just a script consultant for FMJ, but they decided that he should play the DI too.Īnd why not? Perfect fit. He IS effective, his DI persona DOES work.

It almost feels like the producers and directors are making a mockery of him for his movie role.Īctually, they are capitalizing on his role as the Gunny/Drill in Full Metal Jacket - where he made his mark IMO - and it works.
