Re: Full Metal Jacket: The Next Generation (Jarhead)

Thanks for the review. Originally I was looking forward to this film but then the lukewarm reviews on Rottentomatoes.com convinced me that this is a "wait till it comes out on DVD" but your post has me rethinking that premise in that I may see it in the theater in the next couple weeks.

Not to spoil it for anyone, but from reading the reviews and discussions on this film one can say that while this is a war film it is not a combat film. The film is suppose to be about a group of marines who are sent over to the Gulf in the first Gulf war but do not get to see any combat.
This is realistic since as you said that war only lasted 100 hours and most soldiers probably didn't see actual combat.
