Men n Women Showering Together? N they talk ard like nobody's biz? WTF?!


Ok, setting aside the absurdity of women training with men in the same infantry unit, now they had to take it even one step further of having the female recruits showering together with the guys !!

I remembered checking out my friends' expressions after that scene when I watched it at a friend's house. Everybody had their mouths agape and had absolute shock and disbelief written all over their faces. Man, that look was priceless.

This has got to be one of the most SICKENING, if not MOST IMPLAUSIBLE scenes in cinema history man.

You've got a platoon full of kids who are just fresh out of school; you can guess with raging hormones; who are discussing their aspirations and reasons for joining the infantry while being butt naked; and talking just like any other day, without a care in the world...

Are you fking kidding me ?! Man, is this show seriously treading on the thin line of being a porn movie or what?

How can any guy, in the right mind, be bathing around a bunch of nude chicks and not have ay 6 inch "physical reaction" to that ?! And still talking like nothing is going on at all ?

I was imagining a total different presentation given the same circumstances if you know what I mean..

How IMPLAUSIBLE & LUDRICROUS is this !!! Are those guys on hormonal suppressents or something ?!

Why didnt somebody say I joined the infantry just so I could see, touch and lick free t*tties?! I would have signed up if I knew the army division had such privileges !!

Yeah, why dont the TV ads in the show just use that as their slogan? "Service guarantees free T*Ts" !!! Lots of young fellas would literally throw themselves right in !!

Now you know why Rico was so determined and eager to join the infantry ... =D


And what sort of crazy infantry unit is this ?! To brazenly allow male and female recruits bathe together ?!

I am surprised they dont have to deal with issues like increased cases of rape and sexual harassment than getting trained to kill bugs !!


What the hell were the filmakers thinking when they shot this ?!


And why werent there a shower scene of Denise Richards ?! DAMN !!!


This is just one SICK, SICK movie that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

Maybe it's based on the fact that many hinter gatherers walk around naked amongst men and women with the same casualness as that bathroom scene. But I also find some issues with the scene. I find it hard to believe that there won't be any sexual activities in coed groups like this. I saw a special on women in the marines & apparently they're expected to be raped and take it without any complaints or recourse.

I think you miss the point of the film a bit. The movie carries a message and is actually quite sarcastic. It is not a movie based totally on reality. It's sarcasm in the shower scene is what it is. That is how you are supposed to look at that. If that scene had been in a high school rom com, I would understand your comment - but it is not a high school rom com.

Are you a rapist? Seriously, they're taking a shower not hosting an orgy. Normal people have can have self-control. And newsflash: anyone can fvck anyone! So if there's a shower of only women or men it still won't be as sexually pure as you want to think.

I suggest that you stick to watching "The 700 Club", or leave your blue-nosed, prudish morals at home.

Ok


Obvious moron is obvious. No, wait, that's not right.


No, nevermind. It is.

Obviously our OP has not read Armor by John Steakley or Forever War by Joe Haldeman, either.
