i'm not a serviceman, but i found it ill that they would have a marine go so far as to beat up a geek at a high-school party. none of the respected military people i know would stoop so low. maybe i'm loooking too much into it, it is a dumb movie, but for them to have a MARINE act like that disdains in my opion the men and wome who serve.
shareI have to agree with the last post. There are always certain things that Hollywood will show on screen that has nothing to do with real life. One of those things is the negative view towards people in the service. They are always viewed as crazed people who love violence. Really sad.
shareI guess in the real world there is no need for MPs, no need for the uniform code of military justice, and no need for military prisons, as everyone who joins the military is an exemplary person and not a single one of them is off of their rocker or ever commits a crime. I'm really glad to know that is true.
shareok, so the thousands of military people in jail for violence aren't real? shakes head
shareThese were US Army Infantry Soldiers, who have seen combat clearly visible by their CIB (Combat Infantry Badge). I agree with you a little but then again in all branches of service including Marines and Army you have some dicks and second its a freaking movie.
share"second its a freaking movie."
Hey Captain Obvious sneaking one dumbass comment in under the moron radar! Good job idiot. The thread is about a film's negative unrealistic portrayal and you're contribution to the discussion is that it is, indeed, a film. Wow.
He was a douche, im sure he wasn't put in the movie to make every marine look like a douche too, its just one person and not to mention the fact he was on coke too which obviously made him psycho.
shareMarines are human just like everyone else. The vast majority of Marines and other servicemen are fine people, but there are a few jerks among them.

You obviously don't know any military people. Rape is a huge problem in the military and many thousands of military men have broken the law and gone to prison (hint-military people are just people-bad apples in every group)
shareIt's just a movie. It's not real
