adulthood is realising he was right
>We follow protocol but I had to break some rules in order to teach some guy a lesson who I ended up killing the process
>>220010561He was teaching the lesson to everyone else though. Not just the dead guy
>>220010575Than why not just transfer him like they recommended? What the fuck was the purpose of gagging him in the middle of night? That wasn't gonna make him a better marine
>>220010625There is punishment for being a weak pussy. It's not a daycare
>>220010561Santiago was a sub-standard marine.
You know, this scene is usually given as an example of amazing moviemaking, but having re-watched it recently, it feels amateurish. Cruise is overacting, screaming and gesturing too much. Nicholson delivers his monologue like he had memorized it the previous day, not like he actually meant it.
>>220010509>I did what I had to do to defend America >no war going on just a penal basekind of takes the milk out of his corn flakes baka
>>220010509Bro, he was stationed in fucking Cuba.
>>220010711He literally stuck around and delivered his line perfectly for every take, even when it was just for close up reactions for the other actors, something he didn’t have to do
>>220010509Nah. There was no helping Santiago, who never should have made it past bootcamp. 20 code reds wouldn't have shaped him up. A competent military officer can see the difference between someone who needs a kick in the ass and someone who is irredeemable.
>>220011092Fat-fuck anons don’t get it; they all despise military service
>>220010509>adulthood is realizing I'm a piece of garbage who drinks the Atheist liquid (alcohol) and smokes the atheist stick (cigarettes)
>>220010509Adulthood is realizing that in some situations everyone involved is right but one of them still has to lose.
>>220010509A Jessup type that thinks being a hardass is the end-all-be-all of an effectively military is actually in charge of one now and it's a complete clown fiesta
Adulthood is realizing that only the dullest of goycattle signs up to kill and die for the elites.Like these fine examples of subhumans >>220011391>>220011092
>>220010509>killing an American soldier was necessary because....?
>>220011888most who enter the military are facing homelessness
>>220011911Hollywood back then gave much importance to "American lives". I remember this term a lot in movies, "American lives". Now it is forgotten.
>>220011979American lives are worth less than nothing mutt.
>>220011911Similar reason Russian think rape and sodomy constitute discipline. They don't, they are just vicious evil retards.
Okay, I'm engaging with this as if it's not bait.Soldiers are expected to give their lives when it comes to shove. If a group of soldiers are in enemy territory, and they're all wearing masks because they think the room might have toxic gas, the commanding officer may order one soldier to remove the mask and possibly die to confirm or disprove the fact that the air is toxic. That soldier can be legally commanded to die in order for the officer to gain information. So in that regard, Jack Nicholson's character is justified in using a soldier's life for the greater good.
>>220011919no they’re not… recruiters specifically don’t want people who have nowhere else to go because they drop out during training or early in their service term and cost the gov money. Their ideal candidate is someone who has a home but is poor and wants to buy a Dodge Charger and get pussy lol
>>220011919Well once they are discharged they will be able to face homelessness AND inevitable suicide.
>>220012008I'm not American, and you are wrong. American lives worth as much as yours. The problem with Hollywood back in the days is that they were implying that American lives worth more than other lives, and now you're doing the same, thinking your life worth more, but you're obviously mistaken because God is not partial.
>>220012054Using the "sniff test" to compare it to the movie situation is disingenuous as fuck
>>220012250screenshotting your own post is very cringe my dude
>>220012339>oh, le screenshotVery convenient for you, who lacks argument, to ignore what was said in the post. Low IQ shit.
>>220011858WE ARE BEING WARRIORS, PISSANT
>>220012054He got someone killed and then tried to cover it up and let other people go to military prison for it
Jack Nicholson was acting like he was posted in Stalingrad or something. Sorry but the mighty Cuban army isn't going to storm Gitmo any day.
>>220010509he wasn't. there is such a thing called the chain of command and if the official policy of the united states military is that code reds are off the table then you stop doing it. jessep was a faggot.
>>220012250american lives should be worth more to americans though, plus you're watching an american movie.
>I'm a shabbos golem! You can't even fathom what it is like to fight and die for Israel! I'd kill 10,000 American soldiers for a drop of oil!Great writing
>>220013509>he thinks anyone ever cared about oil
>>220011919That’s only for people that get kicked outAn honorable discharge gets you plenty of benefits If you’re homeless after you get out, it’s your own fault
>>220010509both of them are right... thats adulthood
>>220014392>adulthood is being a worthless fencesitter with no mind of his own
>>220013509>DID YOU ORDER THE CODE RED?
>>220014536
>>220014715>SOFT DRINKS ARE FOR FAGGOTS.
>>220010561Listen, the whole thing was the pathologists fault. Santiago shouldn't have been a marine and it's his fault he became one. He died because of that man, not Col, Gessup.
>>220010509boomers are evil
>>220010509a full bird should not be ordering junior enlisted to physically assault their peers, just give group punishment and let them come to that decision naturally.
>>220011589thats the kike lords blood youre taking about, show some respect
>>220014888I learned recently that he was played by Christopher Guest.
>>220011589>jesus turned water into mountain dew
>>220012054that woulent be a legal order unless it was mission critical information and there was no alternative and they would all die anyway or something, even then no one would do it and theyd probably draw straws
>>220011888Free college+preferred placement for giving trailer trash kids and spics injections and compresses isn't a bad deal anon.
>>220014536>>220014760DID YOU ORDER THE CODE REDYOUR GOD DAMNED RIGHT I DIDher you go sir, your code red. thank you for eating at our establishment.
>>220014715>NO SIR! I DONT DO THE DEW
>>220015117you are directly enforcing the will of pedophiles and Israel you worthless subhuman piece of shit
>>220015189>not even baja blast?...
>>220010685He didn't deserve death.Also Cuba is not a real threat, it's a fucking joke.
>>220015202>Are we clear?>yes sir>ARE WE CLEAR?>Pepsi Crystal™ clear sir
>>220015202>The only bajas blasting me are the ladyboys i see on leave, sir
>>220010956>Bro, he was stationed in fucking Cuba.I always kind of laugh at how tough Jessup acts when he says every Cuban wants to kill him or acts like he's protecting mainland America. This movie would have to have taken place in the 1960s to take him seriously. Dude, get over yourself lol.
>>220015190How do you people even leave the house?
>>220015455>oh well then, you are free to go. Sorry for the inconvenience colonel.
