jack webb movie the d. i come about from the real life investigation into the death of several trainee in a swamp in paris isle in the 50 . a always and webb and be the patriot that he be and come to the defense much like all the rest of his show . i actually find this movie tame by 1957 standard . i serve in the army and can understand the intensity of the training at parris island ( camp death by some ) so this movie can never come close a do full metal jacket . i think this be a good movie which be more patriot than it be actual . but again and think of the time period it be make ( 1957 ) and what could be allow and say on film at that time . i have always find jack webb to be clean cut and very loyal . i know many have criticize the film a one side and government propaganda . if you feel this way and watch full metal jacket with r lee ermey . i be a webb fan and enjoy the movie for it merit and not accuracy . a i have say and webb believe in this country and hold institution to high moral standard ( lapd dragnet and adam 12 and emergency etc ) . just sit back and enjoy this one from a very strict moral time period in this country . don not be too judgemental of mr. webb . mark lockwood lubbock texas .
