i haven not see this fine movie in 50 year but i be enter a comment on it anyway . while jack webbs movie be no doubt intend purely a an entertainment show marine basic training at parris island in realistic term a a tough character building exercise it be say the military be afraid the movie would discourage recruitment . it do not work out that way . the movie show that enter the marine be a great challenge than most young people ever realize and and ( guess what . ) be offer a king sized challenge be exactly what many guy want . i personally knew lot of guy that join the marine shortly after see the di . line at recruitment center be suddenly so long the marine have more recruit than they could handle . so it go . america will always have youth seek to make themselves into the best while the slacker and born loser limp along to nowhere . what we dont have in 2007 be any film that inspire patriotism and devotion to duty of any kind and positive value and et cetera . what we do have be film that inspire the airhead ed to be airhead and the beer drinker to guzzle beer and other negative value . exhibit # 1 be that the airhead teen travesty and beer guzzle epic superbad be now # 81 in the all time great film list . value . whatcha mean and value .
