Memorial Day just came and went, and
usually I watch war movies to celebrate. But specifically war movies
that convey the idea that war is hell, even if it is sometimes
justified. In past years I've watched “Paths of Glory”, “A
Bridge Too Far”, and “Saving Private Ryan”, but this year I
thought I'd pop in a war movie that's constantly referenced and
considered a “classic” but that I hadn't seen yet, and that's
Full Metal Jacket.
