The Gunny pointing his finger in a recruit’s face while shouting profanity, hurling insults at the recruits’ manhood and mothers and posing questions and insinuations about their sexuality indoctrinated us with the idea that coded racism, physical abuse and psychological hazing went hand in hand with becoming a man. “Full Metal Jacket” wasn’t the only reason I joined the Marine Corps, but it was a major one.
Hartman had hooked us with the promise that he - this leather-faced, battle-hardened beast - could turn young, soft, irrelevant boys into the most lethal human killing machines in history.
