Worst war movie of all time was probably "The Green Berets" with John Wayne in Vietnam. That movie was made during the Vietnam era and was god awful.
There was a story in the KC star today about the Gunny Sarge in Full Metal Jacket. His name is R Lee Ermey, and he's from down around Stanley, KS. He also stars in "Mail Call" on the History Channel. Check it out here YOU GRABASTIC MAGGOTS!!!
