i was about to say the same thing its crazy cuz these are real actors and they are acting great in this interview they really made it look real actors looking like they arent acting idk how to explain it but i know what you are talking about
Context about Swofford’s interview: he knows by this point his deployment was a waste of time, he’s traumatized by what he saw in the highway of death and most importantly he knows by now his gf is cheating on him. The whole interview is a commentary about how this “interviews” aren’t done for journalism but for propaganda so as such he knows he will get cut out of the media if he says the most deranged things he can think off. In a way he’s using this interview to vent off about his crappy situation
Per definition they’re soldiers. People use the word soldier to refer to someone in the military. Not everyone gives a fuck about your shitty title referrals
This scene is so real and accurate and exactly how it would go down if Marines on the verge of combat would carefully respond to a reporter…. Except for Swafford who was like FTS !!! 😂😂😂
4:42 Interviewer: "So you're an American Soldier here in Iraq," Fowler: "Marine*" Interviewer: "Uh, yeah excuse me, So you're a Marine here in Iraq, here to liberate Kuwait" I like how Fowler corrects the interviewer after she said "soldier" lmao 😂😂
Too bad he didn't correct the fact that she said he's in Iraq... Neither the interviewer, you, nor that poor dumb bastard know what country they are in
Jakes answer was probably the most accurate based on the film I don’t know if this is how it actually is but the way the film portrays a military deployment it pretty much is the truth
Can you upload the scene where the interviewer asks if swafford is scared of the war and he says he is? I always look to see if anyone has uploaded it every few months but never find it. One of my favorite parts of the movie.
the part where he says "i can hear their bombs going off" ? i can try to this weekend but youtube might flag it. i'll leave another reply here with the link when i clip it and upload it.
I liked hearing the Cuban American Marine's perspective. Because he fled a vicious tyranny, he understands that the Iraqi soldiers are forced to fight for a tyrant. BUT.. he values and cherishes the freedom.
Same with the Hungarian American. Both marines experienced tyranny in their home countries and probably gave the most realistic approach to how they felt about “liberating the Kuwaitis”
I can see why they had to re-shoot swofford's interview, shit was totally unhinged. If this cut had made the film, would've made him look like a complete psycho
I really wished that they would've interviewed SSGT. Sykes! He's pretty much the only character that I can relate to in this whole movie! He makes me feel that way when he says to Jake Gyllenhaal: "I love this job! I thank God for every Fucking day that he gives me in the Corps! OOORRAH!!!" And that's what I do, I thank God for every Fucking day! FYI Folks... Serving in the Marine Corps was my dream job! And it's what I have chosen for my career! -Semper Fi!
hahahah if you listen closely there is a scene when he gets the letter from her and he snatches it from chedder bob and quietly in the background he says something like "go jerk off alone outside" as he walks away with the letter lmao
When I was a little kid in the 50's I always wanted to be a Marine. In the 60's a kid friend of mine said his family had some slides of Marine Land. So I badger the mom until she shows me the slides of Marine Land. Not what I thought at all. A bunch of fish? Where are the Marines!? Such a disappointment for my childhood. Then Vietnam happened. People were spitting on them and calling them baby killers. I didn't think they deserved that. I still think Marines are awesome.
I was about 10 years old when the gulf war broke out, and i remember watching interviews exactly like this of young marines that were about to go into combat... when i watched jarhead and the interview scenes came up, it gave me flashbacks to being a kid watching it on tv.....
i think he may have been in the background of a few scenes real quick, unless im mistaking him for a different guy. there is one guy similar to him that has like one sentence and a few background quick scenes. i'll have to look closer next time i watch it again. good observation on that one
Idk his name, but I saw him in several other scenes. Apparently he immigrated from Hungary and was thankful for the better life America offered him that he wanted to serve in the military
He’s the guy who congratulates the mexican member on the birth of his son. He’s a background character and pretty much everyone else has more lines and scenes than him.
No. If you read his book, you get a better sense of who he was. The book is very anti-Marine Corps. He hated his time, he complains and whines. He didn't have the mentality required to serve in any branch - read the book and you'll understand
@@jimreily7538 why did he join? Because his father was in the marines? So the movie version of him is different from his real life version? The opposite of what he was like in real life?
@@robertisham5279 It's not the opposite but it's very different. Check the book out if you can find it. Or if you Google Nate Fick's review of Jarhead, you'll find a good insight. Marine Corps Captain Nate Fick, who is portrayed in the book Generation Kill and the TV series based on the book, wrote a review of Swafford's book and that review was pretty accurate. Fick explains why Swafford wasn't Marine Corps material to begin with, and basically tears him up for blaming the Corps for his problems rather than himself. A much better book about the USMC is Nate Fick's own. It's called One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer. It was literally required reading for Marine Corps officers for a time, it might still be today, and it's on various of the military branches' reading lists. Because it's an excellent and insightful look at the Marine Corps. Fick doesn't hesitate to criticise officers and command, or stupid or unnecessary decisions, but, he doesn't smear or attack the Corps. On the contrary, unlike Swafford, Nate Fick believes the Marine Corps is one of the greatest and most important institutions in America.
@@robertisham5279 But yeah the movie, which is a pretty well made movie, great directing, entertaining etc, isn't like the book at all. Swafford says he joined the Marines because his father did, but also because he wanted to be seen as a tough guy. He spends pages and pages attacking the Marine Corps, attacking individual Marines, and basically, the whole book is just one big whine. It's all "me me me" type stuff. He couldn't handle it. If he'd just said "I couldn't handle it, it was too tough for me, I served in a war I disagreed with", it would not be so annoying. But instead, he blames the Marines themselves for being too aggressive, calls them warmongers, says that they're murderers, all types of slander. If Jane Fonda wrote it, it would still be a better book. That's how bad it is.
I think the reason why these were deleted because the reporter got mixed up with the Kuwaitis and Iraqis. She said “What do you think about the Iraqis?” She was meant to say Kuwaitis vice versa.
thats a good notice, i never realized that. i have the commentary of why each scene was deleted i ripped it from the dvd, but then that laptop crashed and my new laptop dont have a dvd drive, and my other computer the monitor just went out lol. one day ill upload all the commentary. till then i forgot the official reason. i think it was just to long and they winged it a bit and took the best parts
The movie was pretty good, but the book is pretty bad. It's very anti-USMC. Swafford is very different in the book than he is shown in the movie. He tells the story from a first person perspective and he complains, but not just complains, he derides the Marines as an entity. He sounds like one of those hardcore anti military people in the book.

This really shows the acting ability of the people involved it really makes you believe its actual interviews of soldiers in Iraq

I love when cheddar bob corrected her and was like, “marine”. When she called him a solider. Marine is a title, they’re not soldiers.
He’s a good actor

Wasn't that Fowler?
Troy killed his interview way too realistic
I love how Swofford gets the Kuwaities and Iraqis changed up.
"courteous for letting us stay in their desert"
"Wait there's more of them?"
A third irony is that during the first iraq war the us troops were actually in saudi arabia.
@@mikeflan4288 first Iraq war is Iran Iraq war
Second (Persian gulf war)
And THE Iraq war (last war)
@@freshfrozen3035I love how your view of history is limited to the last century.
Swafford a straight up savage
I never seen a movie that pays respect to the foreigners that serve in our Military, no longer
Because it’s not representative of the overwhelming majority of service members.
fucıng merryywheder and don percıval :)
@@bartonarchuleta204 Yeah but no matter the minority they should all be thanked for serving.
@@theexcuter8140 trust me as somebody who has served nothing we have done has helped our people
@@bartonarchuleta204 Like American people or the majority of the military?
Imagine the look on the reporters face when Swafford gave his message to his unfaithful GF
4:42 Interviewer: "So you're an American Soldier here in Iraq,"

Yeah bro we all watched the video
fowler's interview was gold, glad you uploaded this
I like how Swoffard wasn't having it. The truth needed to be said.
Jakes answer was probably the most accurate based on the film I don’t know if this is how it actually is but the way the film portrays a military deployment it pretty much is the truth
Hey brother
Swoffords interview was pure gold.
Squishy face guy cracked me up lol
“Don’t you ever call me a squishy faced retard!”
man, idk why they cut out these scenes, theyre great and just add more depth to the characters and the movie
Swafford was off the wall! 🤣😂 He must have wanted to have his interview cut. 😏
Swoffard tells it how it really is...
Making the interviews really awkward lol 😂
They didnt prep some of these questions to get these types of answers.
Can you upload the scene where the interviewer asks if swafford is scared of the war and he says he is? I always look to see if anyone has uploaded it every few months but never find it. One of my favorite parts of the movie.

Troy is the most collected individual in the squad
He'd have made a good squad leader or junior officer. I can't remember this movie too well, I don't recall his rank.

@@grunt117 But we really weren't liberating the Kuwaits.
We were there to fill the pockets of billionaires and to help empower central banking
Not really but can't expect more from the Western culture stuck in a tunnelvision.
@@robertisham5279 yes we were
At this point Swafford was like “Ahh fuck it” and hoped his NCO wouldn’t find out what he pulled talking with the reporter 🤣🤣🤣
Meals rejected by Ethiopians 🤣
Holy shit jake

It's a huge shame these cuts weren't in the final movie. The full Troy interview completely recontextualized his character for me.
Interview lady: akward
"So your a US soldier....
uuhh Marine"
This Swoff was way better. Just savage honesty
I fucking love this movie
Damn... Jake down baad
7:25 is the most serious interview and most earnest haha european difference and american ahahaha Americans are like that too!
“A little grab-ass here and there ya know” lol
Troy is the coolest cause despite it all, he's the coolest minded dude there. Even under the BS can still play PR.
Thank you for your service cheddar Bob
Watching these deleted scenes and I have finally decided to buy the actual book .
15:55 Lmao
@Michael Cueva eeeeeeeeewwwww
He’s trolling her so hard 😅 lmfao
he's right about hungary, a guy told me the people there look like they are about to cry and always complain alot
we cried so much as kids, we have no tears left anymore
Well before 1989, they were like 40 years under the Iron Curtain so I bet I'd be like that too.
fuck i died laughing when the hungarian guy did the walking down the street bit
Fowler’s interview was definitely a different side to him which would’ve been nice to see in the movie
That profile picture gives you auto immune deficiency syndrome.
Swaford reminds me of nick Diaz in that interview 😂
I wonder if christine saw his message
hahahah if you listen closely there is a scene when he gets the letter from her and he snatches it from chedder bob and quietly in the background he says something like "go jerk off alone outside" as he walks away with the letter lmao
@@MelodicsRareMusicVid But isn't that prior to the interviews?
@@gonzalovazquezavila535 i dont remember
The voice of the interviewer though...
She sounds like she's down to fuck.
omg i love that you could almost mistake this for real interview ! ;
"Yeah i was a battlebit."
13:10 is me everytime i think of the Princess of Santa Barbara! 🥲
I know what Swafford is thinking. He's thinking "This sucks, fuck it"
Swoff dude 💀 he’s just saying it how it is man
3:27 jocko on dmt binge
Gonna marry that reporter, whoever she is
She's part of a satanic cult
She's got a great voice but the voice actress? She's the Legend of the Dog Faced Woman
