Ronald Lee Ermey was the perfect actor for the character. Not to forget he was a Viet Nam veteran who had loads of military experience too.
RIP The Gunny 😔🪖🇺🇸🫡

R. Lee Ermy did not want to even swear. That is something I have not learned about him.

but I guess you missed the part where they responded "you put it in!" You think this former marine drill instructor was scared of swearing? LOL. I think he was just realizing "wow there are a LOT of F bombs in this script."
