What is your major malfunction numbnuts?! Didn't mommy and daddy show you enough attention when you were a child?!! Now I want comments, damnit, and I want them now! Military movies! GO!
Fun true fact: my husband did 3 tours in Iraq. Been out for about 7 years. After a long long while, he cooked dinner last night. It was really flipping good. I complimented him today again. His reply? “You’re welcome for my service...”
R. Lee Ermey played a Drill Instructor so well because he actually was one. He served in India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego from 1965 to 1967. Having gone through Marine Corp boot camp this is by far the most accurate depiction of what boot camp and Drill Instructors are like.
He was also in, The Boys in Company C. Another good movie ruined by the M*A*S*H effect. The resolution of the movie is a sports competition, in this case a soccer game. WTF?
Yep, he was "The Hollywood Marine". No sand fleas for him. I did radio school at MCRD SD. We were across the parade ground from the quonset huts. We would find ways to torture the boots while they marched on the blacktop. If anyone went through boot in the summer of 66, I'm sorry!
A friend of mine went through basic and heard the same story about something in the food that kept your sex drive down. Rumours spread that it was in the potatoes. One night one of the guys in his group got hard and loudly exclaimed out of the washroom "Your damn potatoes can't keep me down!"
Nathan M there is semi truth to that. In my basic training I didn’t pop a single boner until around week 6. Woke up in the middle of the night full mast and took care of it in the far bathroom stall hahaha
There wasn't anything added to the food in Basic Training. When you are assigned to a barracks containing 50 other dudes. 8 weeks of Infantry school and not a single female in sight, there isn't anything to give you a boner.
Fun fact: it was mostly 82nd Airborne. Some Rangers, some Marines, some Delta, some Air Force. The result of an "off the shelf" plan to take back a different, nearby island, "just in case". Shit happened, plan was executed, problem solved. Subject matter expert, having been there. Marine involvement.
Hold on... i watched a documentary where it was the Navy SEALS that got ambushed... they had to fall back to the ocean and swim for a few days until a ship could pick them up... in fact one dude was shot once or twice and he still treaded water for 2 days.
I just started a "flamewar" on a sports forum! My answer "The 5th Panzer Division" is apparently NOT the "right answer" to the question "Who won the 1st Tour De France?"
John Wick, Bourne series, Dirty Dozen, The Punisher (Netflix series), American Sniper, Shooter (film and Tv series), Clear and Present Danger, Patriots Day, The Tom Clancy Jack Ryan series, Sicario I and II
@@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany there is a series called Shooter on Netflix that I watched the first season of. It was a pretty interesting take on snipers with some actual knowledge along the way. (US Marine here and definitely not a black belt in Karate, just a Green belt in MCMAP... OORAH!)
Yeah, for real. Interesting fact about producing this commercial -- they initially were going to get Tom Hanks to play the role of the lava monster, but Hanks' schedule didn't line up quite right. Through a couple strokes of luck they actually wound up finding a real lava monster named Gunnstein from eastern Norway to play the part.
@@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany 20 years Navy here. Way back when they filmed a Navy commercial on my ship of a helo landing in a storm. I was off camera holding a fire hose that was providing the "rain" as we sat pierside. Everyone on camera was an actor. Guess we weren't pretty enough. For Navy movies go back to "The Final Countdown" USS Nimitz goes back in time to Pearl Harbor Dec 1941. Or "Battleship" total BS movie but fun.
Fun fact: The guy that played Roy the bar owner in Heartbreak Ridge Bo Svenson emigrated to the US and when he was 17 enlisted in the Marines in 1958 and served for six years before he was honorably discharged.
Fun fact: My friend was an extra in the Heartbreak Ridge water-fight scene... He was an active Marine at Pendelton during those years. Damn he has some great stories.
@I Am The One Who Knocks I know full well what it stands for and my wife kept hearing him open his shows when I would watch them and liked the sound of it as a name. Had an uncle KIA in korea named arlie so that was the spelling. Dumbass, really?
My dad was a drill Sgt during Vietnam. He took two tours. I remember him watching full metal jacket, old John Wayne ones (Iwo Jima,etc) and he checked out Platoon when it came out. The only ones he would let me watch were the John Wayne ones. The other ones were too "adult" for my young brain. Best man I ever met, semper fi!
One thing that people don't realize, when 'The sands if Iwo Jime' came out, Congress was looking at absorbing the Marines back into the navy. That movie was a major factor in saving the Corps.
All these vets have great jobs and actual experience, meanwhile I served seven years in the Marine Corps and the only stories I have worth telling are the ones of drunken barracks parties.
I was Air Force Security Forces. We always had drunken TDY Marines and paratroopers stagger up to the gate on Saturday mornings. One of them puked at my gate. Great times.
Fun Fact most of the extras in We were Soldiers were actual National Guardsmen the French Lt. that got shot in the Grape was from the 1st Battalion, 184th Infantry Regiment he was chosen because he spoke fluent French.....I had my claim to fame for pissing on the Mortar Tubes Hey what's a Jarhead to do LOL !!!
We were soldier's left out the baddest MF'er of the whole battle...Rick Rescorla. He was the guy pictured on the cover of the book, so I don't know why they left him out of the movie.
I saw We Were Soldiers the night it came out. I thought it was a great movie (still do). As the credits rolled and lights came on, an elderly gentleman behind me stood up, looked at his wife and said "they finally got it right. that's how it was". And he was crying. It's been almost 20 years, but I'll never forget the look on that man's face.
The scene Full Metal Jacket with Pyle was just showing what really happened in the Vietnam war era draft ! They were taking low I.Q. draftees. That's a fact! Then it didn't matter, they just needed Bodies to send over Vietnam! They didn't care if you didn't have sense enough to get in out of the rain! They had plenty more where that one came from! Inner city kids , country boys,etc. There were "slow" guys in about every Platoon, and the other guys would try to take care of them and, get them through the "SHIT HOLE" they were in! FACTS! Talk to some REAL VIETNAM VETS! They will tell you the Truth! That's the point Kubrick was trying to make with Private Pyle. Mattew Modine's character "JOKER" stepped in to help him (PYLE) make it through! SAD but TRUE!! "Rah"!
Fun Fact: The reason gunny makes such a good drill sergeant is because he was one. In fact that is how he got the part in full metal jacket. He was on set as an adviser. And while demonstrating it for everyone (to show the actor that had the part how to do it) the director saw how he looked on camera (he had been watching him do it in person but after the third or fourth time had a look at it through the camera and was like "this is what I have been looking for") and gave him the part and thus his acting career was born.
Eastwood never served in the Corps. He was in the Army. Ermey, on the other hand, DID serve in the corps. In fact, The Drill Instructor Ermey played was almost exactly like my drill instructor in the Corps in 1981.
That whole thing about "putting stuff in the food" causing temporary impotence is definitely just a basic training urban legend (we had that same one in the Air Force, only we heard they put it in the Gatorade). It's really just the mental and emotional stress involved in adjusting to the whole experience that causes that.
"Stuff killing your sex drive" thing is an urban legend. The best explanation I heard in my life from an NCO: "I eat the same meal and bang my wife every evening". Also it is universal, I heard this while serving in the Turkish Army. The reality is, you are always so tired and overwhelmed in the bootcamp, your mind and body enters a survival mode and sex drive is gone because of that.
I spent 15 weeks in osut and only raised the flagpole once, even though we had access to nudie mags. They always said it was salt Peter in the food, but I'm pretty sure it was the lack of sleep and not a single woman in sight for 4 months.
Kubrick did 4 military themed films. 1957 - Paths of Glory, World War 1; 1964 - Dr. Strangelove, US Air Force; 1975 - Barry Lyndon, 18th Century British, and Full Metal Jacket.
Fun fact: I refer to that angry looking face as "Resting Murder Face." Also, those guys are so tired they must be retired. ...I will see myself to the door.
Safety brief: While dancing last night, a marine attempted the "robot" dance and accidentally cut a sailor with his knife hands. Since our knives are dull, we are allowing them to stay on board. Please maintain at least three feet of separation while on the disco dance floor.. I mean flight deck. 😂
One movie suggestion, Kelly's Heroes only because I wanna see these guys react to it.....especially Oddball....."the bridge is still there....no it ain't"
Didn't they literally just finish outfitting all of their infantry with brand new H&K rifles? Plus aren't they the sole user of the AH-1Z attack helicopters, and the CH-53 and CH-46 transport helos, as well as the sole American user of the F-35B? Plus, even their POGs get ACOGs. That "hand me down" claim is a myth, those fuckers are rolling in gucci gear.
@@TheRoadhammer379 dude i was using a mine detector from.vietnam in iraq to check for ieds... the only thing we ever got brand new was the M16A4. Hell even my flak jacket was defective and they didnt tell me about until after i came back from Afghanistan. Little did i know i wore that bastard for 9 months and it would have done me no good..
@@mulisha0351 I bet it was hot as shit in that thing as well wasn't it? Wouldn't have stopped a bit of gravel kicked up by a donkey, but you probably wore that thing like your life depended on it every day...... because it did! What assholes! Can you sue them for that shit? Or are you just glad to be alive?

@@mullittmustang256 thank you sir. I appreciate the time you took out of your day for me. People say I should not idolize veterans but some how I'm drawn to how they come out on the other side of adversity that most of us would break under. The sharpest steel is forged during the hottest fires of adversity
@@SuperDracula1992 That's the show with David Boreanaz yeah? The actor who also played one of the lead characters (Booth) from the crime procedural drama show "Bones" if I remember correctly. I have been meaning to watch it, though would be interesting seeing David go from playing a FBI Special Agent to a Navy SEAL.
ya know that actually hurt the first time i heard it because i was in high school when 9/11 happened i was hyped to join the airforce and serve as payback then a genetic disease fucked me so ive always felt guilty that i could not do my part but now i laugh my ass off at it every time.
"The Boys in Company C" is an excellent choice. "84 Charlie MoPic" is another - arguably the most realistic depiction of what the Vietnam War was like.
I was able to rub one out during Air Force BMT while on Dorm Guard and that was the only time. But we always joked that the last stall was where you went with a sock called a dreamcatcher.
You sound like my dorm guard partner. Dude would run off every night to rub one out. It was a little disturbing, but whatever ya gotta do to keep it together i guess. Me, i had no desire for anything til graduation and i saw my (at the time) fiancee for the first time in months... That was a little embarrassing... Full mast while my MTI was doing our pre-parade inspection... He admitted to me later that night back in the dorm that he almost, almost, made a scene about it.
@@OoogaBoog ...and the actor who _was_ originally cast to play Gunnery Sergeant Hartmann (before Ermey replaced him) was recast as the door gunner who's mowing down Vietnamese peasants during Joker's chopper ride. Stanley Kubrick did things like that.

the way I heard this was it was done in the 40's during WW2. dont know for sure but thats what I had heard.
I spent 15 weeks in osut and only raised the flagpole once, even though we had access to nudie mags. They always said it was salt Peter in the food, but I'm pretty sure it was the lack of sleep and not a single woman in sight for 4 months.
Produce a new movie about The Gunny and Mylie Cyrus... that would kill it or cure it.
Kubrick did 4 military themed films. 1957 - Paths of Glory, World War 1; 1964 - Dr. Strangelove, US Air Force; 1975 - Barry Lyndon, 18th Century British, and Full Metal Jacket.
FIFTY SHADES OF SEMPER-FI!!! Best line in this whole video.
I miss Gunny, he was one of the good ones.
One of the best.
He was awesome.
Yeah, at ease Gunny, Semper Fi!
Not once in three months, yea me either. It was a "fast" ten days at home!
"Fifty Shades of Semper Fi," Great, thanks for putting that in my head, guys! -_-
Mat, your face when they were debating the donut issue, it was priceless!
Just do a whole episode on Full Metal Jacket
Fun fact: I refer to that angry looking face as "Resting Murder Face."
Also, those guys are so tired they must be retired.
...I will see myself to the door.
The foot locker scene still gives me chills. Left my locker open once.....never again.
No one:
Matt: We had to serve our country and we are super tired.
Classic!
Matt best book was awsomen and I'm a Marine. I recommend it to everyone that served over seas
Why does the Navy allow Marines on their ships?
They needed somebody new to dance with!
Safety brief: While dancing last night, a marine attempted the "robot" dance and accidentally cut a sailor with his knife hands. Since our knives are dull, we are allowing them to stay on board. Please maintain at least three feet of separation while on the disco dance floor.. I mean flight deck. 😂
I alway hear it was because sheep were to obvious...
@Joshua Bressel yeah, I swa your post after I did it. I guess great minds think alike ....
That's why there dressed so nice
@@deathbyfitness3917 check your spelling
"Did your parents have any children, that lived?" Spit my beer all over. LMFAO a good laugh I needed. Cheers
One movie suggestion, Kelly's Heroes only because I wanna see these guys react to it.....especially Oddball....."the bridge is still there....no it ain't"
Roy Butler I love Big Joe as platoon sergeant
Have a little faith baby, have a little faith
Why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves!
The amount of effort that went into "Fifty Shades of Semper Fi." I love it!
I mean uh, yeah uh, cool.
LMFAO love the book signing in crayon! USMC 84-93 you guys are the best, no pun intended
Right on!! Thanks for putting in the time, friend
I too didn’t beat one down in boot camp. I’m shocked that some guys even could.
A guy I served with was suckered by the dragon...
Fun fact the Marine corps was created because some dude and his homies got drunk in a bar and wanted to create their own version of the Army
Did it have Black Jack and Hookers?
@@raymondhamill270 that's how I would imagine it
It was a gay bar.
Matthew Durden no that is how the Navy was created.
yeah full of army hooahs..so they started a real branch
You had me at “Crayon” lol, also could you react to tears of the sun, black hawk down, green zone, fury, The Pacific(any episode), or Hacksaw Ridge
Clint eastwood and R Lee Ermy are real life Vets.
When was Clint Eastwood in the military?
@@Dressyone223 drafted into the army in the 1950s, but never left the states
@@georgevillalobos8441 ok, thanks.
Eastwood was in the army and stayed in the US for all of his survice and Ermy was in the USMC if i remember correctly
Clint Eastwood was a lifeguard in the USArmy. Not sure off hand where he was posted but he was a trained life guard on base.
I’m with Logan, didn’t Jerk it once. Now in Kandahar, every chance I got
Marine corps gets hand me downs and still smashes everything in the ao.
Didn't they literally just finish outfitting all of their infantry with brand new H&K rifles? Plus aren't they the sole user of the AH-1Z attack helicopters, and the CH-53 and CH-46 transport helos, as well as the sole American user of the F-35B? Plus, even their POGs get ACOGs. That "hand me down" claim is a myth, those fuckers are rolling in gucci gear.
@@USN1985dos, YES on all the above. Someone is thinking of the NG units
Try being a british soldier or royal marine,we get fuck all
@@TheRoadhammer379 dude i was using a mine detector from.vietnam in iraq to check for ieds... the only thing we ever got brand new was the M16A4. Hell even my flak jacket was defective and they didnt tell me about until after i came back from Afghanistan. Little did i know i wore that bastard for 9 months and it would have done me no good..
@@mulisha0351 I bet it was hot as shit in that thing as well wasn't it?
Wouldn't have stopped a bit of gravel kicked up by a donkey, but you probably wore that thing like your life depended on it every day...... because it did!
What assholes! Can you sue them for that shit? Or are you just glad to be alive?
Stripes:
"I want some more Army training."
Lighten up Francis
Only one suggestion for review, 'Band of Brothers' 'Attack on Foy' scene.
Band of Brothers and the Pacific are some of my favorite military movies/series 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
These guys have great chemistry. I was always curious of the accuracy of heartbreak ridge. Thanks guys!!!
If you wanna see how much of a legend Logan Stark is look up “for the 25” that’s posted by him, absolute badasses to still look at life as positive as they still do
@@mullittmustang256 thank you sir. I appreciate the time you took out of your day for me. People say I should not idolize veterans but some how I'm drawn to how they come out on the other side of adversity that most of us would break under. The sharpest steel is forged during the hottest fires of adversity
You guys ROCK
2 years brcc membership.
Hell yeah!
The punisher,American Sniper, and Lone Survivor
you must react to generation kill
and maybe some other series like "six" or "seal team"
Totally agree on reacting to both Generation Kill and Six. I thoroughly enjoyed both series.
@@DeltaTenNZ check out "seal team" also, its pretty similar to "six", you wont regret this
@@SuperDracula1992 That's the show with David Boreanaz yeah? The actor who also played one of the lead characters (Booth) from the crime procedural drama show "Bones" if I remember correctly.
I have been meaning to watch it, though would be interesting seeing David go from playing a FBI Special Agent to a Navy SEAL.
@@DeltaTenNZ yep, thats it
Generation kill was pretty good
"We had to serve our country, we're tired." Casual civilian burn, lol
ya know that actually hurt the first time i heard it because i was in high school when 9/11 happened i was hyped to join the airforce and serve as payback then a genetic disease fucked me so ive always felt guilty that i could not do my part but now i laugh my ass off at it every time.
Make a reaction from cod modern warfare
Especially clean house & wolf's den
Ck out Dogs of War, a 1980's mercenary flick. One of my other old school favorites is Boys in Company C Thanks!
Rudy
Yeah good call! Dogs of war and the wild geese were great movies. Mad Mike Hoare interesting chap.
"The Boys in Company C" is an excellent choice. "84 Charlie MoPic" is another - arguably the most realistic depiction of what the Vietnam War was like.
You gentle men should react to American Sniper, Lone Survivor, 12 Strong and Black Hawk Down
Great selection!
I LOVE the escape goat shirt, I wore it to school and even the principle liked it
R Lee's best movie Siege on firebase gloria. You'll have trouble choosing clips.
Such a great movie!
"The Marine" was soooooo terrible.
Funniest part was that rock candy/Deliverance story the black guy told. I was laughing so hard at that scene.
As a marine movie, it was horrible. BUT, as just an action enjoy some kind of movie on a Saturday, it was entertaining.
@@dramprar the chick was hot as hell in that movie though.
Vetrans react to Range 15
Hahahahaha, are they supposed to act like some doppelgangers played them?
@@atlemacks "Who the hell is this guy?? Who taught him to act?!"
I'm sorry, I couldn't get through twenty minutes of Range 15. That shit was painful to watch.
4:44 my dad still has a scar from when he got an earring ripped out (mid 80s I think).
Here’s a long shot for you, great movie: 84 Charlie Mopic
We will take that under advisement
The gunny was an advisor on the film and just took over and kicked ass
Gunny: _(Takes over)_
Kubrick: Yes, just like that. Perfect! _(Throws script over shoulder.)_
And an actuall Nam vet!
RIP Gunnery Sgt. R. Lee. Earmy.
He was a Staff Sgt in the Marines, he was a Drill Instructor, that is how he got the part. Marines will always take of Marines.
Did you know that the guy he replaced is the 'Get Some' door gunner guy?
There was no way to do the knuckle shuffle during recruit training.
There was no doors on in the head, firewatch always walking around and in camp lejeune the drill instructors rack was almost right outside of the head
Major Payne what I grew up on and brought many memories thank you so much
id love to see some Black hawk down, end of watch or enemy at the gate.
Enemy at the Gates doesn't get nearly enough love in general
@@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany sounds like you know your mission.
@@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany Pls react to black hawk down with that Ranger fella
You should react to some of the older movies like dirty dozen or big red 1
Classic edition? Legit idea
Not a single jerk in 4 months for me Logan, thanks to MRP.
The real sacrifices are in the comments
dilligaf Do I look like I give a fuck? Kevin bloody Wilson!
That crayon part had me dyin. You could see his brain spinning on that one and it was such a good line.
I was able to rub one out during Air Force BMT while on Dorm Guard and that was the only time. But we always joked that the last stall was where you went with a sock called a dreamcatcher.
You sound like my dorm guard partner. Dude would run off every night to rub one out. It was a little disturbing, but whatever ya gotta do to keep it together i guess. Me, i had no desire for anything til graduation and i saw my (at the time) fiancee for the first time in months... That was a little embarrassing... Full mast while my MTI was doing our pre-parade inspection... He admitted to me later that night back in the dorm that he almost, almost, made a scene about it.
R.Lee Ermey was actually a Marine staff sergeant who retired in 1972.
This. He was brought on the crew to train the actor, and the director said nope....you're too damn good, you play your own role.
@@OoogaBoog ...and the actor who _was_ originally cast to play Gunnery Sergeant Hartmann (before Ermey replaced him) was recast as the door gunner who's mowing down Vietnamese peasants during Joker's chopper ride. Stanley Kubrick did things like that.
Fun Fact: R.Lee Erney was a GySgt. He was promoted after he got out. Only a handful of Marines have had that happen.
@@onealmr true that, the way he loved the corps and educated people all over about his beloved corps earned him that rank.
What about, "Siege of Firebase Gloria?"
My favorite!! Hands down!!
@@slayer6936 I really like your teasing each other, it looks like your having doing something you all love. Keep it up, you lift more than you know! JBrus
"Thank you for my service" great book. Got the audible version.
