It's not a Full Metal Jacket style movie, but the war in the Middle East isnt like Vietnam either. I thought it was a great look into what modern war is really like. Troops on the ground being replaced by air support. I thought the movie was worth more than the price of admission, and I didnt come away feeling like it was missing anything at all. I still put Full Metal Jacket at the top of my war movie list, but I thought Jarhead was great. (and last I knew, Drill Sergeants were the exemption to the rule about only calling Officers "SIR!!"
