Jarhead was an interesting film. It wasn't what I expected; it was much more serious. Although it was cheerful as well. It reminded me a lot of Full Metal Jacket. This wasn't a war film at all. It was a soldier film. It was amazing to see what the 1990 war was actually like. I didn't realise that had 575,000 troops in Iraq for that war. If they had that many for a war they decided not to bother with, why did they send 180,000 for a war they wanted to "win". It also hammers home why you never win wars like that. Machines destroy far more humanity than they eliminate aggression. And soldiers don't do much better. If I'd been an Iraqi in that first war, I'd be fighting against them now.
