True art. The last few bars of the helicopters strafing the coloratura

would do an even better job. Their range and phrasing are totally
remarkable.
You know, I've never seen the movie.

Or "Full Metal Jacket", "Platoon", "Deer Hunter" - any of them.

My philosophy is I lived through that crap - why would I want to watch
it? :)

"Platoon" was good and fairly realistic. The rest were crap.

First half of "Full Metal Jacket" was true to Parris Island vacations.
