Watched the first half of "Full Metal Jacket" many times to get ready for Paris Island.

I caught what they called walking pneumonia when I was in the military.
I was 18. They kept me next to the ICU, they thought I was going to die.
I cannot see how an old man survives such an illness.
This man did not.

A sad day...he was a rare breed.

RIP Marine. Semper Fidelis
It's also a double standard and shame on Hollywood for what they did
Ermey also was one of the rare conservatives in more liberal Hollywood. In 2010, he did a commercial for Geico but later said he was fired from that gig after bashing then-President Barack Obama at a Toys 4 Tots benefit. At the time, he said that Obama's administration was "destroying the country" and "driving us into bankruptcy so that they can impose socialism on us." He apologized, but two years later, he told TMZ he was fired by Geico over those remarks: "If you're a conservative in this town, you better watch out."
Under that same standard there would be not much of Hollywood if they fired anyone who criticizes President Trump.

Hollywood is chock full of jack-wagons.

Lets celebrate the life of the great man instead of complaining about other things.

It’s rare for a man to be called an icon - Gunny did it twice over.

Rip Gunny. You’ll be missed. Till Valhalla !
