Oh ignorant youth, the world is not a joyous place. The time has come for you to dispense with the frivolous pleasures of childhood and get down to honest toil until you are sixty-five. Then and only then can you relax and collect your social security and live happily until the time of your death!

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.

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.

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.

No one is coming, it’s up to us.

Legislation should never be about depriving law abiding citizens of something, but rather taking those things away from criminals.
