Storyline
A two-segment look at the effect of the military mindset and war itself on Vietnam era Marines.

The second half shows one of those recruits, Joker, covering the war as a correspondent for Stars and Stripes, focusing on the Tet offensive.

Short Review
Full Metal Jacket seems further proof that Kubrick is still trapped in self-pleasing cinematic exercise.
