Think you don't like R. Lee Ermey, self-styled marine caricature?

The idiotic intro to his idiotic website will make sure of it.

1. I love R. Lee

He's great. The greatest mistake Kubrick ever made was killing him off 30 minutes into Full Metal Jacket. That's not to say I'd want to go through boot camp with him, but he's all right.

It's called decaf, Mr. Ermey. You should try it.

Otherwise, I agree with everything he says, with the exception of "under God" being in the pledge.

I don't go for nationalism. And I don't love America to the exception of other countries. That's pseudo-fascist crapola.

He's been milking this gimmick for how long? He's been out of the marines since 1971...

He strikes me as phony, somehow. Who wants to bet he's a lifelong "bachelor"?

9. You're taking him seriously?

He's a caricature. Even he knows that. He's a prototype and a stereotype. Of course nationalism is horse hockey. Take him with a big grain of salt. God only knows if he means it or not.

3. i'm surprised that you didn't catch the dig

at the confederate flag. the part about how there is room for only one flag in america. i took that to be a subtle dig at the losers who insist on flying the flag of one of americas enemies.
