I’m Not a Marine - I Just Played One in a Movie
Here’s just another in a long list of reasons why I hate Hollywood. According to Contact Music today, Jake “Bareback Mountain” Gyllenhall is giving his opinion on what our men did in the first Gulf War. And just where does he get his “expertise?” Why, he should know because he portrayed that generally-disliked asshole, Anthony Swofford, in “Jarhead.”
From the short, but desperate prose:
GYLLENHAAL OFFENDS GULF WAR VETERANS
Movie star JAKE GYLLENHAAL has shocked American Gulf War veterans by joking they did nothing but “masturbate” during their time in the desert in 1991. The cheeky 25-year-old stars in JARHEAD, a movie exposing the US soldiers’ lack of combat in the Middle Eastern conflict. He said, “The US soldiers were sent to the desert for 122 days and they sat in the same tent and did nothing, except a little too much masturbating.”
Oh, really Jake? Did you do a little special research on your own? Or was the research for “Brokeback?” Either way, you’re a loser who portrays a loser in both movies mentioned here!
Ask any Marine vet you know about Swofford - they will tell you why they didn’t see Jarhead either. And why he doesn’t have the honor a Marine usually does.
My take is Jake is feeling slighted because his movie about gay cowboys didn’t get much mainstream critical acclaim, although it was widely and loudly touted by all of his Hollyweird buddies and liberal politicians. Just like most other mainstream movies these days, it was a flop.
Oh, here’s a weird image from the main page for the movie, “Jarhead.” I have no clue what it’s about because I didn’t see the movie. Whatever the reasoning behind it, it still creeps me out yet doesn’t surprise me. (If I hadn’t seen it at the original “Jarhead” the movie website, I would have sworn it was from the cover of a cheap gay porno VHS tape.)
Jake, you’re not fit to lick a Marine’s boots after he’s stepped in dog shit. And as Laura Ingraham would say, “Shut Up and…” Well, just SHUT UP! Jarhead you say? I’d call you a D**KHEAD!
