I showed that to the mail order bride.
She shoots a longbow.
She enjoyed the Hell out of it, so did I.

Interesting story about this guy that many of you will know.

Most pertinent was that he said the instructors in the marines would never physically abuse the cadets as was portrayed in the film.

I skimmed the wiki and saw nothing re the abuse thing you mentioned. From hundreds of comments I also skimmed, his portrayal was spot on accurate including the abuse.

Iconic scene.
I have a mate who still dresses like that to this day.

Yes, couldn’t find it myself when I looked for it. Sure I didn’t dream it!

I used to dress like that for a few years long before Arni, but a fair while after Marlon.

You didn't dream it.

"Regarding his character Gunny Hartman's brutal discipline of the recruits, R. Lee Ermey once said in an interview that a Marine drill instructor would never physically slap, choke or punch a recruit (at least not openly), even back in his day as a young Marine. Nevertheless, the gunnery sergeant in the book that the film was based on ("The Short Timers" by Gustav Hasford) often resorts to physical violence during the latter part of his drilling period, something that was significantly toned down in the movie."

As you would all know, climbing trees opens a whole new angle on watching birds and their ways, and where I live the Raven ranks right in at the top for their keen behavior and tricks. And taking second place is the Jay. Damn Corvidae anyway.

 

[Mick!]

Their problem solving is astonishing.

[Marc-Antoine]

That answers the question from some days ago about the animals thinking.

 

[gf beranek]
