Iraq......Vietnam Bush.....Nixon
from the Full Metal Jacket script by Hasford, Herr & Kubrick:
high ranking military officer: "Marine! What is that on your body armour?"
Joker: "A peace button, Sir!"
high ranking military officer: "Is that supposed to be some kind of sick joke?"
Joker: "I think I was trying to suggest the duality of man, Sir."
high ranking military officer: "What?"
Joker: "The duality of man, sir- the Jungian thing, sir."
high ranking military officer: "Whose side are you on, son?"
Joker: "Our side, sir"
high ranking military officer: "Don't you love your country?"
Joker: "Yes sir".
high ranking military officer: "Well why don't you come on in for the big win? We are here in Vietnam to help the Vietnamese because inside every gook is an AMERICAN, trying to get out. We must keep our heads together until this peace shit blows over".
Joker: "Yes sir".
