Trump plays epic Full Metal Jacket clips to contrast with ‘woke’ Dem military

Former President Donald J. Trump contrasted the “woke” joke that the military has become under the Biden-Harris regime using clips from the classic war film “Full Metal Jacket.”

In an epic video guaranteed to trigger leftists, Marine boot camp sequences featuring the late R. Lee Ermey, who was a real-life USMC drill instructor, are juxtaposed with top Biden health official Richard aka Rachel Levine’s “Happy Pride Month” salutation along with clips of drag queens, one of them from a US Navy recruitment campaign.

At a Wednesday rally on President Joe Biden’s home turf in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the GOP nominee introduced the two-minute video, a real crowd pleaser that’s gone viral on social media.

“I had this little clip and I thought you’d find it very interesting,” Trump said. “It’s the military of the past, let’s call it the Trump military, compared to the very woke military that we have now. I think you’ll get a kick out of it.”

The video was then shown on the big screen, drawing an enthusiastic reaction from the audience, and from X users too.

The 1987 film which was directed by the legendary Stanley Kubrick is widely recognized as one of the greatest war movies ever with its realistic portrayal of young Marines on their journey from boot camp to the carnage of the bloody Vietnam War in which over 58,000 Americans lost their lives.

“Full Metal Jacket. They took somebody from the military – top drill sergeant, right? Full Metal Jacket. He was supposed to get the Academy Award – he shouldn’t have gotten it,” Trump said at another speech in Wisconsin last week. “He was unbelievable in that movie.”

“How good was that movie, right? Doesn’t get too much better,” Trump added.

Also starring in “Full Metal Jacket” was Matthew Modine who played Private Joker. Vincent D’Onofrio as the ill-fated Private Gomer Pyle. Adam Baldwin played “Animal Mother” who has one of the film’s most iconic moments when he guns down women and children from a helicopter, and Arliss Howard as “Cowboy” who was one of Joker’s boot camp buddies who he later met in Vietnam for the movie’s climactic final battle.
