That is R. Lee Ermey, he was a Marine Drill Instructor whos mission was to weed out all non-hackers.

He was also in Full Metal Jacket.

I think he is named after Gen. Robert E. Lee :)

I wonder if we are blood kin? :D

R. Lee Ermy was MGySgt Ermy, R.L., a drill instructor at San Diego MCRD until 1968, as well. Everything save the choking and the fate of Pvt Pyle was pretty accurate of Marine Basic Training during Viet Nam.

I'm pretty certain this guy was also in an older movie about Vietnam called "The Boys From Company C," which I think was made in the late 1970's, in which he also played the role of a Drill Sergeant.

You are correct Sir.

He was also The Mayor in Mississippi Burning, he was in Apocalypse Now, the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Purple Hearts, Willard :D, and the siege at Firebase Gloria to name a few.

... and who could forget, he was Brisco County Sr., with Bruce Campbell as Jr. :cool::D

"This is all ammunition - lookit how bewdyful it's set out here!"

Lol, Americans obsession with guns never cease to amaze me... still, would be fun to go there and try some shooting though :D

Lol, Europeans obsession with how people are different from them never cease to amaze me...

BTW: If you've never exercised the 2nd Amendment, you haven't lived!

Rather unnecessary nasty comeback there...

It wasn't anymore "nasty" than laughing about how some guy was admiring an ammo stockpile translated into "Americans obssessed with guns LOL".:p It's all lighthearted, don't make it into something it's not (to Jono).

On topic, I really should take a trip out there in April. Might be good use of some of my accrued vacation days. I really want to get my hands on an M2.
