Ah - you edited it and added extra bitsThe FMJ quote is:
"The thousand-yard stare. A Marine gets it after he's been in the shit for too long. It's like... It's like you're really seeing beyond. I got it. All field Marines got it. And you'll have it too."

Yeah, I felt like going on a bit of a tirade there. ^.^;;I really should hunt down the DVD; it's such a timeless film.

so many good quotes, and i love the whole futility and anti-climacticness of it.No herorics, no war-changing experiences, just shitty crapness and pointless deaths.

It's a brutally honest war film.There's no badassery, no one-man-armies storming Nazi bases without taking a single shot (usually (See 'Mad Jack Churchill)), and what Kubrick has done with FMJ should be put into practice more often, because it's what real war is like.
