It's real

Sorry for your sanity :3

I dunno, his government tracks so far with what I remember of the film.

1. Feeling of Endless Hell
2. Waiting for it to be over
3. Everyone dying or in pain, in some cases at the hands of their own stupidity
4. Pretty much the only person who gets what they want is the one main character leading the thing
5. Swamp

To the world: someone please come liberate us from us.

sooooo this is a military threat against the local populace, right?

[arcanepotato@crazypeople.online]

I could believe it, but my pessimistic interpretation is that whoever made this meme has seen it and doesn't think Kilgore is a monster.

[denjin@feddit.uk]

Like pretty much every character in the film, the character Trump is cosplaying as has been driven insane by an insane war.

I understand you, and I feel the same. But let's be real. We both know it's true. It's outrageous, it's dumb, it's aggressive and hateful, that's exactly up his ally.

Captain bonespurs diaper would have to be changed if he tried to kneel down like that

Let's look at the positive side, in case of a trial they wouldn't have plausible deniability

He was killing all those filthy evil Communists. Only a tankie would suggest he wasn't an epic super dude.

One time there was a heat wave in my city, and I don't have air conditioning at home. The movie theater was playing apocalypse now, I think it was the directors cut. It was 3 hours long so I bought a ticket because I wanted 3 hours of air conditioning. I had no idea what a great movie I was stumbling into! It was about war and how horrific it is.

He tried to use Born in the USA as a campaign song. Media literacy isn’t MAGA’s strongest suit.

[rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works]

Probably thinks Lt Col Kilgore is the protagonist.

[rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works]

That's an interesting way to discover that film. You must have gone on one hell of a ride that afternoon.

Why Chicago? Not American but curious.

[astutemural@midwest.social]

I accidentally scheduled a vacation to Chicago during Mexican Independence Day, which apparently is a huge deal in Chicago. When I got there, the entire downtown area was completely shut down as Mexicans had been roaring up and down every street in trucks for the last two days. The Chicago PD had blockaded every exit off the highway within two miles of downtown to try and stop it. It didn't- it just limited them to doing it on the highway breakdown lanes and the actual fucking grass medians.

The moral of the story? If the above is what the Mexican population of Chicago does for fun, I'd dread to see what they do in the face of an actual threat.

Great War movie by the way. That guy is a surfer fanatic and basically requested a famous surfer to surf in a hot zone. Dude was crazy just waking on beach with bullets landing around him.
