This is my rifle. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.


Last night I watched Stanley Kubrick's War classic Full Metal Jacket as part of Vietnam week. Seeing this movie for the first time. I liked this film because it shows you what life is like in the training camps. It was also a good anti war movie I liked when they sang the Micky Mouse theme. The music was also really good. Born on the forth of July is next.
