Watch Jarhead
(2005)Anthony "Swoff" Swofford, a young man from Sacramento who enjoys reading Camus, enlists in the Marines during the late 1980s. He initially feigns illness at boot camp but eventually becomes a sniper, working alongside his typically dependable partner Troy. When the Gulf War erupts, their unit is dispatched to Saudi Arabia for Desert Shield. For 175 days, they endure a monotonous existence filled with adrenaline rushes, sweltering heat, anxiety over Swoff's girlfriend's infidelity, a close call with killing a comrade, demotion, cleaning latrines, flawed gas masks, and desert football. Eventually, Desert Storm commences, and in under five days, it concludes, although not before Swoff witnesses horrific scenes of burnt bodies, blazing oil rigs, an oil-soaked horse, and possibly even an opportunity to kill. What happens to all the testosterone after the war ends?
