I don't understand why his role in Full Metal Jacket was described as sadistic, I had 5 DI's training my platoon just like him, I thought his role was very authentic and normal.

we only had 3 DI's, but each and every one of them was just like "Gunny Hartman" in FMJ... R Lee wasn't "acting" in that film, he was simply being himself... GODSPEED, Gunny, Fair Winds and Following Seas, you WILL be missed.....
