Gunnery Sgt. Hartman (R. Lee Ermey) Slams Mamby Pamby Obama During Roe Conn Toys for Tots Event: Semper Fi

One of my favorite movie halves is Full Metal Jacket. The basic training first half of the movie is such an intense look at basic training in the United States Marine Corp. Of course, making that part of the movie great was R. Lee Ermey known better at Gunnery Sgt. Hartman.

I have heard many interviews of Ermey on the Roe Conn and Garry Meier's WLS afternoon show, and there isn't an actor in Hollywood who loves his country more than Ermey. Of course, he was a US Marine before he became an actor and a Geico spokesman. Considering what he recently said about our mamby pamby of a president when asked to speak in front of a Marine Corps function for Toys for Tots along with Roe Conn from WLS, you have to wonder if the chain of command will come down on Ermey or be true to the Corps first and continue to celebrate Ermey has one of their own. Let's hope for the latter.

Ermey had some tough criticism for mamby pamby President Obama, including blaming him for leading this country into socialism.



Of course, it would surprise me if we don't see him on another Geico commercial. I have four words for Ermey.

OO Rah! Carry On!
