RM, I would bet good money that they would not be allowed to make that movie now. I was down at the island in 1958 just a couple of years after that platoon had been marched thru the swamp and a few of em got drowned, Our toughest obsticle course was crawling thru a barbe wire cource that was probably 30 yards long wid live bullets being fired into a dirt bank just above our heads. I bet that ain't allowed no more either. I've watched FULL METAL JACKET several times myself and it bringh back a lot of memories.
