Have not seen it, but I read the book on a plane from California to Kuwait. Good book.

I've seen a couple clips of this on the internetz, I really want to see the rest of it. I guess it comes out on DVD on the 16th, so I'll check it out then.

I've had more than a handful of people I was in the USMC with tell me after reading the book or seeing the show that Cpl. Person reminded them of me. I have to see this for myself.

"hey, reporter.... if you lay with your cock against the ground when the tank rolls by it feels great."

i dont imagine you saying anything like that ryan, but if you did it'd be fucking funny.
