Actual Anarchy Podcast

We are doing a Memorial Day themed episode with a review of Jarhead with Scott Spaulding, otherwise known as MDVet4 of the Why I Am Anti-War Podcast.In the late 1980s, Anthony Swofford (Jake Gyllenhaal) enlists as a Marine, training in boot camp under a sadistic drill instructor. Swofford undertakes a sniper course headed by Staff Sgt. Sykes (Jamie Foxx) during this time, which is shortly before the advent of the Gulf War. When the United States becomes involved, Swofford is shipped out, along with his spotter, Alan Troy (Peter Sarsgaard). Facing uncertainty each day -- about the war and home -- the soldiers try to maintain composure.Join us next week as we do a review of “Havana” starring Robert Redford that sadly we will not be able to do with our guest we had lined up as Robert Wenzel of Economic Policy Journal and Target Liberty passed away recently. This was his suggestion of a movie and so we are going to continue with it.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/236Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.com
