I see that "Jarhead" is coming out on DVD next Tuesday March 7. Is it worth buying or should I just rent it?? One of the disadvantages of living where I do is the fact that it is at least half an hour to the closet movie theater so I haven't been to a movie since before I moved here almost 8 years ago. Thanks for your input. Rich

I would say do a search but you can't.

If you want to know what a lot of deployments are like, go ahead.
Be forewarned, its not what you think.

I thought it sucked-ass. The book, however, was a good read.

The book sickened me.

Now I'm intrigued...I saw the movie, but didn't read the book. Sickened as in bad book or content?
