I was watching Full metal jacket the other day and it dawned on me that Private Pyle became Animal Mother.

He was indeed Born Again Hard.

No.  He became a modern art masterpiece.

Wat? Animal Mother = Adam Baldwin

Pvt Pyle = Vincent D'Onofrio

No but I think Pvt. Will Stockdale became Pvt. Pyle

Different guy Vincent Dinoffrio (spelling) was Lawerence ( fat body pyle) Animal mother was different actor AFNMFH. Don't get between a dog and his bone
Great movie, I have a friend who was in the Marines at that time, he says the boot camp scenes are like a flashback.

Huh. I never thought of it that way before, but it sort of makes sense if you ignore the timeline and suspend disbelief. Dave was reborn into the Starchild in 2001: A Space Odyssey, so it's not a foreign concept for Kubrick.

Think about the conversation between Joker and Animal Mother
when they meet in Vietnam; hints are in that conversation.
Animal mother saying to joker "You're a real comedian" etc.

Rafterman is call New Guy, as he is new to the group.

Pyle is Dead, but Reborn as Animal Mother.

I don't see it. Mostly because other than Pyle's very last moments, him and A.M. are complete polar opposites of each other. I guess you're making the comparison that Pyle hardened the fuck up......but Pyle splattered his brains all over the place. So I don't see it

WTF

If Pyle was reborn as Animal Mother, the war scenes would have to be at least 18 years later. Otherwise Animal Mother, being Pyle reincarnated, would be like 8 months old in all those scenes.

Which would be pretty fucking cool in its own right.

Animal mother left the Marines, joined the Air force, and made Major while working at Area 51.

Later on, he was credited with killing a alien xenomorph, and was part of the team that helped save planet earth.

Not everyone in the movie is reborn, but if you want to assign symbolism to Hartman's death I think Pyle's Oedipal murder of his "father figure" might work. Considering that the very next scene centers around a Vietnamese prostitute, and that later in the movie it's implied that Animal Mother has sex with a Vietnamese prostitute, one could draw the conclusion that Vietnam is the "mother" from which Pyle was "born again hard" and with which he fulfills his Oedipus complex.

I'd be genuinely interested to hear how you chose those characters to pair together.

About time something non fictitious came out of this thread. Animal Mother became Maj Xenomorph Slayer. I can get behind that.
