So im watching Jarhead 2 in hopes its not like all other sequels to a great initial movie by ruining the first with a watered down version. but that's not the disturbing part...
the disturbing part is im only 5 minutes into the movie after the initial firefight and they are having a luau and yes as any other military movie you see all kinds of misplacement of patches and all kinds of nerve wrenching things....but at the luau they have Marines music blaring which isn't a problem and cheering which isn't a problem my issue came when I saw the men (a group of 4) dancing all provocatively on a female while she is sitting down this struck me as disturbing and I thought....maybe this is our issue movies that doesn't portray the actual military experience and we get pervs or individuals who partake in these types of things come in thinking this is what we do. when its not at all what is done and im sure that's in all branches across the board. I feel its telling these individuals we grind on our women who serve with us, or makes it ok to have SHARP incidents i don't know it just doesn't sit well with me. maybe its wrong timing or i have no clue. am i being too sensitive? did i look too in depth of it? or am i critiquing it too much?
thoughts please?.....

SSG (Join to see), you probably have a point. Those movies are not very accurate. And they may influence a small number of people who join up, but I don't think that's "the problem." I believe the problem is much deeper and widespread (society at large, with or without inaccurate movies).

True chief I'd agree with that. I don't know I liked the movie overall more than I thought I would but that part made me feel awkward.
