An outstanding Marine who will be greatly missed.
Oddly enough I was only watching his epic Full Metal Jacket performance a couple of nights ago - a total counterpoint to the snowflakes of today.
RIP

Certainly frightened the life out of me when I watched him in the film.
He would have certainly sorted men from boys when drilling recruits in real life!

Really enjoyed R Lee in Mail Call (it was on the History Channel over here - back when the History Channel was mainly interested in history and not cheesy reality shows).
RIP Gunny, you earned it.
