Who was in the wrong here?
I'm not sure I've never seen this movie.
It's good
Us goverment
Karl Marx.
Wolfe for not exercising his authority and reeling these two retards in before their quarreling got someone (re. multiple people) killed
Elias
Donald Trump
Elias snitched. Otherwise I would side with him.
2nd lieutenant has less experience, it's human nature to defer to them.
/thread
You mean NCO's?
Watch it and take the barnespill
barnes was the man they needed to win the war but the war wasnt really worth fighting to begin with
TRVTH NVKE
btfos potheads in one scene
The company first sergeant should have pushed for Barnes to be promoted to SFC and had another NCO step up into a squad leader role alongside Elias. Having an E-5 undermining an E-6, and no true platoon daddy screams of failure from the company's head shed. Or if he really wanted the platoon to turn over a new leaf, moved both Barnes and Elias to separate platoons and backstopped the PSG position with an appropriate senior NCO from a stateside battalion/division to give the situation some outside perspective and foster the PL's development in a less retarded way.
deep
is there a more kino scene than the napalm in barnes' eyes
How many loser men actually participated in Nam? And by loser I mean men who really had nothing going for them before the war & were just smoking pot like Elias? That war seemed especially fucked because of how many dregs got drafted
100% Elias is in the wrong and Im not meming.
Barnes is the officer you send in to cause havok in hope to win. He will break rules but it is what is needed. Meanwhile Elias is pondering existence and showing empathy to the enemy. He is a soldier, an officer and should be leaving that shit out of his mind. Its like he is preparing for his career as a politicna. You see Barnes and you see someone who has been through it, knows the enemy and acts back. You cannot blame Barnes
Barnes was 100% right until he killed Elias that just made him a bitch.
Barnes was well aware of this.
His I am reality monologue scene has to be one of the most kino scenes in cinema history
Based
Cringe
Anyone got any platoon webms?
McNamara's morons. They lowered the standards for the draft and had full on retards and allegedly even openly homosexuals serve. Purely with the intention of thinning the herd. Allegedly Gomer Pyle in full metal jackets was a reference to this. People like that typically get caught before basic and if not washed out in basic. But then they made sure to treat them with kid gloves. Not much different than today with trannies and furry dogs as high ranking fucks.
if anyone is a bitch its Elias. the fucking STATE of dying like that. Also going to report Barnes for being naughty like a tattle tale. Which officer is more useful to the army and the mission? Barnes knew and made it right, it wasnt personal.
barnes didn’t kill elias
/thread
At absolutely minimum, Wolfe should have consulted Captain Harris as soon as he noticed Elias and Barnes' growing mutual hostility and not permitted either of them to be left unsupervised without at least an NCO of comparable rank present (it's really Barnes who needed supervision but I suppose you don't want to be appear to be playing favorites).
moved both Barnes and Elias to separate platoons
Preferably transferred them both to separate companies so they wouldn't interact at all.
backstopped the PSG position with an appropriate senior NCO from a stateside battalion/division
They wouldn't need to bring in someone from stateside, O'Neil could have filled the role on a temporary basis (he may have been a coward, but he had a the right temperate) until an NCO from another unit that was already in-country could be found to replace them.
Seriously not even the neets were spared. If a draft ever needed it means they'll be desperate and if they're desperate enough for a draft they'll be desperate enough to round up all the neets and self diagnosed reddit autism fags.
TPBP
neets
in 1960s america
being a glownigger during this time period would've been kino
vietnam was just such a stupid war
whats the point of a war if you're not allowed to actually do any of the things that were needed to win? either fight it don't, don't fight a war in such a half assed way
What do you think McNamara's morons were? The tards who stayed at home that you couldn't send to college or the army hoping a horse would kick their head in or they wander into traffic were plentiful.
You're not a serious person.
You're one of McNamara's morons. I pray I don't see you in some drone footage.
wtf is a mcnamara moron
its a surname. and dont call me a moron
Robert McNamara died in 2009.
Again, you're not a serious person.
kek
You platoon posters are alright.
is your name shirley mcnamara?
The reason I suggested moving them around within the company is that it could be done immediately without consulting the battalion sergeant major or another company's 1SG/CO.
And the reason I suggested a stateside NCO was to get a fresh set of eyes on the situation that weren't going to be preoccupied with thoughts about their departing unit's welfare, plus you could bait them in-country with the promise that they'll rotate out with the company in less than a year to increase the likelihood of getting a volunteer and not some company's problem NCO they're just trying to offload onto someone.

Fair enough, less paperwork. Although if you wanted to make sure that the rivalry ended permanently, separate companies is the only way of guaranteeing that.

That's true, but the problem would be that would require even more paperwork than transferring Barnes and Elias to separate companies. Finding a stateside volunteer would require getting in contact with them (in an age before the internet and cell phones) and then convincing them to accept transfer and deployment to a combat zone on short notice.
Anyone who doesn't simp for she! Get with the times gramps!
get the fuck out of here faggot
jews
even more paperwork
Good point. If the first sergeant's lucky enough to have an ops NCO, he could put him in the PSG role temporarily, or even until the end of rotation. I'm only hesitant about headhunting from other units in country because their rotation schedule likely doesn't line up with the company's, but finding a SNCO to fill in for an office role would be easier than finding someone willing to stick around in nam as a bushwhacker while the rest of their unit goes home.
This but unironically
barnes is unironically my favorite movie character of all time
Based and same.
Precicely how I meant it
what the fuck was his problem
Perhaps the solution would have been go head-hunting for a replacement NCO from a company that had more time left in its rotation, but not that much. Would be easier to find a volunteer if it meant shaving even a couple of weeks off their deployment.
He didn't get Viking Quest renewed and was pissed
he loved being in the nam cause he could just kill people with impunity
LETS DO THIS WHOLE FUCKIN BOARD MAN
i love platoon threads
Don’t we all
Same.
No Eliasfag or gooktroon has shown up to shit up the thread
This might be one of the best platoon threads so far
All of them
as always
Gooks are not people anon.
idk probably the guy who snitched on his fellow G.I's for some dumb zips who even the fucking field commander didn't give a fuck about
They’re the same person, each side of their personality portrayed and played by two different people

How many of (you) itt are regulars?

I prefer his spin-off sequel Betrayed (1988)
I AINT NEVER SEEN BANS LIKE THAT MAN
everyone just let it 404
and we didn't see a fucking thing
Unbelievably based. No one on this board ever talks about Betrayed or any other Berenger kino. Real fucking shame.
Oh and Garry Simmons did absolutely nothing wrong
A warrior is measured on his ability to hold his humanity in war.
Elias was a warrior, Barnes was a broken man.
you see da way da janny lahffs
you lost nigger get out of my thread

elias simp is a homosexual
nice try
sounds like we got ourselves a crusader
both but elias shouldn't have snitched. confront like a man
0/10 bait
He had to get it on.
We got a live one
Impossible for Barneyscucks to refute this
But he confronted. Right there and then when it happened
Stop samefagging you massive retard
make demand
can't back it up
yeh that's right bitch, you can't do shit. Dumbshit ape beating his chest while I laugh at your stupid ape behavior.
sounds like we got ourselves a crusader
No shit retard, war without crusade is just weak men behaving like animals.
I liked the scene where Frasier's dad hunted niggers with a MAC-10
I have to headcannon the ending because it's so bad though. I just imagine he did the assassination and successfully set up the lying FBI hole for the murder
cmon Niles, it's your kill!
elias cocksuckers are legit low iq
What now, bitch?
I wonder who the average black person would relate to.

I remember an anon back in the day came up with the perfect ending headcanon.

i don’t know what a “barnesfag” is, but apparently you do so you must be one, very nice of you to tell on yourself.

murder is a felony, retard.

Elias is a literal convict in the movie. Barnes never got charged for shit and was a normal citizen back home.

Former Military Judge here.
I’ve tried dozens of cases involving soldiers accused of war crimes, I have decades of experience presiding over courts martial and advising on military law.
Let me make something clear: Staff Sergeant Barnes is innocent in the eyes of the law. Barnes’s actions can all be justified, as the law acknowledges the chaos and uncertainty of war. Technically the prosecution can still accuse him of malicious intent, recklessness and disregard for human life, but proving guilt beyond reasonable doubt would be a tall order. Evidence obviously would show that Barnes’s actions are more of a result of circumstance than intent. War itself is a crime, Barnes like many others, is merely a victim. Sorry, but The Uniform Code Of Military Justice (UCMJ) is not designed to punish soldiers for split second decisions made in the hear of battle. All of Sergeant Barnes’s actions are justified under the doctrine of military necessity.
is that supposed to be an insult?

I see what the problem is, now. You’re a seething gook. Have your last (you) chang, your generational seething is not my problem.

The movie makes it very clear that elias was in the wrong.
