"... Stryker, though, is a far cry from the Marine madmen played by Robert Duvall in 1980's "The Great Santini," R. Lee Ermey in Stanley Kubrick's 1987 "Full Metal Jacket" or Jack Nicholson in 1992's "A Few Good Men."

Jewell cites "Great Santini," for which Duvall was Oscar-nominated as a martinet career soldier, as the turning point in Marine movies....."
