At the bottom of the linked article is a 45 minute video about the Barrett company. At 9:26 begins the segment about the "help desk" call.

I thought that movie was ridiculous. Just in that short clip you posted, it was full of B.S. That part where the Recon Marine says "who invited you"? That would never happen. I don't care how undisciplined that platoon was, when a new Gunny shows up, they are not going to act like that.

It was a good performance by Clint (does he ever have a bad performance?), but it couldn't save that trash movie.

I guess I say "great" because of Clint - obviously a bunch of B/S with the characters, but Gunny Highway carried the effort. Not realistic but humorously entertaining.
