		And Gustav Hasford's "The Short Timers" (the basis for Stanley Kubrick's movie "Full Metal Jacket") is much more than a deeply personal portrait a soldier's life in Vietnam: it's the successful effort to give us a prose adequate at describing the world of battle and fear - "like you've really seen beyond".
		Herr was (in Hasford words) a "perceptive tourist", and his book is a book for people that wants the thrill of the ride, but also wants to decide when and where to stop.
		Hasford was a vet, he was a Marine in the middle of it all, and his words drip with realism.

		Hasford was a combat correspondent who served with the First Marine Division in 1968, and Durden was a freelancer in 1966-67.
		Hasford's humor is perhaps even more macabre than Durden's, and it incorporates similar images, reveling in the the contradiction between the mass market culture of the U.S. and the reality of life during wartime.
		In Hasford's case this is, literally, Cowboy, whose need to adhere to the wartime "script" ("Marines never abandon their dead or wounded") is the cause of his death.

		FULL METAL JACKET, adapted from Gustav Hasford's novel THE SHORT TIMERS, is broken down into two very different parts.
		The first half of the film focuses on the training of a squad of Marine grunts on Parris Island, and more specifically on the troubled relationship between the brutal drill sergeant (a frightening Lee Ermey) and an oafish misfit (a brilliant Vincent D'Onofrio) who just happens to be a sharpshooter.

	"Is That You John Wayne? Is This Me?" - Problems of Identity in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket
		Fairly closely adapted from Gustav Hasford's 1979 novel The Short-Timers, Kubrick's film follows a young recruit dubbed Private Joker (played by Matthew Modine) – tellingly, we never learn his real name – as he moves from basic training on Parris Island to the hell of Vietnam.
		The screenplay was written by Kubrick in collaboration with Michael Herr, author of Dispatches (1), from which many details – including the key image of the words 'Born to Kill' "placed in all innocence next to the peace symbol" on Joker's helmet – were directly taken.
		You come to free the slaves or something?" Kubrick often structured his films as games of doubles and doubling, depicting the world as a dualistic place in which one can be John Wayne/Spartacus and something else entirely.

	For Fighting and for Fun: Kubrick's Complicitous Critique in Full Metal Jacket
		The feminine demands and deserves its own destruction: "The laughing sniper of the jungle is written out of the screenplay and replaced by the woman found in the broken mansions of Hue killed by Joker" (174).
		In regard to Kubrick's revisions of Hasford (even though he and Michael Herr co-wrote the screenplay with Kubrick), Jeffords concludes that changes, though seemingly minor, rewrite "the novel as a story of a gendered opposition between masculine and feminine, a battle that the masculine must win in order to survive the war" (1 74).
		Michael Herr's Dispatches, 1968), Ron Kovic's Born on the Fourth of July (19'61, and Gustav Hasford's Short-Timers (1979) acknowledge that the arbitrariness of binary gender oppositions are culturally and ideologically motivated; nevertheless, the fictions irrefutably promote real effects.
