Harri16 0 Posted March 18, 2002 Well I was just watchin' a 'nam movie the other evening and a soldier on said Semper Fi. And that got me thinkin' where I could find a site that has those words and some other slang from 'nam. Does anyone of ya know? And then the other question. If anyone of you have seen the movie Preadotr then here is the question; What's the song called that they play on the chopper when they are been taken to the jungle? Thanks.

Die Alive 0 Posted March 18, 2002 Actually this site is what you're probably looking for. My favorite term: beans and motherfuckers : military C-ration lima beans and ham -=Die Alive=- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChickenHawk 0 Posted March 18, 2002 Semper Fi is the United States Marines motto. It means Always Faithful. I wonder how many marines wives during the Nam war would agree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tex -USMC- 0 Posted March 18, 2002 Semper Fi is short for Semper Fidelis, which, like he said, means "Always Faithful". I suggest you watch Full Metal Jacket, because it is a badass (but disturbing) Nam movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only two things come from Texas, queers and steers! Â And I dont see any horns, so I guess that narrows it down a little. Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, FMJ Actually, it's one of the best WAR movies, period. Â Does anyone know where to find a region 1 encoded DVD of Full Metal Jacket in -=WIDESCREEN=-? All I can find anywhere is the pan and scan version. Â I havent seen the whole movie since the theater. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Die Alive 0 Posted March 18, 2002 I must of seen FMJ in the theaters over a dozen times by now.. I'm lucky, there's a cinema near my house that only plays "old" movies, and they play FMJ at least 3 times a year, and I go every time it plays. -=Die Alive=- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
