    R. Lee Ermey, a former Marine Corps drill instructor known to millions of moviegoers as the sadistic Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket," died Sunday morning, according to his longtime manager. He was 74.

    I'm inspired by the intestinal fortitude the man possessed in calling a spade a spade Hollywood didn't like that; I'm in awe of it. RIP, Mr. Ermey.
