Gomer Pyle Character 5-29-22

Good afternoon listeners, In this episode, we analyze the relationship between Gunnery Sgt Hartmann and Gomer Pyle (Leanord Lawrance) in "Full Metal Jacket" As you recall, the Drill Sgt. came down very hard on Gomer Pyle during boot camp, however in retrospect, it seems that the Sgt saw potential in Gomer Pyle, that is why he rode him so hard.  Unfortunately, all of that backfired on Gunnery Sgt. Hartmann and there was the tragic result, which we will discuss. Thank you for listening.
