Are there still soldiers like Animal Mother out there...or is he just a speck and a particle of a bygone era...?

That is a fictional character but yes some join the military just because they want to kill.

The peacenik medics that refuse to carry a gun are crazier than any infantryman.

He said he wanted to be a killer, but that doesn't necessarily mean to kill.

I knew a few Marines who were similarly aggressive and carried themselves like him. But it's important to remember Animal mother is a caricature, so still is kind of a stretch.

Wrong, animal mother was just a successful Pyle who made it out of basic. He probably didn’t join to kill, he joined ‘cause he was stupid and drafted in and he became an animal mother in the battlefield.

He started off as soft Private Pyle, and through the tender care of Sgt Hartman he was transformed into a robotic killing machine who like small prostitutes and the song Bird is the Word

War is only cool as long as you’re not the one being droned/under aerial attack.

Business insider did an hour long documentary on some Army war exercise in Hawaii and there was a OEF/OIF vet SFC like that. At the end of the documentary he talked about trying to get knocked down to E-4 so he was in a better position to be closer to the action if a war with China happened. I feel like a lot guys who went through the surge are like that but they are a dying breed.

Believe me: In every company in every regiment in every army in the world there's at least one Animal Mother.
>Not really intelligent, sometimes even dumb, but definetly street smart or redneck smart.
>Simple straightforward thinking. Me Animal Mother, you friend or enemy. Me like or me not like.
>Rather cold character. Might seem cool to some but most think he's rather uncaring, hard - cold.
>Devoted to his immediate buddies but never really close or open hearted. Lots of Animal Mothers only have one dude in their entire military who's really close and understands them.
>Since he's not the biggest fan of discipline he might start doing things the way he thinks is right.
>Absolute beast under stress and fire but might be prone to ignore ROEs, even orders when his primal feelings take the upper hand - anger, vengeance etc.

An Animal Mother was never a Pyle as some wrote. He was a kid from the poorest trash family in town, sometimes a bully, a kid who just didn't seem to be as happy, friendly, careless as his peers.
And be sure: Being in the military, especially in a shooting war, only enhanced these character traits.
He's the one 40-something that every bar bouncer keeps an eye at because his entire attitude screams "trouble".
He's the dude that doesn't hesitate to kill his neighbor's dog for shitting on his lawn.
If he fucks women he never spends a single second thinking about her feelings or joy. He just fucks them to come.
Look around anons. I'm pretty sure moste of you recognize an Animal Mother in your life.
t. older brother of an Animal Mother.

Some might even say there's a little bit of Animal Mother in all of us

The character is obviously intended as an archetype but what are some examples of notable real people who are similar?

Holy shit you morons are functionally illiterate. How can you get through this whole movie and not pick up on this being pure irony, and that Joker is in now way a supporter of the war and in fact he's making fun of the entire thing and the military establishment the whole time. It shows him growing increasingly jaded and worn down by the reality and horror of the situation, punctuated by his mercy killing of the female vietcong sniper which is the death of his carefully protected idealism and detachment.

It disgusts and horrifies me that people as philosophically and intellectually bankrupt as you are allowed an equal vote.

First time on /k/ huh

In all seriousness it's one of the funny things about ironic antifascist movies, they tend to become fascist iconography in their own right. FMJ, Apocalypse Now, Starship Troopers, etc etc. A movie can show cruelty or senseless violence in a negative light, but some portion of the audience with low empathy just goes "yes.jpg."
