MEMES on Instagram: "😂 Jarhead is a 2005 war drama film directed by Sam Mendes. It’s based on the true story and memoir of Anthony Swofford, a U.S. Marine who served during the Gulf War in the early 1990s. The movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Swofford, alongside Jamie Foxx and Peter Sarsgaard. The term “jarhead” is actually a slang nickname for U.S. Marines, referring to the shape of their high-and-tight haircuts, which makes their heads look like jars."

It focuses more on boredom, tension, and the mental side of being deployed, which is why so many moments feel awkwardly funny and uncomfortable.
