Happy Birthday to the legendary R. Lee Ermey! Your unforgettable portrayal of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in "Full Metal Jacket" still echoes loudly, inspiring laughter and fear simultaneously—no one has ever made boot camp insults sound so poetic or hilarious.

Your iconic lines have become timeless classics; generations continue quoting your sharp wit at every opportunity. Whether motivating troops with tough love or making us chuckle uncontrollably through sheer intensity, you've left an indelible mark on cinema history.

Here's hoping you're celebrating today by giving heaven's recruits a proper dressing-down—they probably need it! Happy birthday, Gunny—you magnificent motivator you!
