full metal jacket or platoon true war story

For 'Full Metal Jacket', the intense and often brutal military training sequence at the beginning is a big part of it. It shows how soldiers are molded into killing machines. And then the combat scenes in Vietnam also seem very realistic. In 'Platoon', it's the detailed portrayal of the soldiers' daily lives in the jungle. The fear, the camaraderie, and the moral dilemmas they face all contribute to it being seen as a true war story.

Well, both 'Full Metal Jacket' and 'Platoon' are great at telling war stories, but in different ways. 'Full Metal Jacket' focuses a lot on the dehumanizing aspect of military training and how it affects the soldiers in combat. However, 'Platoon' seems to capture more of the overall experience of being in the war, with the relationships between the soldiers, the jungle environment, and the constant threat. So I'd give the edge to 'Platoon' for a more 'true war story'.
