R. Lee Ermey is dead

Story here. I ran into him many times at NRA Board meetings, and the strange part is that he was a really nice guy. But then I never crossed him. In real life as a gunny, and in the movies, he played a part and played it very well.
UPDATE: Hollywood blacklisted Ermey after he dared to criticize President Obama. And spelling corrected!

Oh, and it's Ermey, not Emery!!!
Exposed the the truth of '60's boot camp. HeHeHe.
Before PC & DI sensitivity training hit.
I liked him. However, he was never a gunny in real life, having received an honorary promotion to gunnery sergeant in 2002.
