"At least they died for a good cause." - "And what cause was that?" I'm a staunch defender of the second half. For me, the beauty of Full Metal Jacket is the contrast between the two halves. The first half establishes order and discipline only to deconstruct these ideals from the moment Private Pyle cracks. The second half is chaotic and messy precicely to underline that point.
