“	If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day, you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human f---ing beings. You are nothing but unorganized grab-a---tic pieces of amphibian s---! Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair. There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on n-----s, k---s, w--s or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps. Do you maggots understand that?	„
	~ Some of Sgt. Hartman's first lines.

“	Private Pyle, you had best swear your a-- away and start s---ing me Tiffany cuff links, or I will definitely f--k you up!!	„
	~ Sgt. Hartman's second famous quote.

Sgt. Hartman is the main antagonist of the first half of the 1987 war film Full Metal Jacket. He is the film version of Gunnery Sergeant Gerheim from the novel in which the film is inspired, The Short-Timers.

He is a foul-mouthed drill sergeant who appears to bully and torment his recruits as he was ordered to do and shapening them for war, most frequently Private Pyle because he is a "disgusting fatbody".

He was portrayed by the late R. Lee Ermey, who also portrayed Sheriff Warren Pike in Life and Sheriff Hoyt in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise.
