It wasn't meant to. The whole movie was supposed to be a critique on the stupidity and sickness of war. You'd have to be one dumb mother fucker to watch that movie, have the whole point fly right over your head, and say, I should join the marines because guys with guns look cool and I want to look cool.
At the very least no intelligent whites were lost as a result of watching that movie.
The entire gomer pyle arc at the beginning was so badass, it took me till my 30s to realize they were saying don't go. Platoon made war look like complete hell. Lee Ermy made me wanna go hang out.
