"Every war is different. Every war is the same." This quote from Jarhead could be considered a tagline or a brief summary of what Jarhead is trying to convey to us, the moviegoer. How is every war different? Every war is different because of the politics surrounding the war, the reason for going to war, and the actual nature of the fighting. How is every war the same? Because in every war there are brave men, sacrificing everything.
That is what Jarhead comes down to. Nothing matters but the brotherhood you serve with, the men you fight along side, the men you risk your life serving beside. Jarhead is a look into the job that is being a soldier. Granted, we hardly see it as a job, but it is just that, a job. And that is where Jarhead soars, describing the life of a solider; the pains, trials, and frustrations that come with serving in the armed forces.
