Full Mental Jacket

Amazon takes out the K word:
Modine, who starred in the iconic film, paired a smartphone screenshot of the Full Metal Jacket poster as advertised on Amazon Prime with the original poster, which indeed showed that the phrase “Born to Kill” had been removed from the drawing of the soldier’s helmet, though it must be noted that the phrase appeared in regular search bars. “Who decided to remove ‘BORN TO KILL?’ Modine wondered aloud. “Not only did they alter a piece of iconic art by Philip Castle, but they completely misunderstood the point of it being there. Pvt. Joker wears the helmet with ‘BORN TO KILL’ and the peace button as a statement about ‘the duality of man.”
