The movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Jamie Foxx, and Peter Sarsgaard. The movie portrays marine, Anthony Swofford, and his experience being deployed in the Arabian Peninsula then to Kuwait. Much of Jarhead presents the soldiers journey and lessons he learned through his deployment.  *SPOILERS*     The song ' Fight the Power' by Public Enemy, takes place after the return of Anthony and another soldier from a sniping mission. Both men are upset they have not killed an insurgent or shot there rifles once. As they reach their FOB, Anthony hears screams just beyond a desert hill. Anticipating to kill, he jumps over the top of the hill just to see American soldiers partying. In the background ' Fight the Power' is being played w...
