Where do I start with a question like this? This is one of the most inexplicable things I've ever seen on imdb.com, and that's saying a lot.

Why all the hate for Barnes... ... because of his madness and the gunning down of a VC granny.
But in Full Metal Jacket everyone doesn't seem to mind "Animal Mother" gunning down random folks in a rice field for no reason other than insanity.
Well, out of many possible reasons: because a.) Much of what Barnes does is absolutely reprehensible, b.) not everyone who saw this movie also saw Full Metal Jacket, and c.) even if they have seen FMJ, it IS possible to hate more than one scumbag at a time.
Honestly, your question comes across to me as "Why all this hate for Adolf Hitler because of his madness and killing over six million Jews? Josef Stalin was responsible for over twice as many deaths for no reason other than insanity and 'everyone doesn't seem to mind'."
Seriously, because insane Scumbag B is more of an insane scumbag than insane Scumbag A, you think Scumbag A deserves a break or a pass?
