What was the name of the movie about a 'hippie' guy who is drafted and t!


Question: It is from the 60s or 70s. He gets drafted and gets in trouble for not conforming. He meditates to get through punishment, and teaches the other soilders in basic training how to meditate and stuff. At the end he goes AWOL, but his Sgt. goes out and finds him and convinces him to come back and finish basic and "graduate". He comes back but the evil Col. who hates him ends up flunking him and making him do basic all over again, which makes the guy just go AWOL for real.

The movie is Tribes, a 1970 TV film staring Jan-Michael Vincent as the Marine and Darren McGavin as his drill sergeant. Its a terrific movie (won an Emmy for best teleplay), and great acting by both guys.

Vincent did do Baby Blue Marine, which came out in 1976. That movie he also plays a Marine who washes out of boot camp during World War II - he's sent home in disgrace in the "baby blue" uniform of shame, but he ends up knocking out a veteran and switching uniform, then is mistaken as a war hero. The first hour is pretty good, but its as if they couldn't decide how the ending should go, so the second part is chopped up in editing.

Baby Blue Marine...Starring Jay Micheal Vincent.
