“While probably true, I must point out that there is no such thing as a former Marine.”
You are wrong, sir. There are FORMER Marines, but there are no EX-Marines. (However, even that may be disputed, as I know some Gyrenes who take the position that if one is unceremoniously booted out of the Corps, or dishonorably discharged, that can constitute an EX-Marine.)
No they don’t. It was MEN who fought and died to make this country free.
Yep...If he does get married it could damage his life. Not all wives are created equal.
Thank you for correcting my semantical digression.
“...Gun Show and Gun Shop emptying is not also not really about guns, but to make that same statement loudly and clearly....”
It’s the loudest Public Opinion poll result we can make.
He’s a Marine, serving his Country, and by this letter, he shows he understands what is to be an American.
For that alone, he gets respect.
Grow up.
God bless you, Marine.
America died 4 years ago. Just a bunch of vultures, cowards and traitors feeding on it’s rotting corpse.
Some, not all.
Precursor symptoms may occur as early as the mid 40’s and often get confused and passed off as “those subtle declines” that begin occuring in ones life anyway.
It doesn’t surprise me that he developed alzheimers...which when I read your posting I was prompted to ask about his developing dementia. Hopefully you do see that some of your marriage issues may have had something to do with the mental storm he had been dealing with for decades while not exactly being entirely conscious of what was happening to him.
I also feel for you as it must have been frustrating for you in dealing with those sudden illogical twists and increasing quirkiness of his personality and lapses of judgment and memory with any angry emotionality that went with all that.
She is an evil witch, isn’t she? I saw her on Fox over the weekend and her eyes actually POPPED out of her head, veins throbbing, teeth gritted, leaning into the camera, hands clenched, spittle on her lips, when she launched into gun control for YOU (but not for her armed security force, of course). She really is bat-shit crazy and she let her guard down so we could see it.
“I don’t respect any man that served the Usurper.”

I salute him for speaking out. It took courage. Which the members of the U.S. military have in spades. :)
Thash a Troll ya gut there!
“former Marine”

You are right. There no such thing, hence Semper Fidelis.

I take it that you are a former member of the Marines or another branch of the military. I thank you for your service, if I’m right, and God Bless you and yours. :)

I checked back to my two answers. I believe you had said something about how at least he did work on the house, and I clarified that in the earlier part of the marriage, not so much but that Alzheimers changed his brain in a way that did enable us to work well together.
