Well some Pogues went outside the wire so they weren’t total Hobbits.

[NorthMountain]

Name calling in that manner is seems petty.

Name-calling in general is petty and indicative of a defective mind.

[Blueflag]

Autocorrect got me .

Fobbits. Not hobbits.

[metmom]

But is VERY typical of democrats.

[NorthMountain]

It’s a wonder he didn’t get fragged.

I have observed that entering politics usually changes people in a very negative way. "Colonel Smith" may have been a courageous and brilliant officer ... and then he becomes "Senator Smith", and is just a terrible person.

I offer the late COL John Glenn ==> SEN John Glenn as an example.

[RinaseaofDs]

It’s the Irish word for a$$hole as well. Pogue mahone literally means ‘kiss my a$$’.

[budj]

It's very simple: Seth Moulton is an EX Marine.

Heh, I have been called all those things, Swabbie, Airedale, Brown Shoe, and I have used those terms towards others, Snipe, Bilge Rat, Bubblehead, Grunt, Jarhead, Zoomies, etc.

I have found that if you have a thin skin, all that does is invite more of it with more ridicule and venom, so...when someone calls me a Swabbie, I shrug my shoulders and embrace it with a “Yeah-I am a Swabbie! I’ve used a swab...”

As you said, in my experience, it is almost always used in a poke-poke-nudge-nudge way, just to see how someone reacts to it!

[Flaming Conservative]

Or Joseph Galloway.

[ComputerGuy]

I was barely holding on, but when they got to pizza by the slice, I lost it.

[ComputerGuy]

In my day, Legs were infantry. At least to my airborne SF friends. Jumping out of perfectly good airplanes made them ‘elite’.

[Flaming Conservative]

Or Desmond Doss.

[PghBaldy]

I thought it should be “former Marine,” unless separated from the USMC in dishonorable way.

[jacknhoo]

I don’t find name calling as offensive as most people it seems. The guy was just being mean and petty, something journalists shouldn’t be when performing their jobs, but as we’ve all witnessed the past 3 decades or so, we don’t have journalists but rather Yellow Journalists.

[stylin19a]

A Bobby Garwood marine?(lower case on purpose) just damn...

[MeanWestTexan]

Infantry sure liked getting in my bird when things got too hot, as I landed through fire to get them.

We had, and have always had, the highest casualty rate of any MOS.

[ComputerGuy]

Garwood lived in Raleigh, NC for a while during the 1990s. I spoke with him a few times and still have Conversations With the Enemy on my bookshelf.

[WildHighlander57]

😁

[Jamestown1630]

Marines think of themselves as *always* Marines.

[MNJohnnie]

Unfortunately there is a type “grunt” officer that loves to talk tough then lead from the rear. In their units all the real work is delegated to the NCOS while they spend all their time kneepadding the higher ups. They are mostly politicians pretending to be “warriors”
