In your dreams "Popeye"! Another squid fantacy. I spent alot of time in the Philippines (Olongapo), and can tell you, it was a "Dung-heap", a first class drunken exercise in macheseemo. Most of the clowns who spent their time and money in the ville had their brains in their pants. Of course those types have it in for marines, because the marines are the ones who enforce discipline on the base and ship, so naturally all the bar-flys have it in for them. (Kind of like COP haters in the civilian world).
However, all that aside, it is a good anology for someone with only half a brain. Get a life Jerk!

Let me say that my respect for the Corps is unwavering and my respect for a good Marine unqualified. I recollect many such Marines. Many are gentlemen of the highest sort, perhaps a bit rough around the edges, but most certainly gentlemen.

I do remember Olongapo. A sad and violent place.

I didn't enjoy a Marine being used for an example of this sort.

I recollect young Marines I used to know, their faces fading with time from my memory. Wonderful memories from my youth. I remember one young Marine of a different sort I knew in those days so long ago now and remember him without affection or respect. I wish I could be more clear.

The smiley face next to my comment means I was joking. We're all on the same side, here. I know the point being made was for Israel to keep up the offensive. *sheesh!*
