A US Marine at a roadway checkpoint, bored to tears, talking to a Baghdad-bound Iraqi taxi driver. You have to understand Marine humor in combat, a little on the sick side, but very funny. This lad's sarcasm and cynicism is profound and hilarious. This might be why the Commandant of the Marine Corps tried to have the Marines pulled from Iraq and sent to Afghanistan, because the lance corporals were complaining that they had no one to shoot at. Of course, Secretary Gates turned him down, so now the Marines are passing the word via cab drivers for the insurgents to come out and play.

Wow, that was a morning maker, that was! There wasn’t much language...I hear that every day from people who’ve never set foot in a requiting office. Besides, there ARE a $hitload of them in Baghdad. The poor cabdriver’s reaction was priceless, though...and the “wear your seatbelt, have a nice day” part was a great touch!

Yet the libs try to convince us that these men and women want a President who will pull them out and bring them home where they’ll “be safe”? heheh

Wish I could photoshop. I’d do a nice shot of a tough looking Marine with his DMR and a
“GOT INSURGENTS?”
