Let's start with an iron, the boy looks like he just crawled out of a dumpster. You don't disgrace my uniform looking like that. I make no apologies for it...I would've peeled his face off.
When I think of all the mean things I've said about Marines over the years (all of them deserved, naturally) and I see something like that I want to make a crawling, public apology. That isn't a Marine. That never could be a Marine on his best day, and every one of us who had the honor to serve with a Marine would know that in a microsecond. What that miserable, puling, diaper-crapping thing in costume is I'd be banned for putting in print.
LOL
Something way out of whack. I guess it is "cosplay" at its worst.
Oh, he’s a wanna-be...not worthy of your angst....never gonna sit in a fighting hole with you. Poor dweeb could never get laid even parading around in poor attempts at Leatherneck garb....You and me? We joined up to defend God, Country, Corps...this little retard is part of Country...good, bad or indifferent. Feel sorry for him. Feel sad for him but remember we took an oath to kill for him too. It’s in our creedo...
You make a very good point. He does look like a dumb kid trying to make himself more manly. Probably no father, etc.
Good to hear that your son was the recipient of the interest of some good men. Thanks to you for raising a man who’s willing to protect us.

Hell I like you! You can come over to my house and !@#$ my sister!
LOL!
Okay, that’s ... mental illness, right there. Are we sure that’s a guy?
LOL! Yeah, that asshat was my all time favorite.
Is it me or are those ribbons in rather random order?
That guy behind him in the shades is pretty cute, though.
You and I, we’re probably about the same age and may have served at the same time. I don’t know why but the older I get, the meaner I get. :) Folks will just have to forgive me when it comes to my beloved Marine Corps. I take no prisoners.

The ribbon I listed as ‘Unknown’ I can not find even though I have looked at a number of websites. If anyone knows what it is please inform us.
You and I raised our right hand to defend that little faggot in his obvious failed attempt at Summer Service Charlies...as much as it makes me throw up in my mouth a little, I would kill and die for him.
Thanks you for all we we did, or were willing to do!
Whaaaaat? No MOH?
Nevermind. I found it. The unknown ribbon I couldn’t seem to find is the
Army Overseas Service Ribbon
This putz wears two of the same ribbon and then adds an Army ribbon to his Marine “uniform.” ROFLMAO!!!
(Quickly ducking and taking cover.....)
snicker, snicker
LOL!
Pretty cool that one's above and one's below his Combat Action Ribbon (second row, rightmost in photo, his leftmost). There ain't many that come in below the NDSM. :=)
Not only that, but even in the Air Force, we zoomies were required to ensure our new uniforms were trimmed of all dangling/loose threads. That pocket area would be a no go.
