I don't smoke anymore, but I think this guy's picture is great. I'm sure it just throws the Liberals in a tizzy that kids are being exposed to a REAL man.

And back home, in his Appalachian hometown of Jonancy, Ky., his mother reveled at seeing his picture on television just to know her oldest of three sons was OK.

He's better than OK, he is a HERO!

There was another thread on NYC, smoking and the Marlboro Man, including this line from the article:

"shoot a f###in' sand goblin, win a f####in' smoke"

He's better than OK, he is a HERO! Mother's thinking process:"The oldest of my three sons was OK" Dad's and younger brother's thinking process:"That's my boy, and our brother!!! He is a HERO!!!" Speaking of the Dad why haven't we heard from him? It works for me.

Chicago Tribune also. They said the medic constantly reminds him to quit because smoking will kill him before he would get killed in battle. Unbelievable BS.

Speaking of the Dad why haven't we heard from him? It works for me.

"His father didn't recognize the camouflaged and bloodied man as the boy they knew. "Those eyes are not the eyes I'm used to seeing in his face."

I suspect this young Marine will have all the free smokes he can handle soon.

I grew up in WWII----I was 13 when it ended. When I looked at the pic you posted tears came into my eyes. I remember when I first saw it.
