Haven't heard about this. I'm hoping it's Saddam's nuts getting cracked. Zarqawi or an assortment of liberal moonbats works, too.

Be nice? Come ON...
I would not for the world imply that the Marines were well equipped to be ballerinas...

Let's get this over with.

The nutcracker is actually a very descriptive title for a Marine. They should give that name to the next Marine Iraq operation.

I love The Nutcracker and really wish I could see this. And the Marine is right: ballet is VERY hard work! It requires strength, agility, and endurance - all things the Marines are known for.

They were probably told the name of the show was "Ballbuster."

Ballet and Marines should never be in the same sentence.

"Ballet and Marines should never be in the same sentence."Aw, c'mon chesty....
Adapt, improvise, overcome!
Besides, the production company is probably loaded with lithe, muscular, ballet dancers (hot chicks)...hit it!
...Ooh Rah!!!

It probably didn't take much arm twisting on their part to get the guys involved in it. A few pics of their ballet pals probably did the trick.
