The Navy (Marine Corps) never was a collection of sensitive liberals. HUOOA!!!

Don't know if this is for real or good "Dan Rather - Mary Mapes" document. Either way it's a hoot!!

[Steveone]

That is funny!

[Spok]

Where can we get those t-shirts?

You had me going until:

"The above T-shirts are to be removed from Post Exchanges upon receipt of this directive. "

The Navy and Marine Corps do not have "Post Exchanges." They have NEXs or Navy Exchanges.

How do you give a Marine "sensitivity" training?

[steveo]

Good catch... most likely BS

[TeenagedConservative]

ROFL!! I need those T-shirts.

[Mr. Lucky]

It's fake (but accurate).

[injin]

I got another good one for t-shirts :
F*** Islam

I wear mine with pride.... ;^)

[douginthearmy]

Except that most of the bases in Iraq are Army posts with all branches serving on them...

[Not A Snowbird]

Has to be a joke. The 16000 series SSIC code is wrong for uniform regs; it would be in the 1020 series (if memory serves... its' been awhile.)

Good, though!

How do you give a Marine "sensitivity" training?

Have him work on his breath control and trigger squeeze?

I noticed they don't have my "Koran, now in two-ply" T-Shirt on the list, so I'm safe.

Well, that, and I'm not in the Army anymore.

[Modok]

Ever hear of Murtha.

[TankerKC]

I noticed that too.

[Kozak]

I just talked to an Army reservist who confirmed to me this is correct. Same thing went out to the Army.

[RockinRight]

I'd love to have that shirt!

#5 is clearly BS - the military could never be this succinct.

It's all pretty funny though.
