Semper Fi.
What an awesomely strong and dedicated Marine!
Not to harp on an old issue, but this is exactly the type of person whom the NYT /spit betrayed with their treasonous garbage. Scum, not worthy to wipe the sweat off of this Marine's brow -- that what the NYT and their ilk are.

He's also a Texan. And most importantly, a United States Marine. 'nuff said.
Hard to believe that our own people would take the side of the enemy so quickly and easily.Will they go after the Russians when they close with their tormenters ?
