"I was basically a leech on the side of America's body, sitting there, sucking blood out, not doing anything productive. Finally, when I joined the Marine Corps, I understood what it was to be an American," said Martinez.

Thank you, Sgt. Martinez. Thank you, Sir.

[Ancient Drive]

no social engineering helped him.. it was just plain old stepping up .. being a man.

I’m against bilingual education, but possibly Hard Corp should be translated and dropped over MS-13 and Zeta neighborhoods in LA, et cetera.

The Military not only consists of America’s finest, it MAKES people fine and proud.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Corps

[redstateone]

Amen to that. A living example of the American Dream in action.

Semper Fi!

[redstateone]

Heck, I’d be happy if “Hard Corps” were dropped
over the NY Times building and the rest of the liberal
MSM! LOL

[redstateone]

Wish all the anti-military types could figure that out.

But they don’t like guys like Sgt. Martinez, because he doesn’t fit their script. He’s a self-made American.
And hero to match.

[Berlin_Freeper]

We need a penal battalion for the MSM to look up to.

[ErnBatavia]

Martinez in the Blues.

[redstateone]

And with Steve Forbes, no less!

Thank you, SIR...

[SueRae]

Outstanding.

Martinez found an enemy RPG and fired it into the house. Then he rushed the house, single-handedly taking out everyone inside with a grenade and a rifle.

I'm exceptionally proud to share my country with this fellow, but I wonder if, properly armed, he couldn't have single-handedly solved the country's gang problem.

[redstateone]

I’m not a betting man, but I’d guess “YES!”

Incredible human being.

God bless him.

[redstateone]

Yeah...that’s what I said, too. Wow!

“Hard Corps” indeed.

[Psychic Dice]

>>Corps

YIKES!!

Thanks.

Hillary should be asked a pop question: "What do you think about Sergeant Marco Martinez statements on the difference between senseless violence and violence to defend from senseless violence?" "Hillary?" "Hillary?" Every member of congress/senate should find a copy on their desks and an ORDER to read it...the lily-livered traitors among them especially

[redstateone]

I concur.

Martinez’s “Hard Corps” line is:

“Violence isn’t senseless. Senseless violence is senseless.”

Wish they would read his book, too.

Also wish you—and not Wolf Blitzer—were moderating the next Democrat debate!
