J.H.C.! Will the two of you both give it a rest? For a couple of old-time FReepers, both of you seem to be like two guys in bar that have had one wee dram to many.
AndyJackson: if you actually ARE a submariner, you remind of the pipsqueak in the same bar who would pick a fight with some skimmers ... or some jarheads, then pray to your shipmates to 'get your back'! Why are you dragging other boat sailors into personal disagreement? None of us has a dog in this particular fight.
And kellynla: Remember that 'sailors' (FMF corpsmen) took care of YOUR butts when they got bloodied - those same corpsmen served independent duty taking care of submariners. The Marines and the Army got all the ink in 'Nam, but before, during and after that conflict neither you nor the public at large have any concept about the reality of what went down for the 'Silent Service' in that era.
Enough already!
Submariner.....You turn my stomach, mister!
It is this so-called marine who took this personal, not me.
So I won't
; )
Seriously though, Y'all behave before they cancel Liberty for all of us.
