That Marine is what America should be. Instead, fully one half of our population doesn’t enough spine to fill his middle finger.
And here in CONUS, stood in line at the PX pizza shop (near Pope AFB) behind 2 grunts that were obviously out running their PT(shorts, t-shirt, running shoes, and lots of smelly sweat) and stopped in for pizza. I looked down and saw that one had his left leg replaced with a prosthetic, and one his right. Both below the knee.
Later that month, some airborne re-qualified for their wings.
I am honored and proud that they are Americans.
