3 Network News Anchors and an old U.S. Marine Gunnery Sgt. were captured by terrorists in Iraq...

Oh yeah, like that is going to stop them.

I'm afraid that was my thought, too. My other thought was that the three talking heads behaved with uncharacteristic restraint and dignity.

Would Katie Couric ask for fried chicken? No, she would say, "Do you know WHO I AM?"

In fact, all three would demand to be released, leaving the Marine to be executed.

I don’t get it.

Try sending flowers, chocolates, take her to a nice restaurant, get a good wine, bathe and shave every day, lose 20 pounds, get some men's cologne....

It all helps.

MI Officer Motto: ....on the other hand.....
All war stories start with, “No shit, guys, this really happened”
Except for aviation war stories that all start with “There I was at 30,000 feet.....

First Sergeant: Well, Sir, back when I encountered this problem the first time, in Normandy in the winter of 1944.....

Back in III Corps in 71, when a State Department Weenie threatened to get me in trouble for “manhandling” my ARVN RTO (I pulled him into shell hole when the PAVN opened up on us with a .51), the Battalion commander told him, “Son, Captain XXX’s sergeants really like him, and they don't like Washington Limp Dicks like you, and I've already got my next assignment.... and it's to the Pentagon, so they can't do anything worse to me.... so if the sergeants want to f you up real bad, because you are effing with our unit... I probably won't be here to stop them....

Loved that man!

or as I was once told:
You can't do that.
Don't do it here.
I do not want to know about it.
It really needs to be done.
I don't want to see you two for three days.

It got done.
