marygonzo, Todd Akin is not a Marine. He never was. He served after college as an officer in the Army Reserve.

Maybe you should learn more about the man before you start blasting other freepers.

It's a pretty simple thing to visit his official website...

Thanks, Smooth...I had no idea what service Akin had been in and it really doesn't matter but it's easy to spot blowhards like this one.
