Scummers will be scummin'.
I wish them happiness too.
I still never understand though, why the liberals and media jumped all over Bristol, when she was pregnant without a husband. Reason being, these liberal types see nothing negative about out of wedlock parenting, and criticize conservatives who are concerned about this subject. Yet they decided, in the case of Bristol Palin, that out of wedlock pregnancy was indeed an issue of concern. Go figure.
I would not have even known that this was Bristol if I just saw the picture. She doesn’t look anything like I remembered - has she had surgery?
I can't wait for the looney tunes left to claim she is just using a decorated Marine to enhance her political ambitions ...
Nothing is beneath them...
Well, good for her. This guy’s certainly got nothing to prove!
So happy for them both. Sounds like she made a good choice this time. I wish them the best and much happiness.
Good for them. Best wishes.
She looks the same. She has lost some weight.
The correct phrase is Medal Of Honor Recipient.
But I know you meant it as a good thing
Very nice! Wishes for a long happy life!
Wow. Am I seeing things? Or did she lose a lot of weight?
Surgery at her age?
I doubt it!
Looks to me like she’s shed her baby-fat or whatever its called.
She is so in love with him that she dieted it off.
She’ll need the headroom for the kids. By the way what happened to the kid she and Levi had?
I follow Bristol on Facebook and that girl is just as conservative and outspoken as her mother. Maybe more. If she’s happy. I’m happy.

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving with Marine Embedded Training Team 2-8, Regional Corps Advisory Command 3-7, in Kunar Province, Afghanistan, on 8 September 2009. Corporal Meyer maintained security at a patrol rally point while other members of his team moved on foot with two platoons of Afghan National Army and Border Police into the village of Ganjgal for a pre-dawn meeting with village elders. Moving into the village, the patrol was ambushed by more than 50 enemy fighters firing rocket propelled grenades, mortars, and machine guns from houses and fortified positions on the slopes above. Hearing over the radio that four U.S. team members were cut off, Corporal Meyer seized the initiative. With a fellow Marine driving, Corporal Meyer took the exposed gunner's position in a gun-truck as they drove down the steeply terraced terrain in a daring attempt to disrupt the enemy attack and locate the trapped U.S. team. Disregarding intense enemy fire now concentrated on their lone vehicle, Corporal Meyer killed a number of enemy fighters with the mounted machine guns and his rifle, some at near point blank range, as he and his driver made three solo trips into the ambush area. During the first two trips, he and his driver evacuated two dozen Afghan soldiers, many of whom were wounded. When one machine gun became inoperable, he directed a return to the rally point to switch to another gun-truck for a third trip into the ambush area where his accurate fire directly supported the remaining U.S. personnel and Afghan soldiers fighting their way out of the ambush. Despite a shrapnel wound to his arm, Corporal Meyer made two more trips into the ambush area in a third gun-truck accompanied by four other Afghan vehicles to recover more wounded Afghan soldiers and search for the missing U.S. team members. Still under heavy enemy fire, he dismounted the vehicle on the fifth trip and moved on foot to locate and recover the bodies of his team members. Corporal Meyer's daring initiative and bold fighting spirit throughout the 6-hour battle significantly disrupted the enemy's attack and inspired the members of the combined force to fight on. His unwavering courage and steadfast devotion to his U.S. and Afghan comrades in the face of almost certain death reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.
You noticed that too.
Loverly!
Ref: “and unless they kicked you out, you are never “former member.”
A minor correction and a “Simper Fi” from an Army guy. Former Marines refer to themselves as “former Marines.” They never use the term “Ex” when referring to themselves. There are only two “Ex-Marines:” Lee Harvey Oswald and John Murtha.
