“The popular song is that Marines gave their lives for our freedom, but with the general adventurism of recent decades that has been vitiated. Does this translate into an imperative to try to colonize the whole world by perpetual police action?”
What are you talking about? Be careful, good buddy, because you’re about to lose a whole bunch of respect.
Well if it is for failure to perpetuate a myth, maybe I never needed the respect? The veneration for Marines can get downright blasphemous towards God at times.
What Christ did on the cross beats out any Marine.
