My last ship was steam. 23yrs ago.

Steam power is coal or nuclear today.

My idea of a hybrid car is gasoline/steam

When I make a comment about WWII I always use “Jap”, Modern-day discussions I use Japanese. I think that my old man used the same convention. Although I do know he’d be real disappointed in me owning some Japanese built cars!

But they’re counting each other as sex partners.

[SuperLuminal]

"Report: Marines lead all services in binge drinking, sex partners"

A far more important first, they are: "..first to fight for right and freedom...and to keep our honor clean..."

So drinking and sex are not relevant to anything except keeping spirits up when you have been trained to know you are probably going to die in a foreign land...At least that's the way it was for us between 1951 and 1957...

[Az Joe]

Were you counting each other as sex partners? That’s what I heard.

Go Navv...a global force for good!

[Az Joe]

M.A.R.I.N.E. - stands for “My A** rides in Naval equipment”.

[Az Joe]

What do you get when cross a gorilla with marine?

A retarded gorilla!

GO NAVY MOTHERFUCKER!!

[null and void]

It is true that the Marine Corps is a department of the Navy.

The MEN'S department.

You make a good point.   The following youtube clip reflects that same kind of perspective on things...

       "Marines' Hymn, slow version"

God bless the Marines!

What a stupid comment.

My Grandfather was in China Burma India With Stillwell

><><

So was my Dad. He was with Stillwell when the Japs were chasing them. Dad took communications gear in on mules.

I’d bet they rubbed elbows.

A new report from the RAND Corporation analyzed survey data from thousands of active-duty military members and found Marines are more likely to be heavy drinkers, use tobacco and engage in riskier sexual behavior than the sailors, soldiers and airmen of the other branches.

Sailors this can not be allowed to stand

Time to get RANDY

[laplata]

The same with my Dad. He was in CBI and then the initial occupation of Japan. General MacArthur ordered that the term Jap was not to be used by American troops. They were to be referred to as Japanese.

Dad, like your Dad, used both terms.

Before he died in 1974, Dad rode in my Toyota and didn’t comment. But he sure liked my brother’s Chevy. lol

God bless the Marine Corps!! Semper Fi!

In the 80s I went to work for JVC and bought an Audi.

My father wondered just who the hell won the war?

[pfflier]

Marines should be more like the f’ing Chair Force

More airmen of the "f'ing chair force died" in the air over europe alone in WWII than all the marines in all theatres. Their purple hearts were all earned the same way.

Rand Corp: Marines lead all services in binge drinking, sex partners

Marines: Woo Hoo! Still the champs!

[pfflier]

What sound do Marines pray for in a firefight?

Brrrrrrrrrttt

That's the famous wart(hog) fart of death from above.
