But it's time to drop it.

Hogwash. It's long past time that America knows that one branch of the military didn't succumb to that Commie Clinton and his gang of fellow lefties on the Hill who have attempted and in some cases succeeded in weakening the United States and it's ability to defend itself. America doesn't need a Marine Corps. America wants a Marine Corps. Because of this trust the taxpayer deserves to know that there are 170,000+ warriors who take the extraordinary and make it ordinary. Our sister services as well as the average citizen would be well served to follow the Corps' lead, although history has shown that they have been reluctant and unwilling to do so in the past.

Oh, I see. So in this time of trouble and turmoil, when Americans of every political persuasion are coming together for the common good, YOUR primary concern is that "eveyone in America" knows that Clinton was a Commie.

Oh, and that would be the America that voted for him twice, and nearly voted for him a third time, by proxy, in the person of Algore.

IOW, you think that after 8 1/2 years, Americans are finally gonna "get it" because some of the Marines' boosters (that would be yourself) want to continue a pointless p*ssing contest with the other branches of the service.

If you're haven't yet reached adulthood, please forgive what I'm about to say. But you are an adolescent moron.

We have far more at stake here than your endorphin levels. We happen to be at war, and it will take every man-jack of us--even a hyper-extenuated teenager like yourself--to pull through this thing.

And if you're trying to convince ME that our other SpecOps assets are without any merit, and ONLY the USMC can save the day, then you've failed. I happen to respect and admire ALL of our highly-trained and highly-motivated fighting men, the Marines not least of all.

Go back to your comic books. The adults have work to do.

I have to agree with you. I'll never forget when Clinton's female Deputy SECDEF got on national television, and called the Marine Corps "an extremist organization." She confirmed the idiocy of their whole mindset.

Do you mean that the commies didn't make them sew 'diversity quilts' like they did the CIA? I'm still trying to figure out who made them 'paste, color, and sew' these quilts. I would have QUIT! Welcome to the SICKO world of 'sensitivity training'. Seven thousand people gave their lives because of it and I want someone to pay! To start the list of SICKOS...

Hillary Clinton
Al Gore

I'd be honored if you'd accept a Semper Fi from an Ex-USAF type.

A tip of my green beanie to the Corps. I had the privilege of not only training some, but working with some on ops. The only thing I had a problem with was being referred to as Girl Scouts, which always led to a good punch up. Good times had by all. De Oppresso Liber.
