"With 27 years active duty, two Purle Hearts, 22 months in country in a USMC rifle paltoon.."

Okay...you most surely understand the concept, I apologize and Semper Fi Marine.

We still differ on the article. To me, the article wasn't about her as much as it was "esprit de corps", to you it was about her faliures and frailties.

Answer me this...what did she write in the article about the USMC bothered you so?

We do see it a bit differently.

The reporter boasts about the harships of being Marine...yet: she rfused to go to battle, complains that she had only one hour a day to shower, hadn't had coffee in two days, lived in a tent, was on a ship and rear echelon command post, etc., etc.

See...my experience is a lot different...the 0311 doesn't have that sort of environment and her report portrays her as a real tough, had it hard embedded with the grunt and know the deal USMC environment...and it just ain't so, Bro...you know that.
