"that a bunch of gung ho marines (God Bless them though He didn't make them smart enough to get in the ARMY)"

I read from your profile you're an Army vet, so what you wrote makes sense to you. But please please don't criticize our dead soldiers, no matter what branch of the military they belong to. They are ALL there for US.

I have to agree with this. The inter-service rivalries are more appropriate for a vastly different time.

You did catch the God Bless them part? I did not, would not, will not, criticise dead Marines (and if they could they would kick your ass for calling them soldiers, so I know your not a Marine). I suspect I have as many friends and family over there as any FReeper and I pray daily for every one of them. Making fun of each other goes with the uniform and hasn't got a thing to do with my feelings for them.
