He was release for time served.
and I suppose you can say the same was true of his so called "vicious" dog.
As for guarding The Memorial,
It would seem to me that they were doing a pretty good job of it,
even if it was not necessary.
He felt was showing his love for this country.
unlike some of the fools that would burn the flag and spit upon our country's vets.

Stop changing the subject. I am talking to you about your behavior. You have ceased defending your point and are defending yourself and if your defending yourself its not a discussion anymore.

Conclusions by people have made about you, because of the way you have expressed and handled yourself.

Again you dont bump to the top threads you do not like or disagree with.

actually TODAY is the MARINE CORP'S birthday

A MESSAGE FROM THE COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS

 

As we commemorate the 226th anniversary of the founding of our Corps, Marines everywhere can take pride in their contributions to our great nation.  We are a Corps born of an act of Congress, consecrated in sacrifice, steeped in tradition, and tested in battle.  Our earned legacy is filled with the names of many great Marines:  Lejeune, Vandegrift, Puller…Butler, Bestwick, Daly -- who fill the annals of our lineage with their inspired acts of vision and gallantry.

 

Heroic actions on the battlefield are a hallmark of our legacy.  Equally compelling are the countless heroic deeds of many other Marines who exemplify the virtue of placing the needs of others above their own.  Whether it be a Marine saving an Okinawan child from drowning, or pulling people from a burning wreck, or a family extending itself to provide a safe, nurturing home for disadvantaged children, our lives are indeed full of heroism.  Today we celebrate these deeds, not as exploits, but as contributions to the greater     good -- circumstances where Marines take care of not just their own, but reach out to care for others.   

 

A lone Marine standing vigil on a dark night in Kosovo; a Marine Reservist serving as a firefighter or police officer who responds to an emergency in his community; a civilian Marine working alongside his counterparts in uniform who shares the perils and realities of a terrorist attack; and a committed spouse who finds the time to serve as an advocate for family programs in addition to making a home and supporting the family -- all are among the heroes of all generations.  We are indebted to them for their example of strength and their presence of character.  They embrace our core values and live them to the fullest.  They inspire us to do the same.   We admire and appreciate their example as we celebrate the birth of our Corps and our rich heritage.  As our motto enjoins us, let us always be faithful, to our God, our country, our Corps and to our families.  Let us also resolve to be always faithful to those Marines who have bestowed upon us our proud legacy of sacrifice, courage, and victory against any foe. 

 

To all Marines, past and present, who uphold the finest traditions of our Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, Happy Birthday and…

 

    Semper Fidelis,       

 

                                                                      J. L. JONES

                                                           General, U.S. Marine Corps

You called him a "drunken derelict" and a "LOONEY tune" and now we are supposed to believe you actually admire him?
What a Spin-meister you are!

When Lynch arrived with the dog yesterday, Tatum promptly muzzled him. "We don't want any more problems," Tatum said as T.J. tried to knock the muzzle off with a paw. "He'll just bounce around for a little while, but he's going to get used to it."

Your still changing the subject. I am talking about you and the way you have expressed and handled yourself on these threads. You expect to be treated better than you treat others. You are not adding to the discussion your defending yourself
