AS a former Marine, I must disagree with your use of this picture ..... So please, although I understand the sentiment, please refrain from the degradation of those professionals...the few, the proud...the Marines.

Click here. Scroll and read the other comments. Just fyi.

So please, although I understand the sentiment......it doesn't make it right. The original picture to Michael Moore was justified as it was in response to an anti-Bush, anti-freedom loving, anti-military propoganda film that painted our US military in a bad light. And now you are doing the same by modifying the original and applying it to Whoopi Goldberg who said absolutely nothing about the military. Her personal attack was against George Bush, but you are applying it to the Marine Corps. Although many, including me, might agree with the thought involved, it does not make it right. Pretty soon, another supposed "(un)official spokesperson" for the Marines will be applying the cardboard sign to Hillary, Bill Clinton and many others who disagree or are trying to hamper our efforts. However, the original sentiment towards Michael Moore will be lost and other the modified pics will not represent an official viewpoint of the Marines in general, or the Marines pictured here.

And I would ask you to dialogue with me, since I am the one who discussed your post, and not rely on the responses of others as justification. Just because many agree here (as well as I) with the sentiment of the picture, it does not make it right. Semper Fi
