I don't think you really want to continue with me. First of all, you need to unwad your panties and get into the context of the remarks I made, it was in response to someone pondering that maybe the USA and USMC worked differently in Iraq. I just gave some first hand accounts.
Now if truth bothers you, then you better get out of my face right now because if I wanted to "rag on" the corps, I've got plenty that I can say, like how the PX had to rearrange their stock and post "No Shoplifting" signs up when the USMC replaced the 82nd in Falluja.
You like apples? How about dem appples?
The USMC has a great public relations machine, but I think that if people saw them in operation they'd have to revise thier opinion.
And your attitude toward the US citizens that go to Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, etc. to support the troops and military mission is very telling. You claim to support the troops while 'ragging' on those that do so in person and despite peril. What's up with that?
Truth is, that I think that you're skin is too thin for this type of discussion. Maybe we'd all be better off if you didn't try to make this a personal thing?
This will only get better when the IRaqi's actually step up and do something, no more hiding, no more lies. They know who is doing the violence, assassinations; either step up or get out.
Maybe you'd be better off un-assing this thread. Your "first-hands" are unverifiable, and from the sh1t coming from your mouth, not believable.
What happened at the PX, some grunts steal a Jenna Jameson DVD before you could get to it?
Stuff your GS rating, and your ranting, puke. There are sh1tbirds in every outfit, and I smell one here.
Are you overcompensating for a particularly small piece of skin?
