You've got some nerve with Marines on their way to save your ass. I hope that explosion you heard wasn't your freaken cruise ship.

Hiya Ma!

Just so you know (and this is only between us two) when Marines practice these evac drills (and yes They actually run practices complete with helicopters and ships offshore all the time) there are Marines tasked with being "reluctant refugees" who are told to go out of their way to anger the evac teams including verbal threats, excess luggage, and attempted ordering about i.e: "do you know who I am? I'm Senator Soinso, and you will do as I say. "

Honestly I know from my experiances that somehwere out off the coast of Lebanon there is a boatload of Marines that want to get this Evac over and done with more then any civilian on shore, and it is chafing their butts to hurry up and wait.
