"corpse men"

What an otherwise rambling, and incoherent speech.

"On October 23,1983 two suicide truck bombers attacked the Marine Barracks in Beirut. 241 American troops were killed during that attack. Among the dead were 15 Navy Corpsmen.

These “Devil Docs”were not killed in the heat of battle. Their stories don’t ring out in the history books with accounts of them crawling under live fire to save a fellow Marine. Their deaths were not in vain.

They died doing their duty as Navy Corpsmen.

Going about their daily rounds,checking on their men.

Perhaps even sitting on a bunk listening to a fellow Marine and talking of home.

None of them will be considered for a “MEDAL OF HONOR” and their names will not go down in the history books but they all died as heroes. They were doing what all FMF Corpsmen do. They were doing their job. Abiding by the oath that we all took in Corpsman School.

I SOLEMNLY PLEDGE MYSELF BEFORE GOD AND THESE WITNESSES TO PRACTICE FAITHFULLY ALL OF MY DUTIES AS A MEMBER OF THE HOSPITAL CORPS.

These men all died as “Heroes”in my opinion and gave their lives doing their duty.

They will not be forgotten."

It is true see post # 19.

How right you are.

I could only stomach about 3 minutes of his remarks. Obama was clearly uncomfortable/out of his element with this audience.

“...Reaching up to his own bleeding wounds, the Marine wrote on the back of the Corpsman’s bullet riddled shirt,

“WHERE ANGELS AND MARINES FEAR TO TREAD, THERE YOU’LL FIND A CORPSMAN DEAD.”

This was that dying Marine’s final tribute to his shipmate’s supreme sacrifice in fulfilling his oath, “TO AID THE WOUNDED, IN THEIR MOMENT OF NEED.”

Play the whole thing once on mute and do other things and then go back and slide it to about 7:32.

I understand Obama has never served in the military but isn’t it common sense to non-Navy that it is pronounced Core Man? Atleast a CIC’s basic protocol of understanding?

Have you heard one member of the press call him out on this egregious slip?!

Come to think of it, maybe Obama pronounces the USMC as the Marine “Corpse”. That’s how Gomer Pyle pronounced it. :) he, he
