I’d pay good money to see “The Gunny” dress down Congress.

[ConorMacNessa]

I'm on board! Go, Gunny!!!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

Interesting (if useless) bit of trivia: The role of Hartman in FMJ was originally to be played by Tim Colceri, the fellow who played the door gunner on the helicopter flying Joker and Raptorman to the front. Kubrick liked Ermey better (who was brought in originally as a technical advisor) and gave him the SDI role instead.

Also, Anthony Michael Hall was original hired to play the part of Joker.

I’d love for him to address them as “ a room full of worthless maggots”

Loved Gunny until I heard he supports BO on the birth certificate issue. Now he is just another actor who happens to support the military. Who also supports a president who does not support the military.

Regarding active duty birthers questioning the legality of BOs orders.

To quote “I haven’t heard about those guys,” Ermey told Military.com during an Aug. 21 interview. “If I do run across them though, trust me, I’ll square them away.”

“Of Obama, Ermey said he was “a little wary at first” on how he would handle the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not now, though.

“I think our president is doing a commendable job,” he said. “He picked up where George Bush left off. … We’re continuing to take care of the terrorist situation.”

I’m sure Obambi will be in favor of the Marine “corpse” having its own department.

The USMC doesn't need any additional recognition,IMO.It's well understood that,since its birth,its members have been bravely,skillfully and proudly defending our nation.Their "exploits" are the stuff of legend.

But the USMC is,and has been since birth,a part of the Navy.

I don't see a need for this.And yes,I'm prepared to be torn a new one by various Marine Freepers.

[BBell]

Does this mean the Marine Corps will no longer be considered Naval Infantry?

[JouleZ]

“It’s finally time to give the Marine Corps the recognition the branch has long deserved.”

Amen, brother ‘cause the USMC is sick of being tied to that YMCA song “In The Navy”. Go Marines and get it done!

BTW, my husband, dad, uncle and SIL served USMC. My son is a Navy Veteran from Desert Storm so I love them all.

[Lokibob]

IMHO, it does not go far enough. The Marines are not “AND” anything, they are Marines. So we need a Department of Marines.

I will grant you I probably do not know all the ramifications of what I am saying. For example, the Marine Corp may not want a divorce from the navy.

BTW, did you see that Obamby, in a speech called a corpsman a corpse man. And repeated it.

[SmithL]

Everybody knows that the best marine is a submarine!

Ah-Oooga!

[Former War Criminal]

Watching main gates for the Navy since 1775, and haven’t lost one yet.

[SunkenCiv]

R. Lee Ermey is the national spokesman for a growing grassroots effort behind legislation sponsored by Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) and Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) that would rename the Department of the Navy as the Department of the Navy and Marine Corps.

Thanks 444Flyer.

[FTJM]

Does this mean Ann Margret’s not coming?

[USMCPOP]

There will be a press conference today at 3 P.M. I should be speaking just after Sgt. Eddie Wright. Details about the speakers:

Do check out the details on the main page at http://www.marinecause.com/ We could use Freeper support, especially with respect to contacting your Senators.

Semper Fi.

The Marine Corps is a department of the navy—the mens’ department.
