The real treat for me was the whiny Marine, played by Bill Paxton.

Thanks for pointing this out. I’ve even seen a few TV shows where the main actor said Calvary, when talking about a possible rescue from a bad situation. Unbelievable!
To: Popman
One has to wonder what would drive a woman to volunteer for combat specialty training... ? It's all about promotion. Combat tours will get you promoted faster, and female ossifers have been complaining for years that they weren't promoted as fast bec. they couldn't check off the combat box.
Unfortunately, the kind of woman who would pull that stunt is usually a scheming devious character who just wants to punch her ticket. That doesn't hurt too many people in an office somewhere, but in a combat unit it's going to get somebody killed.

Well yeah, but you had to feel a teeny bit for him (teeny) - this was supposed to be his last mission before being out of the service.

there won't be any AMERICA because some foreign soldiery will
invade us and take our women and breed a hardier race!"

Chesty Puller is most decorated U.S. Marine in history. He is also the only Marine to receive five Navy Crosses.

A Few Good Women. If 25% is good, 100% is four times as good.

Oh, yes, the short timer.

That breaks down to men doing the digging, heavy lifting and hauling, and the women holding the clipboards.

Call me a conspiracy nut.......when women start coming home by the score in body bags, the American Public will decide war is not the answer. All part of the plan to destroy this Nation.
