R. Lee Ermey on Bullying: “The best way to deal with scumbags.”

In this interview he talks about how boys have been neutered and are unable to defend themselves from bullies, among other things.

He was involved in ways beyond that of the celebrity. A great man.

He died April 15 and was burred January 18? Wow, you even have to wait in line to get burred?

Rest In Peace! You will be remembered.

Another great Marine Veteran! I hope he is now in the Heavenly Corps:

Here’s health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we’ve fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.”

He invented a word “grabasstic”.

RIP, Gunny

Father-in-law was buried there 2 years about with full honors..truly an awesome sendoff.

Contrast that with veteran's funerals like one I attended several years ago where Taps is played from an underpowered portable MP3 player.
