Oh, I see. So in this time of trouble and turmoil, when Americans of every political persuasion are coming together for the common good, YOUR primary concern is that "eveyone in America" knows that Clinton was a Commie.
Oh, and that would be the America that voted for him twice, and nearly voted for him a third time, by proxy, in the person of Algore.
IOW, you think that after 8 1/2 years, Americans are finally gonna "get it" because some of the Marines' boosters (that would be yourself) want to continue a pointless p*ssing contest with the other branches of the service.
If you're haven't yet reached adulthood, please forgive what I'm about to say. But you are an adolescent moron.
We have far more at stake here than your endorphin levels. We happen to be at war, and it will take every man-jack of us--even a hyper-extenuated teenager like yourself--to pull through this thing.
And if you're trying to convince ME that our other SpecOps assets are without any merit, and ONLY the USMC can save the day, then you've failed. I happen to respect and admire ALL of our highly-trained and highly-motivated fighting men, the Marines not least of all.
Go back to your comic books. The adults have work to do.
The people in this country who need to grow up are the ones who think we can have Congress mandate handicapped access battlefields or that calling the nearest female a "naval aviator" makes her one.
And if SMEDLEYBUTLER will accept the salute from a cousin ... Semper Fi.
Junior, we Gyrenes don't give an airborne sex act what you believe!
People like you couldn't last the first day of boot, much less a firefight.
There are some real heroes on this forum, and a lot of them are my fellow Marines.
When you step on one of their toes you step on mine and all the rest of us, and I assure you, you don't want to do that!
There has always been a rivalry between the services and there always will be. It's part of the life of being military.
Try a hitch in the Corps before you start evaluating any part of our psyche.
Gawd, you do know how to make an ass of yourself.
If asked I would be honored to serve. It is wrong to keep men out of this just because they are no longer young.
Here on this forum, you try to come across as some bad a** who likes to call Marines little pissants. Why don't you step into a bar in Jacksonville, NC, and try that there.
The beauty of the internet for some is that they can say things that they would not dare say face to face.
