Man, between you and 68Grunt, I'd say the Marine Corp salutation is "F*** You!". HA!

I disagree. I believe you've seen a cordial difference of opinion. A difference, which upon examination, is inconsequential, and perhaps more of misinterpreting positions rather than actual difference. I understand you'd might get a kick outta seeing former Marines at each other's throat, but it ain't gonna happen.

I'd second what 68 Grunt said. Misunderstanding, miscommunication (one of the things I hate about message boards...you don't want to be overly verbose, but if you keep it short, it's harder to clearly get a thought across without misunderstanding) yes...any real animosity...not hardly.

In the end, our stances are probably more similar than different. Additionally, I don't think either of us would question the others loyalty to our country, Corps, or other Americans.

Besides...it is called a "band of brothers". You show me a family of brothers that NEVER had a disagreement, or occasionally a fight even...and I'll show you a family that doesn't care! :)

Not by a long shot!
Even if it were, it was between two Marines who would beat your head in if you said to either one of them.
That's what family is all about!
