Let me get this straight.

Are you insinuating that Marines don't venerate President Bill Clinton?

[stylin_geek]

Nothing implied, insinuated, or otherwise hinted at. He comes right out and makes it very plain.

I don't know if you are aware of the tradition of having the Pres over to the Marine barracks that protect the White House. The tradition is the pres buys the drinks for the officers. Clinton was sent the bill, but he never paid it the whole time he was in office. Heard this from a Marine Colonel, and believe it to be true.

Posted this on another thread:

You know, at Bill's second Innaugrial, I am listening to the radio account, and the Marine Corps band kicks in with a John Phillip Sousa march as Bill comes in.

And the music, dear God, is the Monty Python theme!

I still laugh at that. Some fellow, some bandleader, slipped one in on the President, that hollow suit that mistreated the military and sneered at them with scorn. Hey, they said pick a Sousa march!

Given the chance, I suspect that Marines would just love to "ventillate" him on the end of fixed bayonets!

[sheik yerbouty]

Of course. They paeon him!
