..................and not only THAT, Missy...there's more water than land.

Aha!

Dispute THAT fact. The Navy is by FAR more important.

"and not only THAT, Missy...there's more water than land. "

Alas, BG, I have to agree with you about that....

That's the reason the Marines have to have a water taxi service to get to the action.

"..there's more water than land. The Navy is by FAR more important."

YAWN...typical CA/Navy logic.

FACT: Today's Terrorists/Uglies of the World do not reside on the water.
(Marines, of course, have been known to walk on water, if necessary.)

True, the Navy is sometimes necessary to drive us to the action, but you cannot get one of those huge ships to cruise over the deserts of Iraq or up the mountains in Afghanistan!!

That requires sand-eating, non-complaining determined types like our Devil Dogs to do the hard parts, alongside the Army.

The Navy lazes out there on the Big Water, polishing those Big Guns and weaving baskets or sumpin'..:))

Don't you worry - betcha Uncle TC croons The Marine Corps Hymn to Little Logan already, instead of Anchors Aweigh.....that little guy is in good hands!
