#2 That's the conclusion soldiers in the field received. Take a smoke break and watch the dogs and rats eat their leaking brains.

#3 I'm still trying to figure out why the chain of command was even bothered with this one. It really isn't anything outstanding, for a combat zone.

#4 I know guys from GW-1 who killed critically wounded enemy soldiers. It was an unwritten rule, no one took pleasure in it. I wish this guy well. However, he whacked a para-military tater-tot - so who gives a flying fuck. This is really stupid & a waste of time imho. Give the guy a medal and put him back in a tank.

#6 Frank, we got a new saying - anytime something lame is implemented for the sake of sensitivity we say the changes just came down from "PC&A" - "political correctness & appeasement." Some Marines call it "gay rights". Like when they told us we couldn't swear in front of recruits at boot camp. That was called the new "gay rights" rule on swearing. I know someone's gonna get pissed about that phrase.

#8 too bad. The Corps has done an admirable job refusing to kowtow to the PC (esp. during Clinton's era). I've got Miramar MCAS Marines as next door neighbors. Love 'em!

#9 Not to worry lads, they were supposed to tell us we couldn't swear, didn't actually do much to curtail the poor language so many drill instructors work so hard to attain. No Marine worth his salt would try to enforce that lame ass rule anyways.

This latest idiocy goes above and beyond. Sounds like "gay marriage" to me. Shotgun style, and without a pre-nup.

#11 My DI in Basic was 23 yrs old and had served 3 tours in 'Nam. He used to tell me I could not possibly be as innocent as I looked - I was carded at bars til I was about 24. He taught us everything he could - and when he ripped us, it was for cause. I loved the SOB!
