#1 I imagine this kind of stuff happens every day.

I suppose the MSM finds this sort of story 'boring'.

#2 SGT. Highway, I've heard all about you. And your bullshit heroics.

#4 Perhaps I'm misinterpreting, but Elmeath Sleash8721's post feels like it came from the kind of mind that would burn flags.

If it could coordinate the hands to strike a match.

#6 TW, I think that ES's comment was a reference to the Clint Eastwood movie (Heartbreak Ridge) in which Clint Eastwood plays a Marine gunnery sergeant who had won the CMH with the 23rd Infantry at Heartbreak Ridge in Korea. In the movie, the phrase was uttered by a particularly inept, vicious, and obnoxious company commander. My guess is that ES was trying to be clever as a tribute to the obvious heroism of the Marine lieutenant. But then again, I've been known to be wrong before.

#7 Ahh, he was being subtle, RWV? I'm afraid I'm not very good at that -- I need to be told things directly. If you want me to know you're quoting, you have to use quotation marks and attributions, or I won't get it. I hope you're right; I do hate disliking people on first acquaintance.

Elmeath Sleash8721, if I owe you an apology, then I'm truly sorry. Would you be so kind as to clarify?

#8 I'm with RWV - and the guy played his new CO character as as a real PC prick

#9 Apologies likewise for me. Totally over my head.

#10 Now I gotta go rent the movie Heartbreak Ridge.
One of the great things about being old is that you forget the movies you've seen, and when you see them again, it like the first time.
Not that way for sex, though.

#11 It's rare when someone gets one over on the hard core RBr's. Impressive.

#12 Gotta be honest, I somewhat fell for it, but I knew in the back of my head that Sgt. Highway was in a movie I'd seen...just couldn't place it. Guess I jump to conclusions about how insane the moonbats are in posting here.
