| #8 #2 "Just a scrape, Yep, scraped two fingers away" old family sawmill joke. Shipman-- Sawmill joke around here (upstate NY): "Cut my finger off." "The whole finger?" "Naw. The one next to it" |

| #6 Awesome. Compare this young US Marine's conduct and deportment in Afghanistan, with John F-himself Kerry's conduct on the battlefield (remembering he would've been the same age at the time) . . . and Kerry wants to be President?! Baw-ha-ha-ha! |

| #4 Despite recommendations from his fellow Marines, Viggiani refused to leave his platoon and seek aid at the battalion landing team's mobile command post. With a small dressing and a few aspirin, Viggiani shouldered his rifle and trudged further into the rugged mountains in pursuit of Taliban and militia fighters. They forgot to add : {{SNARL}} Any retrobate Talibani witnessing these events has got to have a nasty odor, and clump of stuff in the seat of his schmock. This Sergeant is really going to get a reputation now! |

| #1 "It stings a bit, but it's nothing" he says. Wow. I wonder exactly what he got hit with. Ricochet/spent round ? Rock fragments ? I would be amazed if one could get hit with the full force of an AK-47 bullet and still be able to stand. |
