#1 What? After the big firefight we didn't run away? Didn't duck and elect Skeery on a national voice vote? Didn't flip-flop and say Iraq is a mistake? Didn't tuck tail and start demonstrating in favor of universal group hugs? Didn't we even acknowledge we are a decadent and depraved bully and beg forgiveness from our Islamist betters? No?

Heh. Not exactly...

Jarheads:
We'll let you know when we reach our bag limit.

1 MEF rocks - I 'm gonna order some more Head Slick gear for these guys!

#2 Kill 'em all, destroy every last one of 'em. THAT is the "road to peace". Total, complete destruction of the enemy.....THAT is victory.

Fuck john kerry

#3 I like those terse right-to-the-point statements. It reminds me of a filmed statement by the AAF wing commander in WW2 arriving in Tinian from the States.

*takes mike, cameras rolling*

The first elements of the 321st bomber group have now arrived in Tinian. When we do some fightin' we'll do some more talkin'. Thank you.

#6 AAF wing commander in WW2 arriving in Tinian

AP was that Tibbets?
My beloved Dad invaded Tinian with the 4th MD in the tiny little beaches. He was happy, beyond happy it went so well.

Hmmm, I think I remember reading somewhere that it's twice the total number of Muslims in the world, but don't quote me on that...

#9 Shipman---I do not remember the exact number of the bomber group. I was just illustrating a point. Marine historical monograph of the Tinian operation considered it the best amphibious op in the war. The demonstration landing (feint) on Tinian Town had the Japanese completely fooled. Saipan, on the other hand went pretty well, but was a meat grinder.

#10 Yes, it was a deft landing by a Marine Division which was probably at (IMO) it's peak of efficiency.
BTW. Every Holy Roller in the NW Provinces needs to remember the caves of Saipan.

#11 "Those who seek to impede the freedom, prosperity and progress of the Al Anbar residents are being physically challenged."

-i.e.- and those we do not destroy will be left physically challenged.

-You will note in contrast to Army doctrine the Marines will patrol on foot in Fallujah; sounds crazy but the locals will begin to figure out the deal. We won't scurry through their streets in armored vehicles, they'll see us up close and personal. Take a page right outta the small wars manual or what the Brits did in N.Ireland. It will either work to pacify them or a lot of them are going to die.

#12 When they say "bag limit," what's really meant is "fished out" (or extinct).

#13 *** Dumpster ***

What's with posting on all these old stories?

You gonna go back in time and create some pointless legacy that maybe ONE or TWO people will ever read?

This post of yours is MUCH more interesting:

"Jen, only when and if he is ever properly elected will I then be grudgingly obliged to address him as you wish I would. His intentional blurring of the separation between church and state while simultaneously attempting to constitutionalize discrimination gets nothing but scorn from me.

Thank goodness we live in a country where we can disagree on this matter. Please know that you indeed have the privilege to dislike me for what I say, that is entirely your right. Understand one thing though, I don't do this to intentionally anger or offend you or anybody else.

As a proud American I cannot abide the White House's ham-fisted tampering with both the duties of executive office or our beloved constitution. Whatever proper intransigence might be shown for terrorism (as is demanded of all worthy commander in chiefs) still in no way confers any right to enshrine religious commandment as constitutional law, especially not in a nation wholly founded upon secular ideals. This is what he's attempting and my own ethicality demands that I consider it to be nothing less than malfeasance of office. Hence my scorn."

Oh, Dumpster, you're a treasure.

What a load of juicy bullshit.

He IS the duly elected President of the United States, fucktard. Proof that all else you may say is at the very least suspect, if not outright total fucking bullshit.
You're full of shit.

Your notion that he is "constitutionalizing discrimination" is truly insane. Proof?
You're full of shit.

You provide no proof of any "ham-fisted" actions - or anything even remotely associated.
You're full of shit.

As an atheist, I know he has not done anything that hasn't been done before for the last 30 years to "enshrine religious commandment as constitutional law". I most certainly would've noticed.
You're full of shit.

The phrase "my own ethicality demands that I consider it to be nothing less than malfeasance of office" is so utterly asinine and disingenuous as to be breathtaking. You couldn't prove any aspect of that charge if your worthless life depended upon it.
You're full of shit.

It is clear that you're one thoroughly conflicted and fucked up induhvidual - and given your comments, so anti-Bush that you'd remove him from office if you could. You obviously think President Gore is being denied his constitutional rights. You're fucking insane. It is not unreasonable to presume you will vote against Bush, therefore, so you are in league with the enemy - there is no sane RBer who could possibly
believe Skeery would be worth warm spit in the Wot - your pathetic little aside about Commanders in Chief notwithstanding.
You are unbelievably amazingly self-defeatingly massively full of shit.

You're a troll.
