Happy Birthday, And Semper Fi

I had never realized that the anniversary of the founding of the Marines was the day before Armistice Day. It's been two hundred thirty one years. They're older than the nation itself--there's never been a US of A without them.

Simberg is very proud of the sacrifices of the
Armed Services, he'll never miss a chance to salute
the men and women who march off over the horizon
while he stays safe at home.

Rand,

Do you have a parrot in here or something? I keep hearing the same mindless drivel repeated ad nauseum here.

Perhaps it should be e-euthanized if it can't increase its vocabulary.

Perhaps you should be given a 1 way ticket to china, or northern india, or pakistan, or afganistan or iraq, we should give you a well armored translator able to say that You are the only one speaking as you think is "brave"

How brave will your ass bee in a nation that doesn't protect you in the way that the US does.

Dude,

What the phuck are you talking about?

I think you need to read the ENTIRE thread before you respond to a single posting.

Or are you defending our anonymous coward?
