Blame Bush now?

[The Man @ Lunch]

Amen. I am a witness.

Gunny is far from stereotypical of anything other than an intelligent, thinking marine. (which, itself, might be considered a non sequitur in some circles!)

Actually, I think you mean "oxymoron." But I get the point.

Back to the topic, though, I've already stated that there's evidence from numerous sources to at least suggest, if not prove, that the CiC has repeatedly acted in violation of the Constitution. All I've seen from Gunny is a summary dismissal of all of it as baseless. Much as one would expect from a stereotypical marine, but hardly an intelligent, thinking one.

I've seen a lot of speculation but no hard evidence. Suggestion and speculation make for pretty weak prosecution.

So I presume fromn your statement that the stereotypical Marine is not intelligent and does not think ....

You have stated that there is evidence; yet, I SEE none. You criticize me for dismissing your opinion as a matter of fact? Sorry dude, but THAT just ain't the way the game is played.

Nah ... we just mindlessly destroy and kill shit. Hasn't he already made an elitist snob statement that us lowlife enlisted folk don't know what we're talking about?

He should try telling that face to face with a Marine and see if he could walk away afterwards

 

[Gunny]

Tsk tsk ... even YOU think the same thing.

I don't need him face to face. That would be downright unfair what with my ability to mindlessly destroy and kill; especially women, children and crippled old men.

Right here will do. He's made his statement. Now he can back it up.

 

[actsnoblemartin]

excuse me gunny, perhaps I misheard you, but did you just say that marines, mindlessly kill and destroy women, children and old men?.

Are you dense? He was being Fasecious ( can't spell that word). It is what Marine bashers claim all the time. It is why when some moron asks or accuse me of killing babies I reply that killing babies is to hard, they are small and hard to hit, requiring you to close with and bayonet them. Much easier to kill older children women and old people, they are bigger and easier to hit. Plus they tend to panic and do things that make shooting them easier. Then you just let the babies starve, no wasted energy or effort.

Anyone STUPID enough to think Marines do not think or are mindless drones has not got a clue how the military works nor the training and requirements one needs to be successful as a combat Marine. Anyone that thinks enlisted marines are somehow inferior to Commissioned Officers is also ignorant of the modern military.

Marines don't do it mindlessly...that's the Army. Marines think about it first.

It's self depracating, morbid humor.

 

[actsnoblemartin]

Oh, sorry.

[Bullypulpit]

Excerpted from a list of "Armed Services Rules" sent to me by my sister while my brother-in-law was deployed to Iraq...

<blockquote>Marine Corps Rules:

1. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.

2. Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough.

3. Have a plan.

4. Have a back-up plan, because the first one probably won't work.

5. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

6. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber does not start with

a "4."

7. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is
expensive.

8. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral &
diagonal preferred.)

9. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.

10. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.

11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

12. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or
tactics. They will only remember who lived.

13. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating your intention to
shoot...</blockquote>

While these 'rules' were presented as tongue-in-cheek, they seem to be reasonably sound. Rules to live by, so to speak.

And Gunny...Ace Frehley...Oh my. (shaking head in sadness and dismay)

Now I understand why the left wants to bring the troops home from Iraq so badly

They want to put them on trial for war crimes

Libs are still pushing for surrender. Libs never learn from their past mistakes

to which I asked:

any mainstream democrats suggesting we should bring our troops home from Iraq for the purpose of trying them for war crimes?
RSR: as always, unresponsive.

Lets see, your beloved Dems have called them uneducated, terrorists, cold blooded killers, compared them Nazis and Pol Pot

Do I need to, once again, remind you who made those comments?

Look at the bunch who are pushing for surrender

 

[maineman]

so..the answer to my question is: none?

why not just say so?
