All Marine... all the time
PreVatII sent this my way. Extra cool. And to think I use to get PAID for doin' stuff like this!! It almost seems criminal.... almost.
Then there's this, courtesy of Marine wife and all around swell chick, Kit Brookside, Esq.
Nothing says smart-ass like a 19-year old Marine combat vet. PS, don't run with scissors.
And the next time you hear of the Defeatocrats pissin' an' moanin' about how the Armed Forces is struggling to make it, remind them of the following; (from the Air Force Times)

As an Air Force brat & with all do respect to Cavey's Marines:
ReplyDeleteWAY TO GO AIR FORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Way to go for the rest of the branches also. & this is during a war too boot.
So, explain to me how the majority of Americans are opposed to the war? & that we are losing? This seems to prove just the opposite to me.
This news shocks me! All you ever hear on tv news is negativity about our soldiers. I'm glad to see there are still loyal Americans willing to fight for our freedom.
ReplyDeleteOnly God looks down on a Marine...everyone else looks up.
ReplyDeleteBut thanks to all the young men and women who stepped up to serve their country and continue to put the lie to the libs. As the ancient Greeks used to say, "If you want peace, prepare for war."
HOOAH!
ReplyDeleteTo all who serve proudly....
Freedom is NOT FREE..
Aww shucks, Cavey, thanks for the props...and OOH RAH to the Marines! (And the other branches, of course)
ReplyDeleteKinda tickles me "Code Pink" - they must be in emergency session over this news. ;-)
Nice ad.
ReplyDeleteAfter getting a dated (c. 1950s) book on the Marine Corps from the library for my 3yo (it had nice photos of guns), when asked what a Marine is, he answers, "A fighting machine."
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteYou are obviously raising your boy properly. He is, no doubt, future Marine Corps officer material!
