Founded in a bar.... My brother is a retired Master Gunnery Sergeant and has worked for a variety of contractors over in the sandbox since 9/11, he currently works for Kelly Brown and Root.He is the oldest marine on the base, so he was asked to give a speech on this day....I wish I could get a video, but he is working with MARSOC (Marine Raiders) special forces guys, and no filming is allowed anywhere over there...my brother's speech will be on a dear friend of his, that my brother met when he was a young Marine. This guy was a serious badass. historycollection.co/the-marine-who-took-on-thousands-of-japanese-soldiers-in-world-war-ii/3/

We owe them all a debt we can never repay.

We owe them all a debt we can never repay. Agreed about the debt. We can repay every Marine by living up to all the things they fought for and keeping this nation one worth the sacrifice. I am certain that each and everyone of us knows exactly what that includes.

They are the best! They have proved to be pretty dang effective and will suffice until something better comes along. LOL!

Pretty proud of the Marines, but on the linked site the words "gun" and "killed" are obscenities. Kind of hard to talk about Marines without those words. Some people need killing, and the Marines are the best at the job.

Some people need killing, and the Marines are the best at the job. I agree, it was pretty silly. I am sure my brother added a little salt to his speech in that regard...a few days ago reading between the lines It sounded like they came nder attack, he told me that the Specops guys went out and kicked some arse...much better now that the rules of engagement under Bush and Obama are gone...take the leash of the dogs when danger is afoot...to bad it is a novel concept among some people.
