There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works.
I'm too pissed to respond to this B.S.. I'm retired Army but, the US Marine Corps were part of our fighting and winning team. They helped me a lot when I needed help I'd stand beside a Marine in a fight any day and I wouldn't worry about who was covering my back. To use a Merl Haggard title, "you're walking on the fighting side of me" when you low ball the U.S Marine Corp! And that you can take to the bank! Nick

They will find the streets are guarded by Unites States Marines!

I have to say the latest batch of Marines was a good batch. I only ran across a hand full of egg sucking dogs who needed to be broken on a wheel and drummed out of the Corps. I supported the Marines out of Camp Dwyer by repairing their tower mounted camera systems out in the injun country back in 2012. They were always glad to see me and to give a lift to whatever patrol base that had a down camera. I always received more than my share of sirs and thank yous. Of course many were given by me. I was sent to FOB with ten satelite PBs. One had a system down for six weeks and three other FSRs had been out there and did not fix the problem. To get to this PB we had to go the long way since it was the only way. Well the convoy had to stop at a wide spot in the road that had a dozen or so mud houses. The reason? An IED. EOD was called and they cleaned it up.
So we roll into the PB and the Gunny and the Captain were not too enthused about me being there since the other three losers did not fix the system and one of their guys caught a bullet in the shoulder and died that morning. I gave them the in-brief and set to work. I had the system up in an hour just in time for sunset. It is amazing the things you can see in IR.
The Captain and the Gunny were pleased to say the least and I did not want for any thing when I showed up on later visits.
Say and joke what you want about the Marine Corp of the past but like I said the current batch is a good bunch of young men.

CJ, thanks for the kind words about the Marines. I did not serve, but my oldest son reports to Parris Island in August. He is 17, and graduates in June. I have to give him credit, he works hard at school and at a part time job. When he is not doing either of those, twice a week he trains with the other recruits. From what I have seen so far, they do seem like a fine group.
So, Fall, 1968, the coastie reports to Newport, R.I. Navy Base for training.
His uniform is a mess that only air travel can achive.
The Marine guard is giving the Navy swabbies hell.
Demerit this, report this to your command.
The coastie shows his travel/report papers.
The Marine Clp. checks the shoes-scuffed-, the Donald Duck cap-black mark on cover, the askew tie, the small tear in the sleeve of the blue pullover,the duffel and awol bags, slutes and says: "Welcome aboard, Coastie!"
And right then, I learned to love the Marine Corps!
