You would think you would expect stuff like this by now.

You are so right...

Yeah, no kidding, those guys fighting in Iraq are a punch of pansies; not like the heroes of yesteryear...


All sarcasm aside, don't turn the PC-failings of politicians into some sort of indictment against the military...the mission of the Marine rifle platoon is still to locate, close with, and destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver, and we are doing just that.

Huey, i never meant to imply that our current military was any less rough and tough, just that society and politicians in general are. I think it is an impossibility to be in the business of warfare and not be rough and tough. But when people start suing coffee shops because they burned their tongue on hot coffee or we must limit our freedom of speech because a certain term may be offensive to some or very few people can wrap their head around the concept of personal responsibility, then we have a problem.
Just my $.02. Maybe my viewpoint is skewed because I'm a conservative trapped in the People's Democratic Republic of Kalifornia.

When I was going through GM school back in the day, 4 of my then classmates got orders to the Iowa. Be nice to see it go to a nice home.

I've finally read through the thread. This thread is done.
