Branch of service? MOS? Time period you're talking about? And "everyone" you knew? How many is that?

Plain and simple... lots of 18 yr olds see what the Marines are doing in that picture are decide THAT's what they want to do now in life. Of course, the left presumes the guy in the black pajamas was just hangin' out in Fallujah, minding his business, when the bad Marines came by and unjustly...

Dr. Markan, As a former Marine I can answer your question directly. You are bascially correct. Everyone has a different reason for joining, but I never met anyone who joined for financial reasons. Marines join because they want to be a part of the finest fighting force on the Earth. They...

Here's another pearl of journalism from the Tehran Times, from last year: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH :D

If you post an article from an anti-US gov't propaganda machine, at least choose a fairly reputable one, such as CNN. I'm afraid the Tehran Times is just a little too suspicious.

Hmm, which is the best sexually transmitted disease? Well, no cure for herpes, syphillis will kill ya, AIDS is good too... really, any of the three should do the trick.

Sorry to be the one to have the break the news to you... The invasion of Iraq had been planned, and practiced on a large scale every year, since right after the first Gulf War. Yes, even during Clinton times. It's not even a secret. The problem is, most of you weenies have no idea...

What an awesome link! Gee, brings back memories of all those middle school takeover drills we used to do when I was in the service. Ahh, those were the days, stomping on little kids, that's why we all joined, you know. Here's an excerpt from the link: Listeners have sent us dozens of local...
