Once again, the illustrious Anonymous said...
Hey guu-nny, you should use spell check when you write... It's not "esprit de corpse," it's "esprit de corps" which means "A common spirit of comradeship, enthusiasm, and devotion to a cause among the members of a group"... Obviously, your lack thereof, is what makes you obnoxious, arrogant, and without direction... Do you really think you are the elite... USMC???? Remember, we (U.S. Military and Coalition of the Willing) are all in this fight together... You (USMC) are the most whinners... Well, maybe after the "Air Force"... Why did you said all those things about the "Army"???? It's not true, and you know that... You "Jarheads," always think that you are the best... We have been in the fight more than you do... Look at the history books... Oh, I'm sorry, maybe that's the problem... You didn't finished past High School... Anyways, don't throw dirt to the eyes of those who bail you out every time you are in a tight corner... Fight with honor, not by writing weakening statements against the U.S. Army... Army of One, all the way...
How come people always pick on the spelling when they have nothing else to say but complain? YOU NEED TO SPELL CHECK, YOU’RE IGNORANT!!! Give me a break. I think I mentioned it in my first entry, that I would spell stuff incorrectly from time to time, and if anonymous didn’t like it, then turn the page. So please, before go away mad, just go away. But since that’s not going to happen, and people need to vent, then I can choose to respond. Seems fair, doesn’t it? Because it’s my blog, and I can say what I want, for the most part. Ahh, the splendor of the democratic system.
First things first, I forgot the E. OMFG, I am cursed for life!!! Somebody call my probation officer!!! I committed one of the seven deadly sins!!! Is there a priest nearby, I need to confess!!
Get a life my friend.
Next, do I really think I am the elite? Well, I don’t spout that jargon, but, maybe the people from the 507th might. Sorry, had to throw that one in there. I know it’s not fair. Maybe there is a reason that the Marines were given the task of capturing Baghdad, even though we were not the first units in the area. Maybe there is a reason that the war waited for us to move up the Tigris/Euphrates valley and get in position to assault the city, while the army waited outside the suburbs. But I am not going to get into that, its all history and this is a US armed forces effort. My hats off to everybody who has participated, will participate, or will participate and doesn’t know it yet.
I am trying with all my might to not blast Anonymous, but its gets harder to do by the minute. Sure, I might have spelled a word wrong, but where did you learn English? You (USMC) are the most whinners Not sure what that means at all. Why did you said all those things about the "Army I didn’t said anything about the Army as a whole, I was referring to the groups that I work with, who are mostly Army. We have been in the fight more than you do. You didn't finished past High School. I submit that I did finished past High School, where I was present for the grammar portions. You sort of sound like you are still in High School. I find it very difficult to believe that grown adults can’t seem to compile simple sentences; just like the simple ones you chose to use. I do not know if you were there, but you should go back. As far as being in the fight more than you do? Do what? Maybe you have been in the fight more that we have, (that would be the proper form) but then, that wasn’t my comment, and it probably isn’t true in your case, and it really doesn’t strike me as something boastful anyway. Oh, sorry, that was a multi-syllabic word. Didn’t mean to insult you.
Anyways, don't throw dirt to the eyes of those who bail you out every time you are in a tight corner So, somebody got a name for that tight corner? Can’t be sure, but I think your talking about FANTASY LAND. I don’t recall any one specific instance where a Marine unit had to be bailed out by an army unit. I am sure there might have been one, its quite possible that it has happened recently. But there is a difference between bailing somebody out, and assisting in an operation. In this area, we have plan for the Army to provide some air support and fire support. That’s obvious, because there is no Marine unit here to provide similar support that we would normally get. But, again, I don’t recall the last time the Marines asked for a bailout. So, you said it, please provide some kind of historical support. That’s all I ask. Now, don’t cheat and have to go back to WW2 or something. Any instance in the past 2 years would suffice. If you can do that, then I will give you all the credit you deserve. But it won’t amount to a lot, so please leave your ridiculous comments on the FOX NEWS blog where they belong. You might even get it put on TV. Won’t that be nice?
But I forgot, you’re an Army of One, so nobody will see it but you…

Dude, you did NOT just quote Motley Crue, did you? "(don't) go away mad, just go away" Oh man, I think so you. :)
Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed your post. I do think it's kind of funny that Anonymous was ragging on you for your spelling, when his grammer was ATROCIOUS. Ahhh, irony, how we love thee.
Glad to see you're still (relatively) safe and sound. Keep on posting! It's always an entertaining read.
Mike
It's funny, but I caught the same grammar errors as I was reading (not to mention the misspell of whiners...i think that's what he was going for) yikes.
Great post as usual. Man... such sensitive people read this and react. I get such a kick out of it.
Glad to see you're safe and yes... spare me the man's perspective on pregnancy. I'll get that from Mike although, poor guy, he'll hear a lot more out of me.
HOW JOHN WAYNE SAVED THE MARINES
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler
Thursday, 26 May 2005
Today is John Wayne’s 98th birthday. He was born on May 26, 1907 in Winterset, Iowa, weighing 13 pounds. His birthplace is a museum, and a few years ago I took my son Brandon to visit it. There was a guest book, opened to a page with the entry, in the entrant’s handwriting, Name: Ronald Reagan. Address: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington DC.
To celebrate the birthday of a truly great American, let me tell you how John Wayne saved the Marine Corps. In the aftermath of World War II, the psychological letdown after years of war and bloodshed, the huge demobilization of servicemen, the desire to slash military spending, and the antipathy towards the military by left-wingers in the Democrat Party all combined in a call by a number of Senators and Congressmen to abolish the Marine Corps.
In this, they were supported by the Doolittle Board, created by the Truman Administration, which called for the Marine Corps to be “disbanded” as a separate military force, and “unified” with the Army (yes, the board was headed by an Army general, Jimmy Doolittle).
A group of enterprising Marines - you can always depend on Marines to be enterprising - with Hollywood connections thought a movie made around the most famous photograph of World War II, Joe Rosenthal’s of the Marines raising the flag on Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima, could help sway public opinion against their disbandment.
They approached legendary director Allan Dwan, who agreed to commission a script. The movie was to be called “The Sands of Iwo Jima,” and everybody agreed there was only one man who could play the lead role of Sergeant Stryker: John Wayne.
To their great surprise, Wayne turned it down. He didn’t like the script, and he wasn’t enamored of the character of Stryker. The Marines came to the rescue again. The Marine Corps Commandant, General Clifton B. Cates, got on an airplane and flew from Washington to California to personally request Wayne make the picture. When General Cates explained the stakes involved - the very existence of the Marine Corps - Wayne immediately changed his mind, promising the general he would do everything in his power to have the movie be a success.
The Sands of Iwo Jima was released in 1949 and quickly became a runaway blockbuster, with millions of moviegoers packing every theatre showing it. Wayne was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar, establishing him as Hollywood’s Number One box-office star. The Doolittle Board folded its tent, and no politician on Capitol Hill ever again said a word about disbanding the Marines.
So let’s all say “Semper Fi” to the memory of John Wayne.
Mr. Gunny... I hope you have a shrine of John Wayne in your room....
In our persuit of our meager day to day existance or just doing our jobs we tend to forget that in each branch of the service we are programmed from the very start to think we are the best of the best.
To the Marines - Good work.
To the Army - Good work.
To the Navy - Launch some cruise Missles.
To the Navy (sneaky bastard)Subs - launch a polaris.
To the airforce - Keep em flyin Laser guided does the trick.
To GW & RummyDummy - Kiss my ass
To those of us that have forgotten how to spell - Its Bill Gates fault - no spell or grammer check in the Blog.
