Yeah, the crawfish etouffe' with the sawdust roux was especially tasty.

I will say a prayer for your mom MrPeng .

Check the repeating pattern...the near perfect grammar and spelling now...the name calling...the self righteous indignation... the references to lack of manhood, etc etc., it's happening sooner than I thought.

See it's happening already!

I insulted no one, an insult can only be taken. I am merely trying to discover whether GasMask is who he says he is. While civdiv may think this fellow is a former Marine, I am not convinced, and only time will tell as far as I am concerned. There are just too many similarities in the posting style and content between GasMask and others. You have not been around here long enough to see them, and civdiv,while he joined up quite early in the life of the forum has not been here regularly within the last couple of years to know what I am talking about. I will reserve my judgement, if what I think is true, the self-destructing of GasMask will not be long in coming.If I am totally wrong, then I will apologize and welcome him into the community.

I bet there was some furious study last night, you know, to get some more information on deployments and such...and what it's like to work on all that combat gear.

I'd just like to point out that at least one of you has seen the light. Ok, it might not be the brightest bulb in the box, but still... Anyhow, i've been made a knight by Queen Emma and now i've got support of Seanachai , now, how much more forumpersonalities do i have to harass in order to get some recognition? I mean, how can i not be knight? Me? The one everybody knows ? </font>

With the short barrelled SAW he is either SpecOps or airborne. </font>

It's sturmish. </font>

Gas Mask, honestly and to your face...I don't think you are who you say you are, in fact I suspect that you and Fusilier9 may be the same person, and are having the rest of us on with your little mutual admiration society. The only reason I take any interest in this thread is due to the fact that discussing the subject of the Marine Corps is near and dear to me, and I would hate to see some pretender making a mockery of the sacrifices made by our Soldiers and Marines, as well as the sacrfices made by our allies and friends who have also sent military units into the fray. Please continue this discussion if you like, I think it has run its course.

Its either mis-spelled German or its Dutch, either way it Goober Nation gibberish.

I read somewhere that all Marines are infantrymen first, and even though they might be a clerk or a medic or something they are all trained as infantrymen.

What does a logistics Marine do? Is that like supply? Doesn't seem like a much safer job than an infantryman..you said you got mortared quite often in Iraq. It must be tough leaving your loved ones at home, when you go over there.

I still think that Clint Eastwood looked really spiffy in his dress uniform, with the MOH around his neck. That friggen Major just knew he would never live up to Highway's reputation as a combat Marine. What was your occupational specialty in the Corps, GasMask?

You don't think it was an accurate portrayal of what the Corps was like during the Grenada thing, or did you think the combat scenes were cheesey?

Yeah GasMask I meant to ask you why you thought Heart BREAK Ridge was cheesey...I think Gunny Highway was cool...he was an Old Corps Marine trying to whip some young assholes into shape, at the same time bucking heads with a ticket punching CO, who wanted him out of the Corps, what could be cooler than that I ask?

Hi mom!

One or two I would imagine...I think they are manning the check out counters at the Baghdad PX.

Adults wouldn't be having a silly and pointless argument like this. And akd's our guy with the Iraq pictures. </font>

Happy Birthday Boo , seems like you just had a birthday, wasn't it last year or something?

Because Communist forces were instructed not to attack the "yellow legs" i.e Marines, so they took off the leggings which distinguished them from their US Army comrades.

Joe , check your in box.

Hey we can't close this until someone answers my earlier question.... ...and Joe please spell my name correctly.

We are talking about the newspaper collection drives...not the Tet offensive or Gulf War One. Compared to a ravaging pack of Cub Scouts descending on a community in search of recyclables. The battle of Medina Ridge looks like a teenaged girl's sleep-over party.

Thank you sir...in a few short words you have identified the crux of the matter. I'm still saying that the guy who started this thread has done so with ulterior motives..but your analysis is quite correct if this were a logical and valid debate. So please do not think I am disparaging your remarks.
