Marines

[Mack2]

In the Walmart parking lot today there were 5 bus loads of Marines and every one of them had been to Iraq and that got me thinking.

Marines are some of the most respectful people on this earth maybe they cuss and get loud but they lay down there lives for us and I think they deserve to be allowed to do those kinds of things even if it coses us a little uncomfort because we would be a whole lot more uncomfortable with out them.

just because your a Marine doesnt mean you cuss and get loud.

Well mabey not, but most of the ones I have been around do. Mabey it's just a NC thing.

Very true on both notes....respectability comes from within and not about who or what you are. I do not think I want my children to think that just because I have the title of "Marine" that it gives me carte blanche to make an ass out of myself....now on that note I have been around plenty of truckers that have filthy mouth as well.

I did 20 years in the Air Force and have the utmost respect for all of our military branches

Never was in the military, they took one look at me and decided that it was probably best to not even get started!!...... but I have spent the better part of 30 yrs. in a part of Texas which has a very heavy military presence. (Mostly Air Force & Army)

I've seen groups of soldiers get a bit boisterous on festive occasions, but as a group, they were never obnoxious, nor did they behave in a manner that would be construed as disrespectful. (oh, I know that you'll always have a few ******* exceptions here or there, but I refuse to judge all of them based upon the foolish actions of a disrespectful few!!)

Don't know about The Marines, but as for The Air Force and The Army, based upon my observations, Honor and Dignity are revered whether they are on base or not, in uniform or in civilian clothing!!

The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps. (Eleanor Roosevelt)

[Taglio]

If you wanna give them comfort, start writing letters to officials to get them home. Scream, cry, call you local talk radio, picket, or whatever you can muster.

[Trucker4Life]

maybe they cuss and get loud

All services do that, however, due to the respect we have for our services, country, self and others, most choose to act respectfully when around the civilian population.

Our military does the job no one wants to do, but everyone wants done.

Moment of Silence for our lost brothers and sisters.

Army-22 years
God Bless

Did 3 years in the USAF, and walked away from a helicopter crash.
God Bless, and thank you to all the military members.

Those Marines dont want to come home until they have accoumplished their mission.........No matter what it takes

I have 2 brothers who were at one time both in the service at the same time one in the Corps and the other in the Air Force. The one in the Marines stayed at the one in the Air Force's base and as a joke the base commader put them up in a hanger the Marines thought they were staying at the Holiday Inn. Of course my ex-Marine brother was force RECON so he was the craziest of the bunch.

"What it will TAKE" is for the Commander in Chief (sic) to make up his mind just WHAT that mission IS!! We'd ALL like to see them accomplish their mission and come home victorious. We just don't have any idea anymore just What the mission is from day to day!

[Mack2]

Please don't turn this into a whether we should be there or not thread if you want one of those start one of your own because this thread is to thank the Marines for what they do.

Don't just thank the jar-heads.... THANK the U.S. ARMY, Navy,Air Force!!!!!

DUTY, HONOR, COUNTRY!!!!!!

God Bless You All.... GOD bring you home soon!!!!!
