If you and your military buddies want to wear wife beaters and bump chests, pour beer on each other's head and light fires under each other's asses with lighters, compare badly drawn naked girl and tiger tattoos, talk about how

much foreign twat you got overseas (making LT look like a saint in the process), go down to your local watering hole and do it with a bouncer at the door.

Here, you'll get a nice, fat spoonful of castor oil (reality) shoved down your gullet in a hurry when you start talking about bullets flying in my direction.

Have a good one!

Dude you are retarded. You got mad because you arent smart enough to understand what he was saying by "if you dont back our troops, feel free to stand in front of them"....how big of a moron do you have to be to think that means our troops want to shoot you? scalabrine big? Yes.

I like how you have seen Platoon and Full metal jacket and now you know about what happens at war. ApacheM just told a story of how men went through similar ordeals and had a special connection. Then you turned it into your chance to tell everyone what you think. Thats good form . The story isnt even about war, but you cant seem to let people that are better than you be....This country and the idea of "war" is nothing like it was pre 1970....Now its whiny bitches like you with no pride in yourself or this country....

I like how you think you give a dose of reality.

Heres a dose for you....that piece of shit you see in the mirror every morning is fucking worthless.

i can t match the story above----- but i was down to west virgina mine academy a few years back taking a mine saftey course. as a canadian miner we go down each year for training------later on during the week we were hiting the stores and bars, while we were coming out of this mall one day there were these veterans having a tag day, or pin day they had both-----on there table i could see mostly change sprinkle with some one dollars bills----as i put my dollar down the veteran said thank you son-----i asked him where he serve and he told me vietnam without hesitation i put an other $20 on the table------the man stood up and it was only then that i notice that his arm was cut off just below the elbow-he came over to me and put an americain flag pin on me and said thanks for the respect-------i kept that pin and when ever i go to any special occasion i always wear that pin.

Keep talking about how I can't make it in the real world. It's people in the real world who PAY FOR ALL the salaries and benefits of soldiers right down to the shoelaces on their spit-shined boots. Unfortunately, if you're in the military, my tax dollars also subsidize your out-of-control vibrator use in your top bunk as you read your favorite "rent boy" magazines.  

I do respect your father for his service. BTW,I've earned what I have with 45yrs of work. But I'm glad that the during my time in helping protect this country the public taxes didn't allow us to run out of ammo.

One last thing, I remember when all I thought about and lived for was Friday Night as you and your buddies do today.

This thread was not intended to stir up any crap, you brought that on. THX for nothing!!!

Some great stories in this thread.

Only to have it hijacked by a couple of clowns. There was nothing political about the first post. You kids need to show respect, and stop typing in this thread.

No need to re-read, I understand completely, you are still a BLITHERING IDOIT!

I hope rats gnaw off your genitals.....so long as it doesn't hurt the rats.

ooh fucking rah,

Apache ... Semper Fi, my friend.

Scalibrine, the group of words that have your panties bunched is actually an old expression. When saying ..."stand behind or stand in front" is not a threat, nor does it mean you would be shot. It simply means that if you don't support the troops and the liberties that they have provided our great country through our glorious history, then perhaps you should get off your ass and provide those liberties yourself.

For you to take such a warm, heartfelt story (albeit, imo a fictional one) says a lot about the person that you are. It's a nice story, simply enjoy it.

You have no idea why they were shooting the dog?  Of course you don't, you just judge by the snippet of the video that you see.  Those boys are sleeping on the dirt with fear of being shot everyday, while you sit on your computer and badmouth them.  You call out those who defend every one of our soldiers, but I have yet to see you ever support ANY of them.  You disgust me.

So you took a nice little story and used it to further your cause of rallying against our troops. Interesting.

I'll point out that there are a few bad apples in every walk of life. There are bad Marines, Cops, Teachers, Gamblers, Whites, Blacks, person, Muslims and Christians.

As soon as anyone says something positive against a group which you have a problem with, you start ranting. Kinda reminds me of Hitler.

Although, your views are shared by a few others on this site ... the difference is that their hatred is towards Cops.

To hate a group of people due to their color, religion, or profession is painfully ignorant. 

Anyway, you have the right to your opinion, and the right to express it here on Covers ... our Marines, and others who have served before us have seen to that. Enjoy it, Scalabrine!
