Marines Rock
Marines rock. What more can I say? Dad was in the Army, Wife is ex-Navy – as is Father-In-Law – but even they say that if you’re in a “debate”, there’s nothing like a few Marines backing up your side of the argument. Marines have always been the 100% shit-kickers in the armed forces. If you need something done – against all odds and without excuses – you call in the Marines. That’s why they were sent in to landlocked Afghanistan last year, and why they are driving up the Euphrates to clean out Baghdad now.
Mind you, I have the deepest respect for all the armed services and wouldn’t discourage my kids from joining any one of them… But Oliver North is right: Marines simply are the best…
I’m still pissed at journalists as a whole. Of course I just finished Ann Coulter’s book “Slander” which just might have something to do with it. I’ll admit that I bought in to alot of the stuff she rails against, such as the Liberal’s use of the term “Religious Right” as a straw man. If you haven’t picked up this book, do so now. It’s an easy read – well footnoted too just like Chomsky so you can impress your liberal friends.
Today was a good day. Our forces have pushed to the outskirts of Baghdad, three POWs were rescued, and two Iraqi divisions were smashed (note to future dictators: never EVER name military units after ancient Generals which you have zip in common with. Hammurabi was ahead of his time, but it says volumes when your code of justice is more brutal than his).
Of course Fox News is reporting that a Blackhawk has just gone down in Southern Iraq – killing 7. We must mourn their deaths properly, but not until the job is done.
Let’s get ‘em…
