    RIP

    Twelve more Marines have reported to St. Peters and are now guarding the streets in heaven. Semper Fi.

    Serving in the American military is a serious and very dangerous job even during peace time.

    Just during President Reagan's first year in the White House in 1981, 2,319 soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen either were killed or died on active duty. That's more than the 1,929 American troops who were killed during 2005, the year with the highest casualty rates during the Iraq and Afhgan wars.

    Just during the Clinton administration 7,574 American troops lives were lost while on active duty.

    It's a dangerous job.

    What the (*)(*)(*)(*) has happened to our Corps ??? :sad:

    Look at the three Marines in the photo. Is this Obama's PC Marine Corps ?

    Notice that their blouses (shirts) aren't properly worn or bloused. There should be two creases in the back of the shirt. They are wearing their shirts as if they were civilian clothing.

    We see three PFC's. (E-2) two who have love handles !!! They don't have the physiques of a U.S. Marine but the physiques of Obama's panty waist civilians.

    What the (*)(*)(*)(*) is going on ???

    And look at their butt's. Bugary butts.

    I should add if you didn't notice. look at their shoulders. They aren't the shoulders of a Marine but of a civilian, they are slopping.

    What the (*)(*)(*)(*) has Obama's PC social engineering done to my Corps ?.
