You have the dumbest opinion on every subject. Obviously the worst part was the solider using Rob Schneider's "You can doo eet" line from The Waterboy.

Five stars for waking up Feyd from the abyss.

Your boss is an ex marine? I am so sorry, man.

I was the boss of one once. I tried to understand. Those fuckers need to be stop-lossed forever so they can't re-enter normal society.

"Those fuckers need to be stop-lossed forever so they can't re-enter normal society."

wow fuck you.

Yeah, that was pretty brutal. When guys get out of the military, especially during a war, it's pretty hard to adjust. I'm sure they appreciate the understanding.

He's a very fair and understanding man...in the sense that he realizes all too well that working at a retail store isn't the end of the world. He's a good fella, and knows how to get things done. That said, some of the stories I've heard are downright terrifying.

It's really hard to understand when all they wanna talk about is putting bullets through peoples necks but uhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah nice exploding house video dude

I think NineEleven counts as freep-left.

I dunno, one of my best friends is a Marine scout sniper right now, and the thing I noticed was that he seems to have not changed a bit. Still the goofy fun guy he always was. At least on the outside. I haven't pressed him about what he's been though, though he's been in two humvees that have been blown up and states that killing people really isn't cool.

no such thing as an ex marine

Now I see why people hate Marines.

They should be so stop-lossed forever, dude. At least they'd probably like it.

I really can't say one way or the other. But having a Masters in statistics I think i can say this safely.

The US has MANY MANY times more troops over there than any of the Euro militaries. With that in mind, these asses make up a very small percentage of our military. Therefor it is safe to assume that the Euro militaries' presence, given their small size, would have many times fewer incidents.

But that wasn't just one guy with a missile launcher. That was a troop of guys ready for some excitement. Shoulda had a Slim Jim.

garcet, did you really need to get a masters in statistics to make that comment? really now. it's not like you're a bouncer or something.

5 stars for your comment alone.

SPY'S SAPPIN' MY COMMENTS

I am a cylon.

They bring their own alcohol - there was more brand name booze and pork than ever before in Saudi after the Americans came to play.

My brother told me they actually controlled the camera phones and internet messages pretty tightly when he was doing riverboat stuff in Basra. They screened every form of correspondence, so I can only assume that these kinds of approved clips are part of a campaign to generate interest in the war, or that these marines have figured out some way to subvert the military censors.

I'm guessing you can only lock down the phones and cameras and stuff so tightly. If you snap some pics with your camera phone, you can send it to your friends before your XO even knows what you've done.

I'd imagine if you bought a local phone in the market, you could probably do whatever you want with it as long as you didn't get caught.
