I got everything -- including his Harley. That case made my year.  |
Amen, brother! Love it when a plan comes together!!

Nothing like a self inflicted claymore blast to the face.... with an assist from the family.
Why aren't people proud of their accomplishments these days?
Why does everyone have to inflate their ego and become John Wayne? Oh wait, these young kids have no idea what a real American Icon Film role model is.
Maybe we should bring back the draft, and have a compulsory 2-year service for all citizens (male and female). Then at least these posers would have been in the military at one point.
The draft could come back at some point. I wrote a paper for college in regards to it, and how it would be ironic if President Obama were to re-institute it.
Maybe we could have the Stolen Valor act changed so that if you impersonate a Soldier, Airman, Marine, or Sailor, we can give you a military trial. With hard time at Leavenworth, cleaning bedpans at a VA hospital, and/or the Firing Squad as sentences.

Baby Blue Marine
A 1976 movie entitled Baby Blue Marine tells the storey of A WWII Marine.
A would-be Marine fails basic training, and is sent home wearing the "baby blue" fatigues of a washout. En route, he is mugged by a battle-fatigued Marine Raider, who leaves him to hitch-hike home in an undeserved hero's uniform. A small Colorado town takes him in, treating him like the hero he appears to be.

You think your taxes are high now? Compulsory service doesn't come cheap! Israel only implements it because her survival depends on it.
