There's few things in the world that can't be fixed by the liberal application of duct tape.
Those who say winning isn't everything are the people you want to play against.
My Drill Instructor was there.
That still pisses me off to this day.
I have very little in the tank for Lebanese in the US that think their Country is a decent place. I wish they could have kept Hamas out of there but IMO that Country is out of control and a place I'll never visit in my life time. I grew up with a few Lebanese Families who I considered very nice hard working folks. They have lost their Country forever IMO.
The Day the Marines got hit changed my opinion of that place immediately.
God Bless the Fallen.
I'm bumping this for the 31st anniversary of the attack. This attack was what initially gave me the desire to serve my country. Six weeks after the attack I was enrolled in the delayed entry program, and in August of 1984 I left Oklahoma for four years of jumping out of planes and playing in the woods. And the jungle. And the desert.
I pray their souls rest easy despite the fact that their attackers never received the justice that was promised.

Many have argued that this event is the first in a series of events that led to 9/11...
F@cking Marines weren't even allowed to lock and load...
Semper Fi and R.I.P to my brothers and sisters!
