Saturday Night Joke
A Marine squad was marching north of Fallujah when they came upon an Iraqi terrorist who was badly injured and unconscious. On the opposite side of the road was an American Marine in a similar but less serious state. The Marine was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the Squad Leader asked the injured Marine what had happened.

The Marine reported, "I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road. I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable, lowlife scum bag who got what he deserved.”

He yelled back, "Barack Obama is a lying, good-for-nothing, left wing Commie who isn't even an American.

So I said, "Osama Bin Laden dresses and acts like a frigid, mean-spirited lesbian!

He retaliated by yelling, "Oh yeah? Well, so does Nancy Pelosi!”

And, there we were, in the middle of the road, shaking hands, when a truck hit us.

16 Marines arrested for human smuggling and drugs.

Sorry, didn't know where else to stick this story.

I saw that story, and was like, "Hmmm, totally not posting that in the bad ass thread" :P

You'd be surprised how many US Marines are actually non-Americans from latin american countries. The USMC is absolutely infiltrated by bad actors.

16 in a single unit is pretty bad, though.

I've read a lot of gang members enter for the weapons and tactical training.

I like seeing the black people in that Twitter feed arguing back and forth about her antics. If a white person interjected themselves, they'd be called "racist" immediately. Not sure how I feel about her dance march.

On one hand, she earned the right to do that little celebration and have some fun on the way out.

On the other, I absolutely get the people saying it's disrespectful to the uniform and even her.

I was somewhat disrespectful on my last day.

But I was also out of uniform at the time.

We need some off-duty Marines at the movie theatre:
https://movieweb.com/joker-movie-mass-s ... -military/
The United States military is warning American troops to be on the lookout for mass shooters at showings of the upcoming Todd Phillips movie Joker....The warning featured tips for how to survive a mass shooting, such as using the "run, hide, fight" strategy. "Run if you can," the notice reads. "If you're stuck, hide (also known as 'sheltering in place'), and stay quiet. If a shooter finds you, fight with whatever you can." An Army spokesman would later state that the warning was issued because they want their troops "to be prepared and diligent on personal safety both inside the workplace and out."
This is the US Army, not the French Army, in case you were wondering.

Good grief.

Last one out, get the lights!

Sigh.

If we ever have another "Charlie Inside the Wire" type of war, we're soooooo fucked.

Close enough
A Colorado teen who helped tackle and disarm a gunman during a school shooting earlier this year has graduated Marine Corps boot camp, where he distinguished himself as platoon honor man.

Brendan Bialy, 18, was one of the students who subdued one of two shooters who entered STEM School Highlands Ranch, in a southern suburb of Denver, in May.

Last month, he crossed the parade deck at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego as his training platoon’s guide. During training, he earned a meritorious promotion to private first class, a program for the ceremony says.
