If you want to work for Ford, you pay the union $2k up front.

At least that was what I was told by the wife's family members who work for Ford.

Not to work for Ford. To buy his way into the union to work for Ford. I know someone that paid 500$ for his laborer card to work a shut down at BP. Made around 30,000 for 4 months work. Now he pays 50$ a year plus dues if he works.

Marine steps on an IED, it goes off, and he gets pissed off and still humps his squad 4 miles back to base.

There's no one part of this article I can pull out, the whole thing is awesome.

Former Marine kills a man who cursed at him on his own lawn.

Sounds about right.

If you rob this 72 year old ex Marine, he will chase you and run you down and fucking kill you.

Could a unit of Marines have taken down the entire Roman Empire?

edit - Got to the end, it aint done. And it isn't a logical breakdown of force v force, it is sort of like fan fiction. Reminds me of Turtledove. So you can probably skip it.

Marine gets shot 3 times. Plugs holes with fingers. Calls his woman while waiting to go to hospital.

Wait, new? I drive by that building at least twice a year, figured it'd always been there.

Does that shape have significance?

*edit* Googled it, got it. Would not have gotten that without a big hint.

Well, built in 2006, sorta new.

And the shape is a stylized representation of the raising of the flag on Mt. Suribachi. Very well done, in my opinion.

Ahhh. I got my Redskins seasons tickets in 2006, so that explains it.

Yes, well done.

Jarhead on leave, staying at his parents' house, comes home to find a burglar. "You're about to have a bad day."

Pohle later told deputies that he had gone inside his parents' home and found Christopher Schwanke, 43, in his mom and dad's bedroom.

He's been doing things since he was what, 16 maybe, if I'm being generous with the math? How the fuck long does it take?
