Yeah. They don't teach the difference in J-school. All under the "baby killer" heading, so what's the diff.

It is always a little more humiliating when you make them suck the barrel of your gun like it was a dick.

On-duty ones are awesome, too.

http://www.usatoday.com/story....7476343

The men of 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines arrived in Ramadi in 2004 prepared to support the economy and government of a critical Sunni city in western Iraq.

On April 6 those plans were cast aside when insurgents launched deadly attacks on the Marines throughout the city.

...

Marines fought with insurgents throughout the city in running gun battles that day. By the time the dust settled 12 Marines had been killed in action that day, a devastating loss for a single infantry battalion.

....

But back in 2004 the Pentagon still planned on reducing U.S. forces in Iraq and turning security responsibility over to Iraqis. Washington had yet to realize the size of the insurgency it was facing.

The Magnificent Bastards found out. They fought back hard against the insurgents after the initial April 6 attack, refusing to give an inch. "The next day we ended up killing a hefty number of bad guys," Weiler said.

On the third day, the Marines went around with megaphones, challenging the insurgents to come out and fight. "We ridiculed them and antagonized them and begged them to come out and fight," Weiler said.

There were no takers.

Was surprised to see the Marines being so fun and cocky.

On-duty Marines are badasses, too.

I'm not sure how funny this is if you can't relate.

Darwin? If that is Australia, that was the Marines' favorite port of call. Everybody knew the women loved fucking a Marine because their local men were all assholes and didn't know how to treat a woman.

Yeah, I never got to Australia, but the eagerness of women there to fuck U.S. Marines was well known.

So last week there was a viral video about a dude who was charging a cop, and the cop drew down on him and kept telling him to stop, and the guy wanted the cop to think he had a weapon, and the cop was waiting til the last actual moment to pull the trigger..... and then the guy gave up and didn't have to die.

The cop is an ex Marine. :-D

I said in the other thread that I feel justified in judging cops who roll up and shoot kids in playgrounds, because cops should have their heads on better than regular people. This Marine would agree with me, I bet. And it helps to not be scared to death of guns.

Obviously he's not going by the official cop playbook that all the others were. He'll probably get reprimanded.

That seems to be an actual possibility.

This is a nice slice of ship-life for Marines.

It is supposed to be a parody, but it's actually pretty accurate.

Also, my month on ship mess duty was the worst month of my entire enlistment.

Two Marines stare down an incoming suicide bomb truck while Iraqi police run. This one was posted somewhere for Memorial Day.
