Get Some

Being an Air Force guy, I sincerely believe that there’s nothing finer than a well crafted joke made at a Marine’s expense.

But that shouldn’t be confused with the fact that I love Marines.

Here’s just another reason why, from Michael Yon:

Some of our own commanders believe that units who are not “in contact” or fighting here are perhaps not out beating the bushes enough. If there is a criticism of Marines on this, I heard Marines and American Army officers say on many occasions that some of the higher Marine command is stuck in the kinetic mindset, and this is very frustrating for Marines and Soldiers who realize that WHEN NOBODY IS SHOOTING IT MEANS YOU ARE WINNING.

Even though they’re whupping ass over there in Anbar, Marines are getting pissed that they’re running out of targets.

Are these guys great or what?

    In the Marine Corps we take great pride in the fact that “Every man a rifleman!”

    What good is it to have thousands of us just sitting around without targets to shoot?

    We’re in the business of employing virgins, 72 at a time. And we are happiest when business is good.

    I wouldn’t say that I love Marines.

    Respect them? Yes.

    Well, Villaneuve at the Battle of Trafalgar said “Any captain who is not under fire is not at his post!” Some things in warfare never change.
