Quick Veterans Weekend Scan
Via Surber, at Lucianne: “There are only two life forces that have offered to die for you. Jesus Christ and the American GI.”
Badger’s Forward salutes veterans of Iraq with some of the fruits of their sacrifice. Now, seeing as Badger Six just won’t leave, does that make him not a veteran of that place yet?
Blackfive wishes the United States Marine Corps a Nov. 10 happy birthday, and chimes in with yet another grim reminder of facts on the ground in Iraq: Former insurgents ask US, Iraqi forces to stand off while they kill al-Qaeda. There’s a Veteran’s Day present for you. Almost as good as being greeted with cheers, flowers by the gratefully liberated. No, better.
Mudville allso salutes the Marines.
To be updated. Now, time to powerwalk the dog and the kid.

Happy Birthday Marines (even if they do leave a nice clean ship to go to the filthiest places on earth to play).
My deepest appreciation for every vet to ever stand up for this country.

What did the first man to enlist in the US Marines in 1775 say to the second man to enlist?
“Think this is tough sonny? You should have been in The Old Corps.”

Mike, I’m curious. Do the Seals offer Marines a beer as they come through the door?
