Some men are born to be Marines. I’ll bet he was a Roman general in his previous life.

Imagine what the sniper is thinking...”I shot that marine in the head and he’s still alive...those guys must be bulletproof!”

Awesome. Biggest smile I’ve had all day. Sounds like a Marine alright.

First of all, thank God he's (apparently) okay.
But then I think, these are the types of guys that stand in harms way virtually every hour of every day so we can live peaceably in a very messed up world.
The day can't come soon enough where we have a CIC who'll give due respect and consideration to these brave ones.

His Kevlar helmet prevented the round from penetrating his skull.Yes, way too cool; I read an article here recently where a new combat helmet has been developed and field tested and stopped a 7.62mm AK-47 round at 10 feet!!
Wow!!

God....I miss Bush terribly...How different he was with the troops and their families, I will never forget when he went over and surprised them at Thanksgiving!
What a different response Bush got from the troops, than this A...h... gets whenever he is with them, which is usually from a podium with them looking like they can’t wait till he leaves!
CAN WE PUHLEEEZ GET RID OF THIS JERK IN THE WH!!!!!

From your tag line:
Where is the Great Santini NOW when we need him? I think he lives out near Middleburg someplace. If I ever run into him I hope I have the presence of mind to say, "By the way, I admire your pictures very much".
I like the Teufelhunde moniker, but I've read that it may be apocryphal.
We have snack cakes around here in the supermarket that are said to be full of fat and sugar and everything else you're supposed to avoid, and go by the name of 'Devil Dogs'. I wonder what it would take to get their marketing department to adopt the slogan, "Come on you sonsofbitches! Do you want to live forever?".

Actually, no, the Germans didn,t. It was a reporter who made it up, it made it by the censors as a favor to the wounded reporter. The reporter screwed up the German plural.

The Marines should have raised “Maggies Drawers”!

Oh...and may the Taliban maggot who shot at him find himself on the receiving end soon.
