Today, he would have been hauled before a military court for sexual assault. Returning military troops would be herded into auditoriums and forced to listen to mandatory lecture by feminist leaders.

Exactly what I was going to say. If he did that today, this morning, right now we'd be watching Gloria Allred - the female pimp posing as a lawyer - holding a press conference demanding money justice from the military.

Over the years there have been many who claim to be the sailor in the photo ... as well as many who claim to be the women.

Whether he is or isn’t the pictured sailor, I thank him for his service and bid him “fair winds and following seas” for eternity.

This has to be the photo of the century, hands down.

Nah, it'd be OK, as long as it was a homo kiss.

My Mother’s maiden name was McDuffie. It is actually a fairly rare name tho a bunch of names were derived from McDuffie, such as McAfee, McPhee, Mcfie, and a lot of others.

That clan originated on the island of Colonsay in the inner Hebrides.

My wife and I doing our imitation...

The thing that tickled me was the little kid who looked completely puzzled under the statue..."What are they doing?"

I always loved that photo. When I was a kid, I thought it was my mom and dad kissing...:)

“If he did that today, this morning, right now we’d be watching Gloria Allred - “

Or Atty.Wendy Murphy,a despicable human being.

I think it is next to the flag raising on Iwo Jima.

Where was that one taken? I have seen another statue just like that one in a little town in Italy
