I feel an "I told ya so" coming on.....

[ChildOfThe60s]

He knows.

He passed away 2 years ago this month.

On his birthday a year after he died, my step brother and I shared his favorite beer in his favorite college mugs, at his grave.

I'm sure he was with us.

[ariamne]

The reins AND the reign!

Equestrinally yours,

OOH RAH

[kingattax]

amen brother

[Grandma Pam]

Hey PD, I think I remember you saying this was going to happen!

[kingattax]

Pace is a Catholic to boot.

[jimfree]

It's time for a Marine. And certainly with the current mix of forces in Iraq the next chairman had to be either Army or Marine Corps. Good news.

[Clemenza]

As long as the Marine isn't Gomer Pyle or the Marine from American Beauty, I'm OK with it.

[Txsleuth]

Exactly---How in the world will this guy get confirmed when the dems could prolly find thousands of Marines that could swear that he raised his voice and yelled at them---

[eureka!]

Re#42 My condolences. Sounds though that you and your brother sent him off well. Take care out there....

[ChildOfThe60s]

He has to have a certificate showing he completed 8 credit hours of PW-101 at a major women's college in the northeast or left coast.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Some democRATic turd will surely ask him about the following during his confirmation hearing.

Speed raises "the possibility of catastrophic success," said Marine General Peter Pace, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which is roughly what Franks achieved.

[kingattax]

without a doubt.....that will be included in a never-ending series of irrelevant and utterly ridiculous questions.

[Bombardier]

A Marine!!?? Oh, no. I hear they swear and shout at subordinates....

We did that in the Air Force, too.....and I think the Army might, as well....seems to be a fine military tradition that I can live with :^D

[Txsleuth]

Oh, well, too bad--- I am sure that Pace would have been a great JC Chair otherwise....

[Little_shoe]

Know I recognize him... I met him at a Mess night when I was at the Naval Academy. He was the guest speaker....

[Eagle Eye]

Generally speaking, the USMC is ever bit as good as the Army and don't let anyone tell you different!

Know why Marines have T.G.I.F on the sides of their boots?

Toes Go In First

[txradioguy]

"After all these years not one Marine general has gotten this job?!"

No not one single Marine. Probably has to do with the fact the're not their own independent branch of the Armed Services...they are still part of the Department of The Navy...albeit the MENS Department! LOL!
