Marine Ping!
alright!
why don’t we bring the troops home to victory parades?
i can hear it now: john phillip sousa...
oh, that’s right! now the left controls patriotism.
no parades. no patriotic music. no happiness. no american flags.
Have relatives serving with the 1st Marines who are based here in San Diego.
Another 1st Marine based at Camp Pendleton with a tour in Iraq is 19 yr old Jimmy McCain, son of the Senator
It’s sad that a lot you say is true but there’s a lot of us here that aren’t lefties.
God bless them all, they’re doing a great job.
Thought I would stick this in here...My guy...
Sen. Cornyn is leading a campaign to protect the right to vote for U.S. military personnel serving overseas. He is working to advance several steps that would significantly improve the process of delivering military absentee ballots to ensure every vote counts. Sen. Cornyn introduced the Military Voting Protection Act in the Senate and is also pressing for administrative solutions. He believes those who defend our freedom and security must be guaranteed democracy’s highest rights and privileges.
This is an important issue. Our military was short changed with the Gore fiasco. The Marxist know they would lose for sure if the military got their votes in.
Always various building going on including Iraqi villages for training.
Haven’t been up to the N. county for a while.
Am near downtown and a few miles from the Marine Corp Recruit Depot and around 15 miles S. of Marimar Marine
Air Station here, Home of the Third Air Wing.
Bump for Sen. Cornyn and thanks for posting. The Gore thing was a huge fiasco and heads should have rolled over it.
It was off the flat area below the bluffs off the coast. The area they often have tents and where the choppers circle overhead over the freeway. I just never thought I'd see a pier jutting out into the water there. I assume it's to load fuel or supplies of some type.
Will see what I can find out and let you know.
Which is why the marines want to take over in Afghan.
They said that last fall.
I expect the MEF to reduce to a MEB this year in Anbar.
Overwatch.
i did not say what you sed i sed.
You’re right, what I wrote was not what I was thinking. Screw the left. we’ll do the celebrating. :)
Now I believe, myself, that the secretary of state, the secretary of defense and you have to make your own decision as to what the president knows: that this war is lost, that the surge is not accomplishing anything," Harry Reid, D-Nev., told reporters.
What a putz.
I believe that could happen.
Haven’t heard any more from Army LtGen Kearney since the IG investigation started on him, if he’s out of the picture I think the Marines will be a lot happier.
Hiya Smooth. Is he ever a putz and a huge whiner, every time I see him speak I have to wonder how he is still the Majority Leader. LOL!
Note:
If the MEF reduces to a MEB.
The 3/101 bde does not plan to have a US replacement, turning over to IA 17th Div.
That is two of the 3 Bdes planned to reduce by end-year...
I expect the third will be from Kirkuk where the IP already is lead in the cities and the IA works the rural areas.
12 combat Bdes in Iraq. To be announced in Sep.
Such a small-minded handwringing excuse for a man with a contrived arrogant attitude to boot will never serve this nation well.
