So, you're saying that it is the dream of the average Marine to kill a U.S. citizen? Or what? You ramble so, it is difficult to pick out your exact meaning.

FWIW, I expect our fighting men to show "aggression" toward the enemy, but not toward citizens of his own nation. Is that a difficult concept for you? Are you, like, gone over the edge like the grunt in "Full Metal Jacket"?

"Are you, like, gone over the edge like the grunt in "Full Metal Jacket"? "

I'm, LIKE, telling it, LIKE, like it is.
Go play with your Nintendo game, kid.
The Marines will take care of the real thing.

Stand down citizen micromanager.
Interservice bickering is not a peace time only event. It's a source of pride even in the zones.
The enemy will not suffer one bit less because of it.
You've expressed your desire but you speak as one who does not know. You surely insult many to defend an ignorant position.

Oh, please, ILL - Full Metal Jacket was such an unrealistic film, another "America is Bad" movie. Not worth the admission price, like that other hurler, Platoon.
