“Sir, I couldn’t pass out. I was in charge.”

There's a guy who clanks when he walks.

One of my instructors at The Basic School (1968) was a double amputee (legs). I'll never forget him.

Compare this character with the man who said

It depends on what the definition of is is. And:

"A lot of wonderful people love their country and hate the military.

Some guys just aren't into that post-traumatic stess stuff. This guy is a real Marine. That maggot Swofford is just a braindead "Jarhead." Guess which one the Leftwing kooks in Hollyweird make a movie about.

No way. Brass is too soft.

Stainless steel.

Warrior - defined.

Enhglish pilot Douglas Bader lost both legs in an airplane crash in the 1930s. It ended his RAF career, until WWII broke out, when he was allowed to come back as an instructor. Shortly thereafter he got a slot as a combat pilot and became one of the RAF's leading aces. He was shot down over France and set out the last half of the war in a German POW camp.

Just read the whole story. I know the Corps is trying to resist award inflation, but all this guy gets is a Bronze Star?
