You were a marine? They must have upped their standards substantially since then. Of course, Lee Harvey was a marine as well.... "You kow this kind of thing bothers me. When I lived in Denver I knew an ex Army guy. This guy in the 80s was still messed up in the mind from being in country when I was. He never forgot about Nam and he was a heavy drinker and a lot of mouth but everyone knew he was just that and the booze did the talking. Other than mouth he was nothing but a poor guy who needed serious mental help he never got. Well a couple of these "new" Marine would frequent the same bar and decided to jump this guy in the parking lot one night. A poor soul who had mental problems and they beat the crap out of him for no reason. the poor guy was in the hosptal for weeks and for a while it was touch and go for him. When he got out he was still mental but now has physical problems to go along with it and bad eyes to boot. When I happened across these "brave" Marines I had a few words with them about the incident. Of course they now were full of themselves and decided to try something like that with me. At the time I was always packed and I had a little surprise for them. I instructed them that they should watch who and when they do things like that and that not all Viet vets had those type of problems but some of us had problems not popping a cap on some other people. They were never seen again. Sort of like the "brave" soul throwing the puppy off the cliff. Not much of a mna if you ask me. And I sometimes see Marines doing things like this and it really disturbes me. Sort of like the movie "A Few Good Men" When the corporal says we are there to protect those who need it. Anyone who has been in the ** knows we do things that we would never do in the World or be expected to do but I always thought Marines had a code to live by. At least I did and the proud Marines I served with did. Men of honor know when to draw the line and when to live by their code both as a Marine and as a man." leatherneck.com Which type of Marine are you? My partner is a Marine and he is also a stand up guy, extremely loyal and as good a friend as I've had. He also recognizes b*hit wars when he sees them.
