Semper Fi, wherever, whenever, whatever. Those who try to denigrate stalwart service, who can only nitpick from the comfort of armchairs, can go to hell.

Dang I wanted those KIA pictures to end. Cream of this generation. Semper Fi!

Wish I had a dollar for every time I yelled "Spread out Goddammit". Glad to see that others are still doing the same for the most part.

Sorry, mixed feelings on the film, though of course not of the men. Tough mission.

Damn straight.

Semper Fi.

That these good men died to protect the leeches in D.C. is infuriating.

--myself, i can't let myself look at it that way. It's intolerable --it has to be quickly covered over with images of we the people in Smalltown, USA, going about the doings of normal traditional America. That other, that's a swollen boil that just needs lancing pretty quick.

Rest in Peace Marines. Your sacrifice will always be remembered.

To the living, thank you. Well done.

--talked about below re Gen Puller, Peleliu, Chosin Reservoir. Could have mentioned Hue City. The renowned and celebrated Kubrick film of that battle, Full Metal Jacket fictionalized that battle based on a semi-autobiography written by a company commander in the 1st Marine Division, who some years later died from diabetes, alone, penniless, on a greek island, somewhere near the western warrior ethos birthplace at Thermopylae.

Brave, brave men. Sacrifice is very sad. We have Australian troops there as well, dying I hope for a good cause. Sadly our most recent deaths were fragged by their ANA trainees. I can't see how they can keep on doing that, the loss of trust is a game-changer.

Respect to all members of your armed forces this year, away from home.

That is beautiful music playing over the sad pictures of those heroes at the end. Does anyone know what it is, because Shazam sure doesn't.
