I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Only AFTER the meeting, Sergeant Major. Even us jarheads have our sense of decorum. You don't break the chairs before you have to sit in them for 2 hours; otherwise, you stand.

No tat's. They are identifying bodymarks. Besides, I got 2 granddaughters. I got enough crayons to outfit the next war.

Marines have my utmost respect. I will say there were a few Army and Navy guys involved in the Pacific as well....
