Those guys are unbelieveable! Here are a few of "my" guys. They both make me proud to be in the service.

Man a lot of time and energy went into learning such useless things.

Didn't your mother ever tell you that if you can't say anything nice than to keep your piehole shut!

Sorry I'd rather use my engeries leaning things that are actually usefull and have a point, that doesn't equate into a lack of disipline.

You can "lean" on anything you want. But, leaning instead of supporting is indicative of a lack of discipline.

LN, not only discipline, but did you hear the cheering in the crowd, I'd say it was VERY useful.

It was nice to watch but that doesn't make it usefull. People cheer for performers and athletes just as loudly.

Use your energy taking a refresher on 3rd grade spelling.

Pick an exercise, any exercise, you could say the same thing about anything one puts time and energy into....... What is your point?
You did hear that those rifles were sporting fixed bayonets didn't you?
The discipline, precision and timing that these Marines displayed in this exercise were not only entertaining but carries on to be the best that they can be in every aspect of their lives.
When you see Britney or Beyonce doing one of their useless dance steps while singing a song, do you think the same thing? How about Cirque Du Soleil?
No matter where I've traveled or how great the trip was, it's always wonderful to return to my country, The United States of America......... me

It's not my thang, but their precision is outstanding.
Liberal, you could say that about most things you do. Like posting on a messageboard??
