I have known, and been with dozens of people like that over thirty years in uniform. And if you think using the squid name calling makes you special. I will agree. Special, like many of the Grunts I also escorted to JAG offices in Norfolk, and accompanied to their Summary C.M.'s.
So you have rendered yourself UNQUALIFIED to receive any more Semper Fi's, and I feel sorry for those around you whom you have managed to convince...you are something you have never been.
The Word Honor comes to mind. But I'll reserve that until an Honest Man steps forward.
You don't respect me anymore because I don't agree with you being a sheep of a different color?
You need to grow up. You think anyone that disagrees with you is the enemy. I respect your right to your opinion. And I respect you. That doesn't mean I have to respect nor agree with your opinion.
But look who is playing the game here. I don' rate any more "Semper Fi's" because YOU say so? Really? Who the fuck are you?
And, you son of a bitch, don't question MY honor while you sat around on a boat while we did your dirty work. Last war you were useful in was WWII. All you're worth now is the ride you provide to Marines going in. Bus drivers. What'd YOU ever do? Ever looked into the eyes of your enemy when you killed him? No you didn't.
You want to play games with me, let's do it. Or shut up and get back on topic. I guarantee you your best bet is the latter.
