Perhaps he should clarify?

"Semen's"...man, I love that

I don't need a new call sign, btw

The reason I said you breathe too much sand is twofold....you live in Arizona and you were in the service.
The reason I said it, was because you didn't catch the joke about me only disagreeing with the kick the dog statement, but beating the wife goes unnoticed.
Maybe you do breathe too much sand?

Don't pussy out now. Be a man & stand behind your statement (I forgot I'm talking to a leftie. You might want to look up the definition of man). The first part of your earlier post showed your true feelings about our military.

Down boy, remember your the one that thinks things around here are complicated.
Maybe you should look up the word" mule".

P.S. I would love to walk a mile in your shoes, I just don't have an anvil to put them on.

Just because you had a baD week sucking pecker doesn't give you a free pass to insult those who who degfend your rights and just because your boyfriend beats you doesn't mean that the real men here beat their wifes
You have a sick sence of fun if you think insulting those who defend this country is fun

I hope I never meet you

But it's always the same on the left coast.

I think it's time for some cowhand to walk you to your stable.

Down Boy? Son, we might need to have a talk someday! Calling anyone "boy" these days is almost guaranteed to open a can of whoopass, especially a thread regarding Marines!

You might need to look up the meaning of the word "Dip" sometime! Guess you got the right name for yourself early on.

You as well just keep digging the hold deeper. Must be some good beer you are drinking.

It is not even that late in Arizona, and you can't even figure out the connection between down boy and a mule. Amazing.
Should I keep digging my hold deeper.

Here is an excerpt from this LA Times opinion today about the Marines.



The article is in part about the racist movie director Spike Lee and his comments about how Clinton Eastwood was racist because he didn't include portrayals of black soldiers on Iwo Jima in Flags of our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima

The director was in Cannes, serving on one of the film festival's minor juries, when he took the opportunity to slam Clint Eastwood for the absence of African American characters in his critically acclaimed films on the bloodiest battle of World War II's Pacific campaign, "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters From Iwo Jima."

"He did two films about Iwo Jima back to back, and there was not one black soldier in both of those films," Lee said. "Many veterans, African Americans, who survived that war are upset at Clint Eastwood. In his vision of Iwo Jima, Negro soldiers did not exist. Simple as that. I have a different version."

You bet he does, which is why his next picture just happens to be the story of four soldiers serving in an all-black Army division in Italy. Controversy makes good publicity, and envy of Eastwood's success is an understandable, if not particularly admirable, trait.

There is, however, the small matter of history and dramatic storytelling. Putting aside the fact that there were no "soldiers" on Iwo Jima, only Marines, let's stipulate for the record that it might be hard to work too many African Americans into a story about the Japanese Imperial Army, which is what "Letters from Iwo Jima" was.

As far as "Flags of Our Fathers" goes, 900 of the 19,168 black Americans who served in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II were among the 250,000 Americans who ultimately went ashore there. All were in rigidly segregated units. Only the black Marines of the 8th Ammunition Company came ashore during the second and third waves, which would have put them on the island in time for the flag-raising that was the subject of the film.

Moreover, the fact of the matter is that looking back over Eastwood's directorial career -- including his Oscar-winning films "Unforgiven" and "Million Dollar Baby" -- there's probably no filmmaker of similar stature in Hollywood history who has so unself-consciously created central roles for actors who just happened to be African American.

Both the outbursts we heard this week belong to the era of identity politics and culture that is now thankfully fading. From the start, the insistence that race and ethnicity were central to American identity constituted an intellectual swamp that ultimately had to drain into a moral sewer. That's why its outflow -- like the remarks Lee made this week -- now strike us as bilge.

Bad sand storm here in Baghdad today and I am breathing too much sand.

All hail the freedom of speech, even for lefties.... and remember that brains are not required. Only an opinion, with a side of disrespect, and every ******* lefty has one. Ciao...

Was just re-reading Cobra II a bit earlier tonight. That book reinforces that our troops sure did one hell of a job during OIF despite a largely screwed up plan, and really poor logistics, and expecting to fight an entirely different enemy, and a force about 1/4 the size that the operation called for.

Again, thanks.

The last left wing buffoon that journeyed down the road you're on appeared to suffer some sort of breakdown. He began making statements like we were face to face & getting ready for some UFC action. Remember, if you had much of a brain, you wouldn't be a leftie. Quit while you're ahead.

PS The ability to sit through an episode of cops is proff that you're not in charge of a whole lot of brain power.

Spike Lee = racist pos. You can learn all you need to know about Spike by watching Bamboozled. I know it's designed to invoke white guilt, but it didn't for me. I just laughed. Mantan & Sleep & Eat, The Alabama Porch Monkeys, The Jolly Nigger Bank, were all clear indications of where Spike is coming from. On top of all of that, Spike is a punk. He's have gotten his ass whipped 3 times a week where I grew up.
