Balog, you are not describing the MArine Corps I know and love. Either it has changed greatly in the time I have been out, or an unbelieveable number of the f---ups somehow got clustered together where you were.

Well, that is a battalion's worth of incidents over a couple years. 29 Palms seems to make people hate life and be stupid. So do the grunts, but that's another story. Perception has nothing to do with it, everything I mentioned truly happened independent of my opinion.

That's like saying the environment and prevailing mood at Minot AFB is indicative of Air Force installations all over the U.S.   rolleyes

Ezekiel, how much first hand experience do you have with the military?  Not trying to flame you but trying to decipher how you come to some of your conclusions.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

Honestly?

Ignorance combined with bigotry and elitism.  What fun.
Got to put Zeke back on the ignore list.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Ignore?  Feel free.

I'm going to go search for aspirin, then consider wmenorr67's question.

My head is KILLING me.

I tried ignore a while back, but it didn't seem to work.  Little help?

I was just speaking figuratively, fistful.  Usually I just ignore Zeke's posts because of what I stated above.  Once in awhile, however, like a moth drawn to the flame...
Or maybe it's like being unable to avert ones eyes to an impending train wreck.

Not on purpose.

If you desire to go "structural," we can: but efficacy would be dramatically increased by actually attempting something with strategic value.

Changing the subject, are we?

I guess it's safe to conclude that Ezekiel has no suggestions to improve the military.
