As an ex Jarhead I dont usually have much positive to say about Doggies. But....This speech is very good! This guy has his sh*t together! He nails it and the language is ok for my grankids and daughter. I thought it was so good i played it twice. Best half hr. on the net in a long time.
I have a long string of letters after my name; but I learned more about life in my few years as a grunt than in my many years in the ivory towers. Unless your field of work requires a lot of sheepskins do not waste your time and money on formal education past high school. Nothing personal Rusty just my own opinion based on over six decades of life.

I will need to have a look when I have a better connection. No good from work.
BTW Nostrodomus (sp?) has nothing on me. Last week when the hurricane center revised it's predictions on this season, I predicted big oil would come up with a new reason to keep oil prices high.
Yep I am good.

Rod: Academic meatheads are nothing but liberals in disquise. To them education is the answer to all. Merely creating a reason for their existence. The truth is. 65% of Jihads are college grads and 75% are professionals. They have already been educated. Incorrectly educated. Same as some of the meathead posters on this blog. Semper Fi.

Hezbollah is heavily involved in drug dealing in South and Central America. South American muslims have raised 100's of millions of dollars for Hezbollah.
South American is the fastest growing muslem area in the world.
Hugo Chavez welcomes Hezbollah and protects them.
Scare you? Don't worry this message will probably be deleled by Hezbollah supporters.

And Hizb'Allah has also planted sleeper cells in the US, and they have the capability to carry out terrorist attacks in every major city in the United States. Right now. As we speak. And our politicians don't even have the balls to protect us. Do what IM has suggested. Arm yourselves now, buy gas masks(the Russian variety are cheap, if you want to be cheap), get out of the big cities, and get ready, before it is too late. That is good advice.

Chavez is the single greatest threat to US stability in the world. If that socialist in Mexico had been elected, we would be looking at real issues of border control. Regardless, Chavez will be exporting his ideology to Mexico with much enthusiasm very soon.
I would not be surprised if Iran, Venezuela and the Norks coordinated an attack on the US economy before the end of the year.

Haywood is confused, is Paul saying God Damn Bless America?
Awesome speech. He says it the way it is. These proud soldiers and many before them (including Haywood his ownself) defend the rights of those too weak willed to know why.
Thanks to all of them.

HAHAHA.
Yeah, don't go to school, it'll make you think and stuff.
Much better to get brainwashed for a few weeks then sent off with speech about how courageous you are because you let some recruiter talk you out of that Walmart job.
And how is it that the best and the brighest and the most intestinally fortitudinous are always from poor backgrounds?
Get a grip boys, this is not WWII. These kids are going off and dying for no good reason.
Democracy in the middle-east will only produce more Hamas and Hezollah winning elections. It's a stupid policy and not one that will make America safe in the long run. The president may love America, but he sure doesn't know how to run it.
And speaking of guys on campuses and board rooms who don't have the guts to face the enemy, ever heard of Dick "i had other priorities" Cheney?

Very motivating speech.
Talk about being brain washed? Although this is not WWII eerily similar to the Fascist Socialist movements leading up to it. Chamberlain tried appeasement and failed. I know what we should do all hold hands and sing Kumbaya , Give Peace a Chance, embrace the UN and turn are guns in to the local Party Leader. That way we will all be safe.
Long live Past, Present and Future American Spartans.
Never forget MIA/POW'S(AE2 RICHARD M. MANCINI

"And how is it that the best and the brighest and the most intestinally fortitudinous are always from poor backgrounds?"
They are? Could have fooled me. My father [with his MA in hand] enlisted in WWII, following in the footsteps of his older brother [BS, WWI], and followed in succession by his son [Viet Nam, BA] and grandson [Iraq, BA].
Uncle Roy was an artilleryman, Dad was an Army Ranger and my son is a combat infantryman. While none of us are wealthy, we are hardly ignorant, and I would not consider us as being from a 'poor background'. Likewise, many with whom I served [the average educational level of enlisted men in my unit in 1971 was 3 years of college] and who served with my son, were from solidly middle class families.
Now if by 'poor background' you mean 'from families who value honor and committment and love of country', then I embrace that background and pity those like you who do not understand such concepts.

So Quando:
Show us your DD-214! What? You didn't serve? Then quit talking out your ass about something you know nothing about.
It is really something to hear people talk so knowingly about the military who have never served a day in their lives.

No I haven't served yet, but I'm joining Navy JAG next year when I finish law school. I love my country and I know that military service is important, but I hate assholes like that guy who think the only virtuous deed is to blindly follow when led.
No thanks! I love America because I can think for myself here, not despite it.
And Charlie, your anecdotal experience is does not override the fact that enlisted men today are mainly teenage boys with little education and little opportunity. A for previous wars, like I said, this nonesense of establishing "democracy" in the middle-east is no WWII, hell it isn't even vietnam.

Quando, you might rethink your military service. That is what good soldiers do, follow orders and do what is asked of them. Even if the guy giving the orders is a Asshole from the President on down you follow orders, like them or not.
JC, I can see it now 150,000 soldiers before storming the beaches of Normandy "I'm not hitting that beach were going to be slaughtered, those guys are fucking Assholes!" No they did it because that is what good soldiers do follow orders.
So if you have your own geo-political views and agendas you might rethink your military service. Unless you are one of the lucky few, no one will give a rats ass about what you think. They will just tell you to "Shut your piehole and follow the goddam orders soldier."

Quando,
Just a couple of points to ponder if you are serious about joining the military as a JAG.
1. Don't form too strident an opinion, especially a condescending one, about your future clients before you have left the shelter of law school. You will find out later, if you are honest with yourself, that you are currently in a fairy tale land (law school) and thus are subject to fairy tale visions of what is really going on in the world.
2. Don't put a lot of stock in what you are "going to" do. You will find that everyone is "about to" do this or "going to" do that. Concentrate on doing it first then form opinions later. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but the only ones that count have experience to back it up.
3. Be prepared to have your prevailing view seriously challenged.
Best of luck
