Fuck you, YJ. Every Marine serves more than just his MOS. I did relief efforts I Earthquakes and Hurricanes. What have you done for your fellow man than be a fucking shit?

I stand outside of recruitment centers every Thursday and try to convince the kids to not die for a rich man's war. I bet I saved more lives doing that than your entire active duty!

Doubtful. Even if you are telling the truth, I doubt you have had more contact and influenced more potential recruits than the number of lives I personally passed relief packages to.

Haha OK OK, you're a rusty trombone hero and I am not.

I'm with you, Draug. God bless the men and women who have died for our freedom.

So... Should maple leaf be banned from this thread or something?

come on tvrocks, you're just inviting him in

The phrase "only patriots need post" is inviting him in.

+1 Draug for honoring those who gave their lives
+1 ghug for posting a great boob-squeezing gif
-1 yellow

I'll go ahead and make a little hash on my notepad every time you feel the need to give me a -1 dirge, and I'll make sure to mentally subtract it from my total +1 count because your opinion is incredibly important to me. Every time you do it I'll cry a little bit on the inside, because the thought of disappointing an icon of hilarity and all around super-important fellow such as yourself just breaks my heart.

+1 for that

As a veteran, the fact that Draug felt the need to lead with "only patriots need post" makes me ill.

Memorial day is about remembering the fallen, not making a transparent attempt to flog your own politics.

@Jack - I was pissed at YJ's attack on current soldiers when Memorial Day isn't even about currently living active duty soldiers and those soldiers are following orders. So I wasn't trying to flog my own politics, but refute a deplorable, reprehensible, and outright disgusting thread by YJ, whom I have now muted for an indefinite period so he can't push me to that level again.

So forgive a fellow veteran for defending the day from a fuckwit like YJ. Please?

+1 Klein

This whole term 'patriots' is so relative. Here in Vietnam they have a whole different perspective on that term.

War is hell.

As I said, I was a bit angry at YJ. I should have just asked that it be reserved for positive, non-political comments. For that I am sorry.

So, if anyone is still up for it, list anyone to whom yesterday was extra poignant to you. I'm lucky. My father, uncles, and both grandfathers survived despite serving in WWII and Vietnam and my own service was during one of those rare times of peace. Only a cold war going on, not a hot one.

Patriot. AAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA.

americans are imperialist scumbags, who murder women and children worldwide, in order to plunder foreign resources. You cowards don't even FACE your victims anymore. You send drones. You call the dead children, "bugsplat".

I'd like to hold your mother down and spit in her stinky american pussy........JUST FOR MEMORIAL DAY!

U.S.A! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! Goddddddddd Bless Amerrrrrrrrrricaaaa....BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM. OHHHHHHHHH MY POOR FREE BABY.......lol.

Appropriate gun-nut post after ANOTHER school shooting, Fagnaur.

Well done. Predictable AND classy. Well done.

Draugnar:

mapleleaf gives his kind regards for your service in defense of the country which keeps him safe. He offers his sincere love and affection for your family, and gives his highest regards to your mother for raising such an impeccable example of the perfect American man. He praises you for your high class and demeanor, and wishes you a wonderful week.

I keep picturing Lance Corporal Fagnaur performing free vaginal examinations on the native schoolgirls.

Draug quit strawmanning me you choad. Play the youtube video I posted. If you think I'm "attacking the troops" you're sorely mistaken.

"Don't you native schoolgirls want this Relief Package? Okay sweety. Just take off those filthy rags so Unkie Fagnaur can perform his regulation vaginal examination." ( Lance Corporal Fagnaur USMC )

One of these days, I'll have to go read what he is actually saying. I love PE's interpretation which, knowing maple, is probably driving the one armed Canadian lumberjack to a frothing at the mouth frenzy.

Oh yeah. That's an accurate assessment, Lance Corporal Fagnaur. Spot on, as usual.

Ah, another one!

Draugnar, mapleleaf wishes to know whether you were a poonhound during your days in the service. He suspects that you were, having great admiration for your virility and confidence.

That was before I was married (got married after I left the service).

Interesting, because I only got serviced after I left my marriage.

I'm carrying over this discussion topic from another thread because it's more appropriate here.

Given that the Muslims will eventually take over the world, do you think that Osama Bin Laden will be correctly acknowledged as the Founding Father of the United States?

Draugnar... see OP - threadID=1137918.

What are you talking about Bo?

Don't read what he's actually saying.

He has him muted, bo.

Oh.

Good to know.
