Technically, they're not at war either. Congress hasn't voted to declare war since June 5, 1942. |

Sad but true. If America was at war, the Marines would have been home long ago. |

DFWBrysco' Beyond that, aseirinn you're fighting a losing debate - you are trying to apply the old "who's ultimately responsible for death" discussion and there is no winner in that.'
aseirinn; I simply wished to make the point that, alot of Americans think they are at 'war' therefore 'war' was declared...It wasn't; what does 'war on terror' mean?, this has no legitmate meaning...it'd be like saying 'war on evil'. it makes no sense because what is 'evil'?, 'Terrorism'?. It's an ambiguous statement, a simplified statement to make an illegitimate illegal invasion seem legitimate to the masses...Que 'Photo of Obama in Cammies', odd that?...has he visited yet?
Wish they'd hurry up and install they're 'puppet, western friendly government' and leave...then the Iraqis can start to rise up to overthrow it... |

quaintness;Canada is awesome, you shush.
aseirinn ; of course Canada is 'awsome' as you put it...I didn't run it down. one of your own countrymen was running it down and I was pointing out his childlike post...read, understand and reply tosser...look further down the posts to discover this, i posted his name so there would be no confusion, youre just out of bed...so your forgiven. Now put the kettle on and relax... |

Who cares if its a war zone or not. That's a marine. That statement could have been written on any random classroom wall and still be true. In fact, look at that great penmanship and grammar! |

lol. and so you are righteous in killing someone because they are insulting? yea you are definitely one of the "nice" people
Sarcasm, mockery, and bitterness makes a fine paste of cruelty and heartlessness.
I actually made a reference to something, care to guess what it was? |

Splurby: "I noticed that it "looks" like the Marine in the background is in green cammies.(Maybe the light is distorting it) If so, this was written in garrison, which is to say, not a warzone, otherwise the Marine would be in desert cammies. Just thought I would add this."
It is just the light. He is in Deserts and they are in Garrison. That's def. a barracks room. |

Bless your son, CoffeeDiva, and you Splurby, and all the other military personnel serving overseas. Let's all hope that they come home safe. From a hardcore liberal, meant very sincerely. |

yes it is all of the armed services but marines are first to fight and the sign just happened to be in at a Marine base.

Upon a second look:
I noticed that it "looks" like the Marine in the background is in green cammies.(Maybe the light is distorting it) If so, this was written in garrison, which is to say, not a warzone, otherwise the Marine would be in desert cammies. Just thought I would add this. |

Reading the comments I realize it's totally true what we say. Only a Marine can understand another Marine.
This writing is through another Marines' perspective. The person that wrote it most definitely wanted to simply say that the rest of America for the most part stands very detached to this on going war and are too busy being consumers to fully understand or even care what is really happening there.
Furthermore, there is not a Marine out there who has not had to work close with other branches and who, aside from the playful jabs at other branches, truly appreciates their brothers and sisters in arms and what they do.
I think that while this writing gives a general concensuis among our fighting men and women, the mentality that they have nobody to rely on but themselves is probably what helps them stay alive in combat. You certainly aren't there to help them. |

100% true sad to say. It's been a long time since I felt America has my back. Especially when I was there the second time around. |
