Title: Do we have any former Marine's on here Post by: Loven It on August 23, 2006, 08:36:54 AM I just read an article on msnbc and was wondering if it applied to anyone on here since there are so many members of this site.
Article title: Marines to issue Involuntary call-ups. Up to 2500 Marines will be called back for active duty in either Iraq or Afghanistan. Link to msnbc article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14468245/ Title: Re: Do we have any former Marine's on here Post by: VForcedave on August 23, 2006, 08:48:01 AM I heard about that. George is not backing down one bit from the task at hand.

It makes no sense to send them back. Iraq is a mess...the Shiite vs. Sunni situation is undeterminable by U.S. Troops. It's no longer about a real or imagined threat of terror over there. My heart goes out to them.

He already did 2 tours and said it has changed him forever being on the front line. That would be the correct acronym, however it is still wrong. If your friend truly is a United States Marine he may not want to go but he will because it's his duty, unless he's a poser.SEMPER FI |
