This post was to honor our US Marine Corps,


Well why did you pick an international fly-fishing group to do so?

US marines aren't very popular in much of the world (although I like
many of them personally very much. And my daughter's English ex, whom
I'm very fond of, has been serving in Iraq and afghanistan for the past
two years, and I wish him well. )

You must have noticed that Afghan, Palestinian & Iranian roffians have
all had the decency to refrain from using this ng to praise their own
paramilitaries. Couldn't you have done the same?

and given some of your
leftist posts in the past

Eh? name one. I'm not leftist. I'm centrist.

Maybe you're rightist?

Well Lazarus old boy, perhaps you didn't notice the OT in the subject line?
After the off topic crap that has been posted in this slagheap for way too
long now, I at least led off with OT (actually lately, OT should be
required when someone posts about flyfishing) Personally, I could give a
crap about what you or anyone else thinks of our Marines or other armed
forces for that matter.
I can understand why any Afghan, Palestinian & Iranian roffians (if there
are any) haven't posted to praise their "paramilitaries." smirk

Reminds me of a joke...

A famous arms dealer had some Hakims for sale...never fired, only
dropped in sand once...
