I've had the occasion to meet a few

with their professionalism and ability. These guys knew their ****.



I've met loads of marines, (not at Quantico, but in places like Iraq &
Afghanistan) & found many of them charming, intelligent and sincere.

That's a quasi-racist stereotype. :-)

It's like "Some of my best friends are Marines."

Among the "loads" of Marines you've met, Lazarus, how many were
charming, intelligent, and sincere? Percentage-wise? Just a guess.

My cousin was a marine, 42 Commando Royal Marines. I met a lot of his
comrades. They were nice enough unless you tried to mess them about,
which some fool always did.

Dammit, Royal

(or should that be 'Mr Wulff'?')

none of the ones I spoke to actually shot at me.

For which I'm very grateful.

The "sincere" I'll buy. The "charming and intelligent" is a leap.

There were four officers that I met in my Air Force career that I told
"any time, any place," i.e. I would gladly serve under them anywhere.
One became the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Air Force (Gen McInerny).
Another was a Marine, more specifically, a female full bird.

I met four backup singers who sang with Tina Turner and I told
them the exact same thing.

Yeah, well, be careful...I told Angelina that, too, and every time "big
Brad" is, um, out with Matt Damon, she won't leave me alone...

Funny, I see you more as a caddy for Palmer. He always had that 7
iron in reserve. :-)
