..to the Marine Corps (yesterday) to include any active or retired on this
group. Apropos of nothing, I just finished a good book yesterday about the
role the F-15E Strike Eagle played in the first Iraq war. The author also
had high praise for the Brit Tornado pilots and I learned a new word from
the Brits as well. Their term for female members of the military is "bumpy
fronts." It seems they needed some US BFs to attend their parties,
apparently not bringing enough of their own BFs.

Unfortunately the US marines are not as popular with their brit
colleagues as one might hope. Their habit of killing their allies as
happily as they kill fuzzy-headed arabs, and not 'fessing up when they
get things wrong, means that even their friends are wary of them.
