OT Happy Birthday...

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.

Hamas' or 'OT Happy Birthday IRA' on Roff whenever the time comes due)

This post was to honor our US Marine Corps, and given some of your
leftist posts in the past I'm not surprised you would try to dishonor our
Marines. What a cheap shot! You get yourself downrange of a group of
marines and fire comes from your direction, you're gonna get plastered,
simple as that.

A friend of the family with a son in USMC sent this a while back.

USMC Rules For Gunfighting
1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your
friends who have guns.
2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap.
Life is expensive.
3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss, is a slow miss.
4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast
enough nor using cover correctly.
5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and
diagonal movement are preferred.)
6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and
a friend with a long gun.
7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance,
or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading,
and running.
9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more
dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun.
10. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.
11. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. "All skill is in vain when an
Angel urinates in the flintlock of your musket."
12. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should
have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
13. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you
lose.
14. Have a plan.
15. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.
16. Use cover or concealment as much as possible. The visible target
should be in FRONT of your gun.
17. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
18. Don't drop your guard. Never turn your back on dead looking or
wounded enemy, unless they have no head.
19. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else,
keep your hands where I can see them).
20. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
21. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
22. Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you
meet.
23. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
24. Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong
commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
25. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does
not start with a "4."

Navy Rules to Gunfighting
1. Adopt an aggressive offshore posture.
2. Send in the Marines.
3. Drink cold beverages, eat hot food, enjoy the ship's air
conditioning

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...

OK lets stir things up a bit.
Does anyone in this thread or rthe Veteran's Day thread respect and like
Dick Cheney?
Is he an honorable and caring man for the average American and human?
Where will he be in history?

Will he be eaten by trout?

I am doing a survey
Thanks in advance

No, but at least he showed up to lay the wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier. Shrub was too f*cking busy. It's hard work bein' on vacation on
your ranch & all. Plus, that dead soldier doesn't work so good for a photo
op. Honor our trrops, my ass. All hat, no cattle.
