You a marine? If so it shows, if not your just a dumb ass.
I am not sure what you are trying to say here, but I don't think I appreciate it. I just celebrated 25 years with the USMC (both active and reserve), and am very proud of that, and The Corps. Granted, Karma_hunden hasn't proven himself to be a Rhodes Scholar with his comments and grammar, but that has nothing to do with him/her either being or not being a Marine. As we discuss such meaningless topics as whether to call a hunk of metal a hatch or a wagon, there are thousands of Marines, Sailers, Soldiers, and Airmen, who have been put in harm's way by the current administration. Whether or not they should be there is an entirely different discussion, but the fact remains Marines, along with all the other service members, are enduring untold difficulties to accomplish the missions set before them. Thousands of them have come home in the boxes, and many thousands more have come home permanently disabled. Does that make them dumb-asses? I think that makes them heroes.
One loudmouth unthinking young punk spouting off in an insignificant forum will not sully their sacrifice. Shagwagn, if you were never in the military, I suggest you go down to your local VFW, and talk to some of the old men in there, or at least see "Band of Brothers" and "Saving Private Ryan." These may have featured the Army, but they might be able to at least some idea of what others have done to allow you the privilege of living free. There is a movie coming out this month called "Flags of our Fathers." Go see it. It is about one of the most famous Marine battles ever. We have been protecting this country for 231 years, come this November 10, and will continue to do so. We are the Few, the Proud, we are the finest fighting force this world has ever seen. Dumb-asses? Not on your life.
If you actually were in the military, you understand about what I am speaking, so I will accept your comment as just some friendly inter-service rivalry, you ( ) fill in the blank: a. doggie, b. swabbie, c. flyboy.
BTW, call it a hatch, call it a wagon, call it anything you want, but call one of them mine the day after I get back.
Back on topic: Nice brochure, nice car, but mine will be the NA, plane-jane Mz3 hatchwagon.
