In my imagination it went down something like this: Lews_TherinThelamon - 21/09/2011 04:22:08 PM 634 Views
Something went wrong here... Lews_TherinThelamon - 21/09/2011 04:23:04 PM 578 Views
There could be some truth to that random thoughts - 21/09/2011 04:34:36 PM 664 Views

I thought nothing could make the Swedish "dress blues" look worse than it already does. Lews_TherinThelamon - 21/09/2011 04:40:08 PM 563 Views

Well, you can worry about what might happen. Lews_TherinThelamon - 22/09/2011 09:17:02 AM 568 Views
and how much actual combat have these units seen? random thoughts - 22/09/2011 02:40:50 PM 677 Views
Sweden has not been involved in many hot conflicts during those years, no Lews_TherinThelamon - 22/09/2011 05:04:26 PM 675 Views
The real test will be when a country with a non-discriminatory military fights a major war. Joel - 22/09/2011 04:00:12 PM 810 Views
The other branches could benefit in a lot of ways by trying to emulate the Marines random thoughts - 22/09/2011 03:25:16 PM 695 Views
Probably. Joel - 22/09/2011 04:33:49 PM 638 Views

Quoting someone is not rhetoric; I am honestly flabbergasted that we are still debating that fact. Joel - 22/09/2011 11:12:29 PM 745 Views
I thought there was a reason I loved The USMC. *NM* StarrBecca - 21/09/2011 08:39:50 PM 258 Views

"I bet you could suck a golfball through a garden hose" was NOT a compliment? Joel - 22/09/2011 11:25:43 PM 711 Views
The only really great thing about that movies is he sounded so much like a drill instructor random thoughts - 22/09/2011 03:01:13 PM 699 Views
I doubt the sort of person who is interested in the Marines will particularly care about being PC *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2011 10:34:11 PM 256 Views
no but they care a lot about having PC forced on the them which happens all the time random thoughts - 22/09/2011 10:41:13 PM 572 Views
That's because he was a USMC drill instructor. Retired. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 23/09/2011 10:06:17 PM 242 Views
but oddly even though he calls himslef the Gunny random thoughts - 24/09/2011 07:58:08 AM 514 Views
