Semper Fi and happy birthday, Marines

Actually no, the primitives didn't commemorate it.

If it had been a post about a marine pushing a goat herder it would have gotten 3000 replies and kicks.   
You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

Hmmm. That's more of a memorial than dear departed Andy got.
DU sure has some odd priorities.

Sadly, after all these hours, there's just two primitives who've shown up to reply there, probably retired Marines.

Given the way the primitives are, they probably think the woman behind the counter at the welfare office is more important than a Marine.

They're probably looking to get the OP tombstoned for glorifying the military-industrial complex.

I'm waiting for the DUmp's phony soldiers to start recounting their heroism on Iwo.

Surely numbersBoo and TiT were there.

Happy Birthday Marine Corps!
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
