Obama made a huge misstatement about Rev. Wright last night.

There is no such thing as an EX-Marine!




Once a Marine, always a Marine!

1. Petty shit

[hedgehog]

2. I meant it as a sarcastic response to those who question Rev. Wright's patriotism.

9. About half of the people who post here

take every single word posted literally. They wouldn't know irony or sarcasm if it hit them up side the head.

11. You got that right! Those of us with a semblance of "a sense of humor" must use the sarcasm tag.

:hi:

3. My father would have agreed with you. :)

My mother used to complain that he only bought clothes that were green or khaki.

4. What has really been on my mind the past month is bitter-gate, wright, lapels, and Ayers. Fuck

the price of gas, our shitty economy, the war, or anything! WHY THE FUCK WON'T OBAMA WEAR A LAPEL PIN?!?!?!

[hedgehog]

5. That was my only disappointment of the evening. I was waiting for Obama

to explain that he took off his flag pin the day he noticed that other senators who were cutting veteran's benefits were all wearing theirs!

6. No kidding

I know a few and being a Marine is a HUGE deal for them.

7. He Didn't Make a Mistake

To those of us in the real world, once you are done with an occupation, you are "former" or "ex".

Only in the realm of military propaganda/brainwashing do some people have the problem of not moving on with their lives.

13. It is my understanding that these three things just don't exist:

Ex-Marine

Ex-Catholic


Ex-Texan

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

8. I'm an EX-marine.

"Eat the apple and FUCK the Corps."

[ShortnFiery]

10. LOL, not a big mistake, my beloved Jarhead (husband) is a retired Marine

But yes, I know the Corps emphasizes that the term is "former" not "EX" Marine.

Semper Fi (Always Faithful) ;)

12. There goes the ex-marine vote. Really? nt
