Hello, No MERCY, and how are you today? What branch of service did you say you were in?
Over 250 marines are dead
I'm assuming you're refering to Operation Iraqi Freedom here. As a Marine that served in this war, and lost fellow brothers, I would appreciate it if you would stop inflating our KIAs. I'm sure from the comfort of your living room, it's easy to lose count of how many, what with video games, girls, safe nights sleeping and all. As of this month, the USMC has lost 82 Marines (see, that's with a capital "M")
How about those soldiers? Okay, the US Army (those would be the soldiers) have lost 433.
Do not ever try to get into a pissing match of the branches using dead and honourable men.
Perhaps you've finally learned a good lesson in life, you don't trust reporters .. they aren't there, they aren't doing it. Just like you.
Now young man, I suggest you take a step back and from now on watch what you say. If you want to someday be a part of the military, practise the three L's .. Look, Listen and Learn.
