the entire marine corps has a birthday, as in it was actually born? that is one resilient vagina. i'd have to assume its mother died in childbirth.

That is all.

"The Navy Cross is presented to James H. Webb, Jr., First Lieutenant, U.S. Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism while serving as a Platoon Commander with Company D, First Battalion, Fifth Marines, First Marine Division (Reinforced), Fleet Marine Force, in connection with combat operations against the enemy in the Republic of Vietnam. On 10 July 1969, while participating in a company-sized search and destroy operation deep in hostile territory, First Lieutenant Webb's platoon discovered a well-camouflaged bunker complex that appeared to be unoccupied. Deploying his men into defensive positions, First Lieutenant Webb was advancing to the first bunker when three enemy soldiers armed with hand grenades jumped out. Reacting instantly, he grabbed the closest man and, brandishing his .45 caliber pistol at the others, apprehended all three of the soldiers. Accompanied by one of his men, he then approached the second bunker and called for the enemy to surrender. When the hostile soldiers failed to answer him and threw a grenade that detonated dangerously close to him, First Lieutenant Webb detonated a claymore mine in the bunker aperture, accounting for two enemy casualties and disclosing the entrance to a tunnel. Despite the smoke and debris from the explosion and the possibility of enemy soldiers hiding in the tunnel, he then conducted a thorough search that yielded several items of equipment and numerous documents containing valuable intelligence data. Continuing the assault, he approached a third bunker and was preparing to fire into it when the enemy threw another grenade. Observing the grenade land dangerously close to his companion, First Lieutenant Webb simultaneously fired his weapon at the enemy, pushed the Marine away from the grenade, and shielded him from the explosion with his own body. Although sustaining painful fragmentation wounds from the explosion, he managed to throw a grenade into the aperture and completely destroy the remaining bunker. By his courage, aggressive leadership, and selfless devotion to duty, First Lieutenant Webb upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and of the United States Naval Service"

Marine core soldiers, you inconsiderate miscreant. They are marine core soldiers, and don't you dare slight their service by insulting their name.

I knew Drew Carey, because that's how people always explained his haircut.

Randy Orton should be stricken from the record.

JusticeandIndependence: Or Shaggy

For whatever reason I knew about that one, but certainly was shocked when I learned it.

HulkHands: Randy Orton should be stricken from the record.

Dishonorable discharge, right?

Wife like sniping detected.

Blues_X: I think someone missed a meme.

Apparently. The marines I know don't tend to joke around too much about that sort of thing, though.

Which is what started the meme when a TFer claimed to be a Marine, but called it the "core" and them "soldiers".

He was not too convincing.

James Carville????? REALLY?????

Also, Oliver North? Shouldn't he be stricken from the list?
