I was good with everything you said until that. Did you serve in either? My guess is no, otherwise I doubt seriously you would have said that. I'm taking that as an insult.I do wish that it were Marines, and not Army, guarding the tomb, but the Marine Corps has better things to do.
Actually, yes, I spent four years in the Corps, and currently my wife is active. My family will soon be moving to Camp Lejeune because of this. The remark that has insulted you so was intended as humor, which I though would be indicated with the part about wishing it were Marines guarding the tomb. The better things to do part was a jab at the Army. The "better" things the Marines have to do is to actually do the defending part while the Army stays home. I hope this clears things up, but if you are still insulted......Okiewan said:I was good with everything you said until that. Did you serve in either?

In defense of Fru the internet boards are almost the new age Taverns to many of us unfortunately the joking/sarcasim doesn't come out as readilyJaybird said:Fru...dewd, I also take offence when I hear such stuff from fellow service members. That sort of "joking" belongs in the tavern. .
OR made it obvious it was humor. The smilies serve that purpose.Perhaps I shouldn't have have expressed humor in a patriotic thread, perhaps that's just the opinion of some.
