And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I remember there was 50 of us and just one Staff Sergeant. SSGT Brooks didn't need any help. He'd have sneered at it. It is kind of interesting that none of those NCOs are wearing a CAR. I would have thought by this point in the wars that just about every Marine NCO had one. I remember my last time on MCRD San Diego that every DI and most everyone not a boot was wearing one but that was over 5 years ago.
Making your bed and polishing your shoes -- skills lacking in many young Americans.

ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that Amanda isn't going to be a Marine, right?
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to agree- "that's the worst rack I've ever seen in my life!"
is this a shot of the bay before he threw the rack upside down or after the squad picked it back up????
