Colonel Frank Wiercinski's words to our fallen "We've fought together. We'll grieve together."

As an Officer, I can understand Friendly Fire. As a Canadian, the likes of the Gunny and Colonel Wiercinski keeps me committed to the fight. The arrogance of Scrappy does not.
I'm sick of his crap. That's all. He does this thing CONSTANTLY, and I'll find five threads where he just jumps on it and makes out like a Marine is just the epitome of military capability and virtue, and if it stopped at that, he'd just be a blow-hard, like they're brainwashed to be. But he's unduly critical of the other services that he but dimly understands, and as you know, I don't suffer a fool like that gladly.

So whatever THIS thread is about, Da Grape is standing on my last nerve - AGAIN - and I'm just telling him to step off.

That's it.
