A US Marine at a roadway checkpoint, bored to tears, talking to a Baghdad-bound Iraqi taxi driver. You have to understand Marine humor in combat—a little on the sick side, but very funny. This lad’s sarcasm and cynicism is profound and hilarious. This is why the Commandant of the Marine Corps tried to have the Marines pulled from Iraq and sent to Afghanistan , because the lance corporals were complaining that they had no one to shoot at. Of course, Secretary Gates turned him down, so now the Marines are passing the word via cab drivers for the insurgents to come out and play..[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
Both links worked for me? HMMM. With that said, I LOVE IT. Show them we're or you're just as nuts and crazy as they're, maybe even more so then them. I LOVE IT...
Yes, the taxi driver thought he was nuts. Hope he passes that on also.

Man, I wish we'd let these guys have free reign in Afghanistan, where we should have been concentrating our efforts.
I've said it before, but some people are suited to the military lifestyle and some aren't. This young man is home. I can't imagine he'd be as happy doing anything else.
Hey, damage855, how can you tell that's a Benelli? I can't really get a good look at it in the video.

Some people are suited? Anyone who would set aside their civilian distractions and allow their love of country, yearn for a brotherhood and allow their devotion to a cause to surface is at home in the military as much as anyone else. The ones you refer to, are the ones who have flip the switch and are putting their full concentration in their job at hand. Anyone is able, just far too many never give it a full chance or a solid effort and take the easier path in either avoiding military service or complaining about it. Had they given it their all, they would surprise themselves and many more would be at home in serving.
