WILF 51,433 Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago I watched the first episode of that Marine documentary on Netflix last night (US marines !) I genuinely can’t watch anymore !……..what a bunch of f***ing morons ! There will have been some Cossack in Russia watching that, who got raised up in the back arse of nowhere eating cats, thinking “I wonder which roid head I will eat first ?” It’s like a sunshine bus excursion with guns ! A far cry from the 85 Airborne & Royal Irish lads that I watched the other day who were completely cut off, fighting over 700 Taliban back in 2006 in Afghanistan…..calm, professional, not carrying on like a load of teenagers at a pop concert ! Just having a cup of tea and doing their job to full lethal effect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 28,677 Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago My daughter was engaged to an American marine gunnery sergeant who was in the embassy marine guard detachment in Saudi, and she spent some time in Camp Lejuenne in Carolina. I had many a great night with them in their Brass Eagle Bar at the Embassy, and found them great company and extremely polite and professional, but like all military had that humour that’s particular to the forces. They made me an honorary member and I got the T shirt; All I all, a great bunch of men I’d have back me up any time Cheers. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
