Why We Love Marines
My fellow Jarheads will appreciate this one....
WHY WE LOVE MARINES
Shortly after President Bush took office, an old man approached the
White House from the park across Pennsylvania Avenue where he'd been
sitting on a park bench.
He spoke to the U. S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to
go in and meet with President Clinton. "
The marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr.Clinton is no longer
president and no longer resides here.
The old man said, "Okay," and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to
the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Clinton.
"
The marine again told the man, "Sir, Mr. Clinton is no longer
president and no longer resides here."
The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.
The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to
the very same U. S. Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet with
President Clinton."
The marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man
and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking
to speak to Mr.Clinton; I've told you already that Mr. Clinton is no
longer the president and no longer resides here. Don't you understand? "
The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I just
love hearing it."
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said,"See you tomorrow,
Sir!"

weeeeellllll....being a Ranger, it is against my code of conduct to "cheer" for the marines
however, i do have to laugh at the joke, since i have zero tolerance for draft dodgers who become commander in chief, and then pull me and my brothers out of battle because it made him look bad that people got hurt. not to mention pulling us out and leaving our fallen brothers behind on the battlefield and not allowing us to return to rescue them 
not that i'm bitterabout somalia or anything.

President Clinton was returning to Washington from Arkansas and upon deplanning from Air Force One he was carrying a pig under each arm. As he came down the ramp a Marine saluted him. Clinton said he was sorry but he couldn't salute back because of the pigs he was carrying. "And a fine pair of pigs they are" said the Marine." Clinton replied "Oh these aren't ordinary pigs. These are Arkansas Razorbacks!" The Marine responded "They look like very good pigs, Sir." So Clinton says "I got one for Hilary and one for Chelsea." The Marine answered "Looks like a very good trade, Sir!! " |

actually you could go one better and say three words to him:
"join the army:
glad to hear your friends son made it home safely, and my hat's off to him for his service
btw: for those not in the know, army/marine rib jabbing is tradition.. i have the utmost respect for ALL my fellow servicemen and women.
