IRAQ invasion....yes or no
- Thread starter BurlyShirley
- Start date
The only thing shocking here is that RM legend BurlyShirley is kind of an idiot.
Whatever happened to Jorvik? He joined the jar heads, his father sold his power wagon, and he disappeared.
That was a dickish post to be honest. I guess with so many people being idealistic it certainly helps if at least the political leadership remains pragmatic.
Burley was a loudmouthed annoying little shit who was constantly wrong about everything when he first signed up here.
Thanks to the patience of people like ohio he grew into a hilarious loud mouthed reflective little shit.
I miss him. Hope he's doing well.

Manimal, BS and MikeD, three jarheads that turned out to be pretty ok guys once they were acclimated to society again.
Yeah if by okay you mean racist, power tripping nerd man who constantly espoused confirmation bias as 'his own research'
Guarantee you that dude has a login on stormfront.
yea manimal went border patrol to keep the illegals out. he's probably currently trying to find out where he can sign up to help build trumps wall.
Takes liberal arts classes at community college, complains about liberals.Yeah if by okay you mean racist, power tripping nerd man who constantly espoused confirmation bias as 'his own research'

Lots of evangelical horseshit in that mix... Jebus gonna kill you unless you kill commies!
Oh, I forgot about the anti-academic conclusions as teachin' books disagreed with his personal mythology. Lernin' fer hippies and other lazy slacker types.

He was well on his way to turning into N8
so much judgement and hate in this thread....
Think you're being a lil cruel to MD lumping him in with those other two dropkicks.
He does actually have a above average brain and uses it, easily the most thoughtful Marine I've ever met*.
*ok so I've only ever met 6 or so but hey I like to pretend it still counts!
No. N8 has always presented as a neoconservative true believer, but I don't recall him tending to racism or Jebus pushing.

If we can't hate on Sadam, we can hate on each other... I suppose no one here was ever young and dumb?
Or less "worldly".

He was brewed from the same pot, but you are correct. MikeD is a stand up guy who is not the "usual" Marine (having spent time in the Navy, I have met more than my share of Marines). But if I'm not mistaken they all worked together at one point, or maybe Marines just all look alike to me.

Marines get a medal for a clean wipe in boot camp. I have never seen so many "participant" style awards in all my life as I did with Marines. It was like some sort of "Medal of the Month" club they join or something.
But seriously, Iraq "war" was a sham.
So, old school fascist vs religious extremist?
MD is so smart, I never thought he had ever been a marine.
He also spent a good bit of time in the liberal, hippie haven of San Francisco. Spending time in a world with contrary opinions does help open eyes.MD is so smart, I never thought he had ever been a marine.
Did nothing for me and I lived near Boulder and Colorado Springs...
You clearly didn't go crunchy enough. Boulder might be crunchy, but it's the Nature Valley of granola. Berkeley/SF are the home-made, using petuli oil, granola of this country.
MikeD was an officer after doing the ROTC route at UVA IIRC. BS and manual were enlisted. BS became enlightened after he done got schooled under the GI Bill.He was brewed from the same pot, but you are correct.

Ah, that's right. Nice work. Fack, I feel old as shit right now.
you left out the smiley face on the cock tattoo....
N8 was very skilled at talking around things he knew he shouldn't say, he drew a veil around much of what he said, and it could often be taken more than one way. But when one speaks with multiple meanings, and there is a common trend in the possibilities, well you can draw your own conclusions. But was he not eventually banned from the PAWN because he went on a streak of comments where the veil proved too thin?
he posted a pic/meme photoshop of some chick getting drilled in the ass i think....
wasnt he a self-hating non-white minority?
