Why aren't people who burn the flag deported, with their citizenship revoked? If they think it's so bad here we'd be doing them a favor. It's better than the death by stoning they might get in another country.

P.S. I wasn't a grunt. I was a REMF. Rear Echelon M***** F*****. At least that's what the grunts said. 

Another thing that may get your ass kicked is calling a Flyboy a Wing-Nut. Some of them don't like it.

I was entering a store the other day with my hat on, it has a USMC emblem, I held the door for the couple behind me, as the lady walked in and said thank you  her husband (must have been Navy ) said something about "Sea going bell hops". So I let the door go in his face

Hot damm, Tom, I knew you would do the right thing.  Great definition of freedom of speech and of the press.

As a Marine grunt, we called everybody else REMFs.  As long as we were in the same batallion or regiment then we would go and get drunk.  Just don't call our Corpsmen a Squid.

Corpsmen are Marines with funny ranks insignia.

LOL. Good for you Tom. He's the kind of guy who would call a stewardess flight attendant a "flying waitress". It may be funny if you're joking around with your buddies but not funny if you really mean it.
