    The Marines…It’s not just a way of life, it’s a state of mindlessness.

    This kind of thing has been going on for a long time. When I enlisted in the Navy in 1975, I was promised all manner of leisure and “fun” stuff. It was dishonest then and it’s even more so now in light of the current state of the world.

    My first day at book camp the sign read: lead, follow or get the hell out of the way.  Bush has done neither.

    Its a sad shame but I saw on ABC news how recruiters do lie about wars just to get high school students. Hopefully people will see how even in cartoons most Americans are not buying the lies.
