.surprised it took that long to air its ugly head.

Inventing another saying, eh?  I mean, I know your head airs up, but I've never heard someone refer to others' doing the same...
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Here's your original claim. Case you forgot.
QuoteAll the people in this thread going on about how it's perfectly normal to pee on dead bodies because of the stress of war.

Who are those people?  I don't see anyone arguing that, other than Neil, and Neil doesn't count since his posts are all trolls.

I wasnt thinking Neil.
For starters I'd say 11B4V; CCR; VAlmy; CDM.

Well, you beat the stuffing out of that straw man!  Well-done.  You, too, are a hero!

Ah yes, the "Straw-Man" defence...surprised it took that long to air its ugly head. Waiting for the "marines are Nazis" to come up soon.

Please point out where I said this was normal.

Well you didn't come out and say it but you certainly implied that you support what they did.

So now it's implied....poor attempt at "The languish Two Step". I implied nothing of the sort. Most of my posts were talking about Court Martials. Get it right Asshat.

CCR:
QuoteI have to admit that these guys do indeed deserve to get bounced from The Corps

Valmy:
QuoteWell when you are brutalized you do fucked up things.

CDM:
QuoteI for one am glad that those Marines are not only fighting and killing the people who would want to support Al Qaeda and kill me, but they're pissing on their corpses as well.

Sounds like "All the people in this thread" is, in fact, just one guy.

This is the first I have heard of a "straw man defense."  Whose defending what with it, and how is it "air[ing] its ugly head?"  The "marines are Nazis" thing just came up... from you.  I must admit that I haven't heard that one before.  Heard 'em called lots of things (hell, called 'em lots of things) but not Nazis.

Don't worry.  No one reading with any care for meaning mistook what you said for anything like approval.

FWIW, grumbler, I would've approved of you pissing overboard on the Russkies, but it probably wouldn't have had the same effect.

Is this where I am supposed to whip out the "I've pissed more salt water than you've sailed over" line?

I always loved that line, even when my chiefs used it on me.

Not as good as the line the Marine DI used on me:

DI:  Did YOU polish YOUR SHOES?

Me:  YES, DRILL SERGEANT!

DI:  With WHAT?  DOG SHIT?

I laughed, and we all ran around the drill field for half an hour.

Gotta love the Gyrenes.
