Mosi thank you for your service. It means a ton to me. I know many former Marines and all of them are great men. I wish I could say I was one of you.[/b]
No need to thank me (although it's appreciated), thank all the hard chargers that are picking sand out of their asses. I never got the chance since I went to boot camp a couple of weeks after the first Gulf War started and it ended too quickly.[/b]
I highly recommend a book I just finished, Generation Kill by Evan Wright. The author rode with Recon Marines who were the tip of the spear during the Iraq invasion. Amazing reading. In fact, those idiots on the Berkeley council should be forced to read it.

I'm nowhere near California but would discourage anyone from spending a dime anywhere in Berkeley. The city elected those freaks, and if the city is shunned and made to suffer economically, maybe they'll vote them out of office.

About removing the earmarks, that's all fine and good, but who introduced such ridiculous crap into the budget to begin with?
