Mods are supposed to keep the peace and weed out crap like that, not incite a flaming war. They they turn and call us classless.

Do you mean Aqwaaaah's nemasis PP? When I went back saw it right away. I wonder if he'll ban Aqua immediatly?It has something to do with a certain poster in that thread whom we all miss terribly over here!
Danny Boy I remember seeing his name early on. I wonderd where he went.
No he'll be indearing himself to the crowd by running his Kraft is cheap line,and telling them that will be our downfall. And that he's glad to be associated with an owner that puts money first. (Step right up and by a peice of history ,by your own Colts SB ring)
Back off on the Airman there, chief!
A lot of us spent time right there up front with the ground pounders. Don't hate us because we scored better on the ASVAB!
That said, there are distinct differences between the branches:
If you tell a Marine officer to “secure the building,” but give him no more instruction, he will plan an assault. His troops will come in from two perpendicular directions, preceded by mortar and artillery fire, with F-18s flying close air support overhead. They will rain destruction on the structure, and then under the concealment of smoke, move into the building with two platoons, clearing each room of the building with grenades and bursts of small arms fire. When every room has been cleared they will go to the roof and raise a flag. Then the Marine officer will return and declare that the building has been secured.
If you tell an Army officer to “secure the building,” he will lead his men to the building, they will enter it and start knocking out the windows. Filling each opening with sandbags, they will surround the structure with barbed wire and claymores (these are directional command detonated mines). He will personally emplace his machineguns in the best locations to cover the “likely avenues of enemy approach,” and after 24 hours the structure will be fit to hold off an attack from a force three times the size of the Army unit inside. He will then report that the building has been secured.
If you tell a Navy officer to “secure the building,” he shuts down the computers, spins the dial on the lock of the file cabinet, turns off the lights and locks the front door.
If you tell an Air Force officer to “secure the building,” he looks it up on Google Maps, gets his contracting agent, and heads down to the local real estate agent where he takes out a 20 year lease with an option to buy.
