I'm sorry Teufel , I thought I did capitalize Marines.
okay, I'm going to stop posting then. I've been trying to be civil ever since I got on this board I've apologized every time I fucked up or over stepped my bounds. But I guess that's just more reason for you guys to jump me. It's cool whatever someone close this thread. I changed my topic just like everyone suggested.
I un-deleted my original response to this thread so you could read it (post #16). Do whatever topic you want, but back off on the attitude some. You got caught up short, you manned up to it, now put it behind you and move on. I would personally like to see a paper on Marine infantrymen, because I don't think they get enough credit as it is, and I don't think most Americans realize the sacrifices those young men make for our country. If you've been intimidated out of doing that topic, I can think of a half-dozen intel types on the board you can talk to, but our stories are a whole lot less interesting...
There are many people on the site who had a rocky beginning, but no one remembers it or holds it against them now. Where you go from here is up to you.
