In defense of "arcade", correct me if I'm wrong (and I likely am) but I read a book during the Korean War and they called a Marine Master Sergeant "Sarge"
and since arcade served back in the 60's to early 70's maybe they used Sarge back then??

disappointed in the conduct, appearance, leadership and competence of the Marines around me
maybe its just the reserves...but when I see many Marines unq-ing rifle ranges, failing PFTs, being overweight, sitting around doing nothing 70% of the time as a unit, cheating on the rifle range, stealing from eachother - it does not give me the impression of an "elite organization" my recruiter told me it would me.
I once considered myself above and beyond a regular US Army soldier for "earning the title Marine"
I no longer hold that point of view. I do not think that we are in any way better than the regular US Army.
But again, maybe its just the Marine Reserves. Maybe the active fleet is a lot more squared away. But I am disappointed for sure.
We had a Corporal from active duty that came in for 3 drills (3 months) and took care of me and the things I needed to be done FAR BETTER than my Staff Sergeant ever has in 2 and a half years combined. When he saw how "heinous" our unit was, he couldn't stand it and now he's gone. Back to active duty.
Yep. Thats why I'm dissappointed.

roger that.
The book I read was probably written by a civilian then. Or perhaps they did that in the 50s.

I'm sorry but I have NEVER ONCE seen videos of beheadings in the mainstream media such as CNN, FOX, CBS or whatever
if I wanted to see a video you had to go look it up.
They way I saw them was during our little 2 week summer deal a Corporal that just returned from Iraq had a DVD of them. It was nasty.

I donot think that sun would ever last very long in a good line unit weather it be grunts.arty or tanks. I do know that if I had a lcpl. like that there would be lots of 6x6x6s dug in trying to get him turned around and squars-a-way. But you can't do that today. If you do it would be mean to the little troops. Maybe that is the problem now days.

You've also forgotten the hanging bodies of American citizens on Fallujah Bridge.
Bodies of American pilots/SF being dragged through the streets of scenic downtown Mog in 1993.
The media, back in the days before 'youtube', DID show pictures of gassed Kurds and whatnot, and I recall those pics vividly.
There are other examples, but the point I make is just this; making generalized statements about things like this are bound to get ya into trouble.

It's obvious you'll need to be re-educated. And soon. Before you begin to infect others.
The black helicopters will be arriving shortly. Resistance is Futile. You will be assimilated.

By the f**king way-how come, if we invaded hadji town for the oil, the prices haven't gone down? And another f**king thing! How come when the price of a barrel of oil goes up one or two cents gas jumps 10 cents/gal. whereas when it drops several DOLLARS it doesn't affect what I'm paying for gas one red penny. Somebody riddle me that?
