Hey Gyrenes, is this true and should Marines become martyrs?
70 VIRGINS.......:banana: :marine:
Sgt Grit
I have avid reader of your newsletter for the last couple
of years. A thought has crossed my mind that I don't fully
understand. All these Middle Eastern homicide bombers
believe that in dying as a martyr they will go to Heaven
and be welcomed by 70 virgins. Now according to the Marines
Hymn, the streets are guarded by United States Marines.
I can't believe there are 70 virgins left in all of Heaven,
much less for each Islamic martyr.
