right because taking what i said out of context and putting words in my mouth was simply brilliant.

they would not being standing there if they did not get paid. you pay them. if they were not standing there and getting paid anyways this would be a thread about how they can't stand around in a hurricane to provide a symbol of dedication to the nation. that's all. i'm proud of them too.

It is the 3rd Infantry Regiment, which is part of the Army, not the Marine Corps.

and it is Marines, not marines. and it is Corps, not core.

Ya, the details matter.

they volunteered knowing there was a chance they would go to those places. most people don't volunteer to live a life in squalor.

then i should be more amazed that they volunteered to go to those places then i should be by them standing guard. so by this logic, them standing guard isn't such a big deal when this thread should be about the people on patrol in afghanistan right now. i'm sure if you asked these fellows if they would rather stand on guard in torrential rain, or risk stepping on a pressure plate in afghanistan, they'd probably pick standing guard. so why again should i care about these guys standing guard in the rain and wind?

Its not mainly Marines. It's equal parts all four branches, and is ran by the Army's 3rd IR (aka Old Guard). And it is mainly enlisted personnel, but no rank is worn at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

As a Marine, I remember volunteering for this duty about 6 times in 8 years, but never made it past the application process. These men (and now women I believe) take this duty very seriously, and regardless of whether or not this photo was taken in September or not, 21 steps were taken at all sentry changes, on any day, regardless of conditions.

Thats Honor!

I really don't expect you to understand it.

Standing guard over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a mark of the respect that we have for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. It is the same reason that many of us do not view Memorial day and NOV 11th as holidays, or simply a day off from school or work, like many these days do.
My guess is that many of the things that we do, would not seem like 'such a big deal' to you, but are to us.

The fact that the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier has been continuously guarded by the 3rd Infantry Regiment since 1948.

have people forgotten that the US military extends beyond the Marine Corps?

It is, and always has been the U.S Army that guards the tomb. To guard it, you must be a member of the 3rd US Infantry Regiment and ace the training.


Not knocking the Marines by any means, but they do not do everything in the military.

No interest in commenting on the general shitstorm here, but I would like to take a moment to bask in the majesty of your awfulness. You have absolutely run away with Worst Member. Literally everything you take the time to post lands squarely at idiocy ground zero.

I am proud of all of the first responders who were out working to rescue people in the midst of the "frankenstorm."

Especially the firefighters in New York who worked in the middle of it to try and put out the fire spreading through Breezy point. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/10/31/14817184-devastated-ny-community-built-by-firefighters-burned-beyond-their-reach?lite

dude, america is a liberal democracy.

liberal democracies have fascist tendencies

that doesn't make them communist

fascism is a reaction to liberalism but ends up only being an extension of it plus some nationalism and enforced morality

whereas communism is revolutionary

it aims to transform the mode of production and the social relations that arise from it

An opinion is something you choose, normally by looking at options then deciding which ones suit you best. You ask if you are allowed an opinion or not, yet this thread is about being proud of your nation. How can you have an opinion about which nation is better, when nobody can choose which nation they come from in the first place?

No difference to racism.

Do you think the founding fathers would have voted for Obama disregarding he was blac. Do you think soldiers in the civil war would vote for Obama. How about ww1 www2 Korean war and Vietnam. They would think he was a disgrace a danger to the American ideal and every thing they fought for. Millions died protecting the American ideal only to have it overshadowed by apology tours Most people believe there kids will be worse off then they are what kind of American dream is that? The founders though out dated knew that the republic would be high jacked by freeloaders once they realized that they could vote to get more free shit. They put in place a Claus that would only allow landowners to vote preventing the hostile take over by freeloaders. Poor people you do not have a say in government nor should you if are too stupid to rise through the class system.

Why they restricted women from voting to. The founders were smart men and realized that women are better at making sandwiches than choices

How old are you?
They didn't put kn place a Claus to prevent freeloaders you fucking idiot. Back then those were the only people allowed to vote because they were the only ones who had power and respect and it was just an offshoot of the landed royalty system in every other form of govt. In the world. What you are referring to is "plural voting" which never was instituted because they realized that the Roch people would get richer and the poor people would stay poor (fun.y how that worked out)

And honestly you're just spouting the right wing bullshit I have to see on Facebook every day. Like fucking Christ you really think Obama is the root of all these problems? Also the fact that you called America Marxist just shows how little you actually know. Please gtfo and quit making threads political because you just look likes humbling idiot in all of them.
