Leatherneck is a sobriquet given to Marines. When doing battle aboard ships, Marines wore a leather collar around their necks so the enemy couldn't lop off their heads w/ a cutlass.

Joint,

You are not worthy of commenting in our thread.
This is a restricted area for Marines and veterans. Parrot your right-wing Rush Limpbaugh drivel in one of the other draft-dodgers treads or get some guts and climb into the cockpit and start dropping some snakes on your enemy. You can't bomb them from your mom & dad's home in Peoria.

Semper Fi,

Lt. Dan

I find it very interesting that jointpleasures makes mention of using an F16 to drop a bomb and then bingbangboom it happens! Someone one of intelligence must be reading my posts.

Lt. dan, question.

What would the modern day army, navy, airforce, marines, or national guard want with a man nearly forty who has illusion of physical invincibility and a psychopathic tendency, once provoked, to destroy the opponent?
