58,209 Americans gave their lives in Vietnam. What did lesson R. Lee Ermey?
What unfinished business did we leave in Fallujah?
Boys, the Americans have left. Now go out and play….

Actually Montana Guy, those 58,000 Americans did not “give” their lives in Vietnam. They were doing their best to hold onto their lives.
They had their lives taken from them, against their will. In too many cases by U.S. bombing and artillery mistakes.
I took the body of a 19 year-old Marine back to his family in 1969. His life was torn from his hands, which were wrapped in gauze, as he lay in the coffin, to hide the wounds from shrapnel.
Gunny Ermey has his opinions. Other Marines beg to differ.
Carry on
We used to watch mail call and some other stuff that R. Lee Ermey was in. As a little girl my daughter was surprisingly fond of his gruff persona. I think she kind of wanted him to be her grandfather.
She was also fond of some of my gruffer friends. It was an interesting dynamic.
