That is totally uncalled for. That's like saying Warren Buffet does nothing but buy and sell pieces of paper but he makes billions. This is not a thread about anything other than heroism, not capitalism bashing. Read this before you make comments like that.

Another broken Obama campaign process. At least the ones there, there are shining examples such as Cpl. Meyer that are the embodiment of everything the Marines stand for.

Corporal Dunham showed that spirit in April 2004, while leading a patrol of his Marines in an Iraqi town near the Syrian border. When a nearby Marine convoy was ambushed, Corporal Dunham led his squad to the site of the attack, where he and his men stopped a convoy of cars that were trying to make an escape. As he moved to search one of the vehicles, an insurgent jumped out and grabbed the Corporal by the throat. The Corporal engaged the enemy in hand-to-hand combat. At one point he shouted to his fellow Marines, "No, no, no, watch his hand." Moments later, an enemy grenade rolled out. Corporal Dunham did not hesitate; he jumped on the grenade to protect his fellow Marines, he used his helmet and his body to absorb the blast.
A friend who was there that terrible day put it this way: "Corporal Dunham had a gift from God. Everyone who came in contact with him wanted to be like him. He was the toughest Marine, but the nicest guy. He would do anything for you. Corporal Dunham was the kind of person everybody wants as their best friend." Despite surviving the initial blast and being given the best of medical care, Corporal Dunham ultimately succumbed to his wounds. And by giving his own life, Corporal Dunham saved the lives of two of his men and showed the world what it means to be a Marine. Corporal Dunham's mom and dad are with us today on what would have been this brave young man's 25th birthday. We remember that the Marine who so freely gave his life was your beloved son. (Applause.) We ask a loving God to comfort you for a loss that can never be replaced. And on this special birthday, in the company of his fellow Marines, I'm proud to announce that our nation will recognize Corporal Jason Dunham's action with America's highest decoration for valor, the Medal of Honor. (Applause.)
As long as we have Marines like Corporal Dunham, America will never fear for her liberty."
this is the story about marine cpl jason dunham

Personally, I have friends that were in the marines, friends that are currently in the army and navy, and I lost my congressman's recommendation to Anapolis when he was replaced which pissed me off. Up until I left to go to Central America I was planning on going into the Marines Corps officer training. I have since worked with many US forces in central america including a brig. general who is a close personal friend, has received 7 purple hears (around that) been blown up twice, lost half of one leg, half his face, multiple woulds, can barely walk, has like 3 silver stars, basically a walking kill machine. I understand the people who have family and friends over there and their anger and to people who have lost loved ones over there I can appreciate their anger as well. But I think their memories and their contribution is best served right now by support and appreciation. The troops are there because of the government. I think racism against people over there is uncalled for, since it is a very very minute minority that are really causing the problems. You can't blame troops of any nation for following orders. You can's really blame the people who were brain washed by religious zealots to suicide bomb. They believe in what they do. Us, we believe in the responsible growing and use of marijuana. Would you get mad if some group of people said "hilter all the marijuana supporters?" Of course you would. Just something to think about.
