Default Marine Corps to be disbanded: Will replace by Care Bears.

http://www.duffelblog.com/2012/06/1s...ges-unit-logo/


Quote:
***8220;As we all know, First Marine Division***8217;s official motto is ***8216;No better friend, no worse enemy,***8217;***8221; said spokesman 1st Lt. Alex Lim during a news conference. ***8220;But we want to put more emphasis on the ***8216;better friend***8217; part.***8221;

The division***8217;s logo***8212;famous for its blue diamond, red number one, and branded Guadalcanal***8212;will be replacing the name of one of America***8217;s most famous battles with a less threatening noun: Utopia. It will also have a more pleasant background instead of the dark and intimidating blue color of years past.

***8220;We just wanted to let the world know that while our organization may primarily deal in warfare, that egalitarian society we all dream of is still within our grasp and can be won by the gentle and loving hearts of the Marines in this division,***8221; added Lim. ***8220;By replacing the name of a bygone battle with our hope for the future, we can show the world that we truly are your best friends forever.***8221;


Quote:
***8220;In fact, we***8217;re certain that a Marine handing out hugs and smiles can do a lot more for the world than one handing out an archaic notion of violence.***8221;
-1st Lt. Alex Lim
How is this person even a Marine?

Then again we don't wan't people to get the wrong idea about America, just imagine if we had logos like these:



you know the logos our enemies use...



[yes this is a joke]

This has to be a joke but I know several Marines who I will thoroughly enjoy teasing the heck out of with this.

Rilder you owe me a keyboard, at LEAST !


Well you know the german army only was in Afghanistan to build schools and help the poor.
At least that is what we could read in our phantastic media. I wonder what the parents of the killed soldiers have to say about that.

And our "head of the state" Mr Koehler had to leave his office when he dared to say that German's economy will also use miltary to secure resources worldwide.

It is all about the official doublespeak, you know there are recycling parks instead scrap- or junkyards etc. etc.

The friendly killer, nothing personal you know

Now if the OP had cited "Royal Marines or Household Cavalry to be disbanded" I may have believed that

To be fair, Obama has been pretty hawkish; even by far right standards. Can't say that I care for it, but it has been the truth.
