I don't believe this is off-topic since it is historical and involves millions of Americans who fought in America's wars--specifically the Korean War!  The topic will change focus but do remember that the more things change the more they remain the same.   I don't detect

mis-information in the emails I've read no more than I do from my two brothers who served in the Korean War.  We argue all the time over fine points and details and we find it has brought us closer together than ever before.  We're friends now.

Mandy, there was a time when we might - and often - did try to settle with our fists the argument about which arm of the service was the best. We are old guys now, and our arguments are done with our typing fingers. But such arguments will persist as long as there are separate branches, and as long as there are men who are proud of their branch of service.

You are quite right, it is in bad taste. Your admitting it doesn't improve the taste.

I was responding to a slur on the honor and  the patriotism of the United States Army. I shall continue to respond to such comments. It is wrong to cast a slur, it is right to respond to a slur.

 

If the Marines are so great, how come they don't have a football team instead of carrying water for Annapolis?
