You might be a Marine if..........

Throughout my short career in the Marines you look back and find yourself in some unique situations (to say the least). After remembering those events I came up with the below phrases that I have seen that start with “ You might be a Marine if”

Its going to get busy -We will succeed. We will win our nations battles. That’s why they call us Marines.

Do we have issues within the US? Yes. Could they get worse, hell yes. With all of the unrest that is currently transcribing within the world especially the Middle East we need to pay attention and continue the offensive but we aren’t to the degree we need to be at.

Dear bad guys -America does not make deals with terrorists.

Four Americans Killed on Yacht Hijacked by Somali Pirates

This is why we tell you not to go to these locations. You are not invisible and these people sit up late at night thinking of ways to kill you. Life is general and especially yours, means nothing to them. I was hoping for a safe recovery of these Americans and hoped they would be rescued but as I said you are in big trouble traveling to these locations and this includes Mexico.

Dear bad guys -America does not make deals with terrorists.

Dear bad guys-

If you can’t read and none of your erratic leaders told you the nobrainer, America does not make deals with terrorists. Dropping a few scum bag pirates with head shots from a sea moving deck while you detain fellow Americans doesn’t constitute “making a deal” because there is no deal. Its call you get dead and you won’t even hear the gun shot.

Do not take them for granted!

When anyone that does a job or career that is a public service to this country being military or police officer, fireman etc and they gamble the idea that they may not come home from their days work, those are the ones America needs to remember and appreciate.
