Knowing grammar makes me smurt!

Mentioned earlier that I talked to my brother. We talked about war and the stories he's heard from his platoon that has recently returned from Afghanistan. Talked about the difference between a jarhead overseas and the Army overseas. I couldn't believe how retarded the Army is. Wounded soldiers being kicked off the vehicles because being shot made them useless. And Marines coming across these poor Army guys and bringing them along. It's impossible for me to understand a mentality that doesn't involve "No Man Left Behind." That has been drilled into my head. That's just crazy! Then you've got the crazy stories people believe in other countries about Marines. The Japanese, for example, believe that in order to become a Marine you must raise a puppy and then kill and eat it! Whereas the Iraqis (and other Stans) believe that in order to become a family member, you must kill a family member!! And this is stuff these folks come up with on their own.

Well it is June 20th. I don't really feel anything.
