    1-Grotesque? thats too many Syllables for the US Marines I knew, you've given yourself away.

    2- Either way too stupid to realize I'm not British, so your Situational Awareness (like your knowledge of your paternal family heritage) sucks Mule Juice, Mr. douchenozzle....

    The first reply sounds a bit exaggerated. 2 Para lads coming last in a tab and they had a break to deal with a casualty and then regarding the shoot.

    The yanks love to go over the top; next they'll be calling them Special Forces next...oh wait they do, LOL.

    "A democracy cannot survive as a permanent form of government. It can last only until its citizens discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority (who vote) will vote for those candidates promising the greatest benefits from the public purse, with the result that a democracy will always collapse from loose fiscal policies, always followed by a dictatorship."
