If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I was an electronics technician who maintained and repaired the equipment. Yeah, the combat controllers are the little-known hard-core bad-asses of the Air Force. As a military service, we were most known for pushing buttons which make things go bang at a distance outside the range where our opponents could attack us. The combat controllers are ground-pounders who go into enemy territory and direct strikes. Most people don't even know they exist.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

So much pogue in this joint. Anybody looking to buy m&ms, a pack of reds..or slightly used combatant paraphernalia?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Ah, track toad. The new Kong is part of the new daikaiju universe. ("Monarch" universe?) It's a good monster movie. You may go crazy during the helo fight, however. |
