it was kinda a revelation for me... how could something this non-toxic and pain-relieving be ILLEGAL? there are some ASSHOLES in charge of something somewhere, and i've got a fist i've been waiting for years to hit them with.

anyway, i loved the fact that in the marines, whites are a minority. (enlisted only, officers are still a part of the "system")... it seemed fair... we were on an even playing field and believe it or not, during working hours we all got along very well...

i can only speak for the unit i was in: 2/11 echo battery scout teams for the majority of the time...

i got out as a sergeant, and i still laugh at that... i could run fast and shoot straight, and thats sometimes enough to get you promoted in life...

i wonder what sun tzu would say about that?

Sun tzu would tell you that the battle was decided before you set foot on it's empty page, and that the learning of his texts was rendered moot by having uttered it, sun tzu created the ultimate pace by destroying war.
You are the scale on the breast of a dragon; your failure could devour the thing you grew from, and your sucess could easily be engulfed by the arrogance of the beast ; the failure of the acomplice.
The general is the only man alone.
