And when we send our boys out they get the job done it's just that the media doesn't give them any credit prefering instead to focus on the occasional foul up, and thus giving fodder to clueless crackers like you.
And as for the USMC being based on the west coast WHAT IN THE BLUE HELL ARE YOU SMOKING MORON,ARE YOU MIXING SOME MIND ALTERING SUBSTANCES WITH YOUR WARM GOAT PISS.
HELL KID GET DOWN FROM YOUR HIGHLAND HORSE PILE AND TELL IT TO THE MARINES WHO ARE FORWARD DEPLOYED IN IRAQ AFGHANISTAN THE PACIFIC AND ELSEWHERE, EVER HEAR OF THE MOUNTAIN WARFARE CENTER IN THE SIERRA NEVADA MOUNTAINS IN CALIFORNIA JACKASS THE USMC TRAINS THERE AS WELL AS ALASKA AND NORWAY AND ANYWAY WHATS YOUR GUIDE TO THE CORPS ANYWAY JANES DEFENSE WEEKLY, THE US FORCES IN THE QALA-I-JAHANGIR FORT MANAGED VERY WELL THEY DID NOT REPEAT NOT NEED A BUNCH OF PUBLICITY SEEKING HANGERS ON TRYING TO TAKE UNDUE CREDIT, GIVE ME SOME OTHER VERIFIABLE SOURCES OTHER THAN THE LIL'LIMEY GUTTER PRESS REGARDING THE CMOH
BTW it isn't winter commiting disease its winter vomiting disease, the fact that you didn't find out about it was either because you didn't look hard enough or because your just plain stupid the latter is more likely, the blue on blue regarding the canadians has nothing to do with this you just brought it up for no reason, as far as heroic sacrifices go hmm.. why not just destroy the gear like any other sensible fighting force..instead of it falling into tango hands on or two anti tank missles on the land rovers would have done nicely-but oh yeah your lads probably forgot to bring any.
And as far as arming "terrorists" go HAH one of those so called terrorists is a guy called Hamid Karzai the current president of Afghanistan, get yourself an educfation kid it'll do wonders for you

And i'm a boy eh? look kiddo you were born in 1988 i was born in 81 you porridge munching pansy so i know something more of life,plus the fact that i've got friends and family in the military,y'dig so i don't consider myself a pro cuz i play a bunch of video games all day.
Christ youre knowledge of the USMC is worse than youre knowledge of American geography.
Ever hear of the blue ridge mountains or Appalachia,can i myself get to 11thousand feet or beyond no can you?
i'm sure you can't either but hell at least i don't pretend,
first of all haggis breath the RM ain't a corps it's a brigade with supporting elements(hell i know more about them than you) no surprises there,
the USMC being stationed on the west coast man oh man you really are smoking something ever hear of camp lejuene in north carolina or quantico in virginia. And while we are on the subject of education it's ...
1. corps not core(want an argument fine but get your friggin spellings right)
2.there are a couple of placesoutside the west coast called Afghanistan and Iraq, where the USMC and other forces are engaged,as opposed to sitting on their asses like a bunch of REMF's(that's a limey specialty) in southern iraq
3.RM is not more elite..were did you get that idea from..some dumbassed book or the other ,or did you talk to some idiot in a highland pisshole who claimed to be a bootneck,
tell a force recon marine he is less elite and he'll use his K-BAR to teach you a whole new recipe for haggis this time using youre entrails,
tell it to a leatherneck part of a MEU(SOC) AND GOD HELP YOU .
If you knew jack you would know that neither the RM nor the USMC debate about who is better cuz the bootnecks know that the USMC has seen far more action than they have in both Afghanistan and Iraq e.g. Falluja,Al Kut,Nasiriyah etc.
Give me the proof that i asked for about the CMOH (that's congressional medal of honor) being awarded to the SBS member.
Hell we've been marching all over the terrain in Afghanistan day to day at altitudes of 10 to 15 thousand feet if you didn't know then your ignorance is your own problem.
And no kid i'm not comparing you to Andy McNab that would be an insult to him,
he has been there and done that, you are just another gum munching..video games playing sk8erboy kid who thinks he is hard cuz he plays doom or something, and to think i've agonized over the education system in the staes sheesh.

Most of your information is so out of whack that it's practically one big hoot
,i am not questioning the combat proficiency of either the SBS or mountain cadre i unlike you know what i'm talking about,yeah so you go canoeing i go mountain climbing and trekking,and you really haven't disputed any of my points.
The reason most people haven't tried to figure you out is cuz you are probably too laughable to them to be figured out, i'm older which means i'm wiser i check my facts and then post you'd do well to do the same

you have to do basic training first the forces in any country just don't let any civilian on to their base and do training unless they are proficient in some specialty, so what you are saying is just pure BS

What you seem to forget is that numbers aren't everything in modern warfare. The U.S. has superior technology, which will, believe me, quickly even the odds.
Other than that, in the event of a true threat to American culture, (ie an invasion) The U.S. has 291 Million soldiers.

If I give you one X-M8 rilfe and get you to face off against say 50 guys with AK-47's, you shuld have the tech advantage right?
Sorry but no, even with tech numbers still make up a large part of the forces.
Why do you think the US military is so big?
You cant train 291 million soldiers in a few weeks.

Our Navy had and has tech too kid, we were the FIRST to put Advanced Sonar and= MRI Imaging on our SUBS back in the 70's so don't believe these reports about our sub tech was old/ AKLULA is qieter than LOS AMGELES Class your SeaWolf is now 2005 the most advanced in the world, but don't worry I'm sure we got something for that.

No, but the U.S. wouldn't put themselves into a situation like that. They use technology against numbers without risking soldiers' lives.
You also can't adequately train soldiers when your government has no money and if the soldiers aren't motivated to fight.

Sorry If my spelling decreases due to the speed I am writeing at.
Most of your information is so out of whack that it's practically one big hoot
Really?
,i am not questioning the combat proficiency of either the SBS or mountain cadre i unlike you know what i'm talking about,yeah so you go canoeing i go mountain climbing and trekking,and you really haven't disputed any of my points.
How have I not, you are questioning the combat ability and proficiency of the SBS and mountain cadre, wasnt it you who quoted the "shaky boat service" quote?
I do a bit more than canoeing and mountain climbing and trekking.
The reason most people haven't tried to figure you out is cuz you are probably too laughable to them to be figured out, i'm older which means i'm wiser i check my facts and then post you'd do well to do the same
I check my facts to, also you say your wiser, wiser to what?
Are you as wise as say a special forces operative?
Are you as wise as a martial arts expert?
Also People have tried to analyse me , for the purpose of trying to debunk everything I do or say.
Also how is it laughable to call a marine core good?

Lets see, SBS operatives become proficient in kayacking and canoeing to a high level I have done some of this and it is hard.
Also forces get trained in weapon training I have done some of this, not to the same level but I have done some of it.
I also have also done boat handling training on high speed raiding boats, like most boat forces, not to the same level ofcourse.
They dont let us go right up to tankers or anything.

You need to learn other things in the military apart from running, shooting and marching.
No they dont but I have done the training as specified above and can provide proof if you want.
