In re the story of A Marine's Girl, Len Clevelin over at Musings of a Philosophical Scrivener has been having his own issues with the suppression-of-speech crowd. Seems Len posted a humourous screed (which has been around in one form or another since I was an Ensign...and that's a while ago), anyhow someone who obviously never got any closer to military service than their Playstation 2 got really, really offended by it and called him treasonous.
Unfortunately for them, Len is an ex-Navy JAG officer, not easily intimidated, and more than willing to give it back to them, I do believe. Go read the screed, drop a few comments in his comment box to let future chickenbloggers know that they need to get a life. Some of it is such inside humor, that without knowing the kinds of folks it was makiing fun of, you wouldn't get it in a million years...which proves it has to be an offended chickenhawk, someone who never pushed back from their game console except for a head call and more chips.
Someone remind me again about that pesky damn document...what is it again, The Constitution? Oh, good I thought that was just a ship.

Thanks for the link -- poignant reminder of my '60's service in Germany. Talk about unpatriotic -- the stupidity of these chickenhawks is pathetic as well as unpatriotic.

Yep, the complainers are a buncha dipsticks.
I, on the other hand, embarrassed myself something awful, bursting out as I did in snorky noises of amusement right there in the middle of the office.
That was a good one!
