I just think of them being another component of the Department of the Navy.

Well, a lot of Marines have been dying in Iraq, and coming home badly wounded too.  

I would not call any of these servicemen or women stupid, even if they do come home in a box.

Then you will note it was the video that said the "stupid" remark, not me.  Thus, my post had quotes around it.

So you think that it is OK to put down soldiers and veterans of the US Army who have fought in Iraq???

One of my friends has a son a year older than my boy, and he joined the Army right out of High School.   He got put into one of the new Stryker equipped Brigades ( 3rd Brigade, Second Army Division ), and came within a week of finishing a full year long tour in Iraq.

After surviving two previous IED attacks on his Stryker vehicle with only minor injuries ( he got a Purple Heart from one of them ), he lost his left arm in the third one just days before he was to go home.   ( 2 men in the Stryker behind his in the convoy died from the blast )  He spent almost two years in the hospital and rehab, and is now attending the University of Oregon at the government's expense.  

So I don't consider comments like the one in the video about losing limbs to go to college at all funny.   The video is in very poor taste, in my opinion.

My friend went through a living hell worrying about his son.  He was worried sick about him the whole year he was in Iraq, and you can imagine how upset he was when his boy got wounded.  

Sorry, but this is not a subject to laugh about.  At least not for me.
