Indeed, only the herd, state approved opinion is to be spoken/written--the party line--all differing opinions and those naughty enough to post them on a Marine board, are morons, traitors, etc.<BR/><BR/>Not so at Gunny G's...--like the sign out front says, "For Thinking Marines"!<BR/><BR/>Semper Fidelis<BR/>Dick Gaines<BR/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Gunny Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11678125250191991958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5301895.post-34042550993803467772007-07-23T15:43:00.000-04:002007-07-23T15:43:00.000-04:00Good Afternoon Gunny....I've just recently come ac...Good Afternoon Gunny....I've just recently come across your blog and have enjoyed reading the many comments and topics that you cover. I am writing to you today in regards to you article about "ex-Marines". While I am no where near close to you in terms of "Old Corps", (I served from '76-'98), I am a Marine, and as most Marines, I do have an opinion. While I agree with you that there is nothing wrong with the term "ex" Marine, it does tend to conjur the image of a Marine who has done something dishonest or dishonorable. However, that being said, I am not one of those who corrects people who use the term "ex". I prefer the use of the word "former", but again...that is just personal preference. You've got a great site going here. Please...keep up the good work as I will be checking in from time to time. I will be adding your blog to my "favorites". Semper Fi Marine! P.S.
