Happy Birthday, USMC

Lt. Col. Jeffrey "Jay" Goodes just led the CNAS celebration of the Marine Corps Birthday, and Abu Muqawama salutes all the leathernecks celebrating downrange in Iraq and Afghanistan. In honor of the Marine Corps, we now present Gunny Highway versus the Swede. In Italian. Which somehow makes Heartbreak Ridge even more awesome.

It feels appropriate to follow this salute with one of a Marine punching Homer Simpson in the face in Czech .

Respect to all Marines past

Respect to all Marines past and present. For all the Rugby fans, check out these Iranian girls skills: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL0dZ6Kojbg

Oh, man, that's depressing.

Oh, man, that's depressing. That one girl kicks a better drop goal than I was kicking last weekend. But they could hit the rucks a little harder.

That movie had its history

That movie had its history backasswards but it was awesome entertainment and a good memento of American Culture at that point in history.

People complain about it but it is hard not to love it

Gunny Highway and the Onion.

Gunny Highway and the Onion. That settles it. Forget the war colleges, I want to go to Top Level School at CNAS.

Heartbreak Ridge would be a

Heartbreak Ridge would be a classic movie if it chose any other conflict than Panama as it's kick- ass finale. Panama wasn't a war, it was a dirty little massacre. I loved it at the time though. Re. Iranian rugby, I think they were playing League or 7's, not Union, hence the lightweight rucks/ scrums.

Eskimo pussy is mighty cold

Consider this: It's up to you
To squeeze real hard, and get a clue

A contest this is surely not
for your remembrance is surely squat

Panama, the Root, the missions are many
On to the Yugos, the medals are plenty

At this point, I'll try to be candid
Twas Cubans in Grenada, the recon boys outdid
