Are you saying that you have seen one doing something cerebral?

Yes. I have a good friend in the Marines who kicks ass in chess. And if you talked that kind of smack to him, he'd stab you with his broadsword until you disappeared in a flash of light and sparkles.

I humbly apologize. However the description must remain, as altering it now would be tantamount to denying my mistake.

I've seen Marines kick ass at Magic: The Gathering too. For that matter, I had somebody in my high school (with a kick-ass GPA I must add) who joined the Marines within months of the war starting.

He got killed in an ambush during his first weeks of training. So these five stars go in memory of that lad.

Giant lava monster is the better ad though.

Seriously though, tactical combat is not exactly the antithesis of cerebral. It's kind of annoying when people imply that war is a bunch of dumb jocks throwing sticks at each other.

You could change it to something about marines being whiny little princesses.

Seriously though, willingly taking part in a stand-up fight is pretty much the opposite of smart behavior.

I hate invoke Godwin's Law but...

If there were any marines around then there would be a string of hilarious "come to Iraq and I'll show you cerebral you little faggot" comments and it would be great but there aren't so we'll just have to settle for anime fans talking about marines that they once knew.

I was going to say "drunk LARPING gone too far" but SCA works too :)

The Army are the pawns, duh. The Marines are the knights, the Navy are the rooks, and the Air Force are a bunch of sissies.

Condoleeza Rice ring a bell FUCKER! Condoleeeeezzzza!
