Straight up, if you don't drink, you're weird in my book.

If you don't do it, there's a reason for it, and that reason strays from the norm IMO.

I drink because I like the taste of it, and I like the way it makes me feel.

I like to have fun too.

Men, since the beginning of time, have drank, fought, and made up afterwards.

While men and women have make up sex, men and men have fights and makeup drinks.

If sex is the mediator between men and women, then alcohol is the mediator between men and men.

FACT

It is as normal for two men to drink as it for a man and a woman to screw.

So, if you're a man and you don't drink, then you are along the lines of a chick who won't put out.

Loving that analogy.

I'm thinking Tracheotomy man wouldn't do so well in conditioning challenges.

The Army and the Marine Corps, and occasionally, to a lesser extent the USAF and USN, don't recruit tough men. We recruit men with the potential for toughness and then lead them, train them, drive them and inspire them to toughness.

We live in a world in which pretend tough guys, millionaire sports stars (including fighters) and actors, get treated like the real thing. Meanwhile we know guys that have been packing heat for Uncle Sam for 30 fucking years and fighting dirty little wars in every nasty corner of the planet and they get treated like shit.

I sort of agree with you.

However, there are cases of some men just being inherently bad muthafuckers.

Dan Daly is one of them.

I was thinking once of starting a thread entitled:

"MuthaFu** your conditioning"

Dec221968







When I was a RIP instructor, I had all of my future Recon Marines memorize this story. Nobody knows if this story is true or not, but even if it's an urban legend, it's added fuel to my fire in the past.



Anyone ever heard Major General Wayne Rollings? He did 40,000 continuous, elbow to opposite knee situps in 1981. The reason he had to stop was because the concrete was cutting into his skin so badly that it drew blood that wouldn't coagulate because of the constant reopening of the abrasions.

They made him stop at 40,000.

Two years prior to this, he set a record of like 36,000, and then the next year, some Russian military guy beat him by like 2k, then Rollings beat him again the next year.

He's a former Recon guy from Vietnam too.

You really ARE new to this posting on the Internet thing aren't you?

Well, My point is, us men don't only have strong bodys, but we also strong minds.
If your mind is so weak that you are tricked by the propaganda from the tobacco company, then that is a slap in the face for your man hood.
However, no one here is even caring about ridiculous s%#t like this and neither am I.
But good try at keeping thing remotely interesting about an old joke.

This turned serious all of a sudden.

Off topic: One thing I'll never understand is ricking the lives of men just to bring back the bodies of dead soldiers. I just don't get it.

One death may turn into many.

And from a military resources point of view, it's a completely irrational.

Always wondered that. Maybe someone here can explain it to me.
