I've found this is a good poem for when I'm feeling like a little bitch.

D.H. Lawrence

Self-Pity

I never saw a wild thing

sorry for itself

A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough

without ever having felt sorry for itself

That's pretty badass you were a marine.

You guys gonna hug now? Big Smile from one of the greatest characters ever, Master Gunny Sergeant Hartmann

If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human, fucking beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit. Because I am hard you will not like me. But the more you hate me the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair. There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps. Do you maggots understand that?

Who said that? Who the fuck said that? Who's the slimy little communist shit, twinkle-toed cocksucker down here who just signed his own death warrant? Nobody, huh? The fairy fucking godmother said it. Out-fucking-standing. I will PT you all until you fucking die. I'll PT you until your assholes are sucking buttermilk.

Today... is Christmas! There will be a magic show at zero-nine-thirty! Chaplain Charlie will tell you about how the free world will conquer Communism with the aid of God and a few marines! God has a hard-on for marines because we kill everything we see! He plays His games, we play ours! To show our appreciation for so much power, we keep heaven packed with fresh souls! God was here before the Marine Corps! So you can give your heart to Jesus, but your ass belongs to the Corps! Do you ladies understand?

US Marines - "never leave your buddy's behind"

If that's a joke then it's a lame one. If it ain't a joke, then it's completely out of line.

I like Gunny Highway. Good quotes there too

That joke is not lame or completely out of line.

Tradenator - you're confused. That's the Navy...

Bloodninja - since you brought it up... "I'm mean, tired and nasty. I eat concertine wire and piss napalm. Now, quit humpin' my leg dogface before I push yours in."
