HAHAHAH Hilarious......I was a Marine in the 80's my serial number was my social security number which I will not give HAHA and regardless of rank, job or duty ALL MARINES are a rifleman first and foremost.....
Over here when we watch war movies they always seem to include "Name, rank and serial number"
I remember watching 'Von Ryan's Express' which starred Frank Sinatra.
Stiff upper British and the Yankee (no offence meant at that word) in the camp who sets cat amongst the pigeons.
Great film, even my eldest daughter watches it with me and still cry at the end.
Anyway once again I salute you and thank you for the service you and all those who were and are willing to put their lives on the line for freedom.
If ever you get a chance watch Blackadder goes forth. Very funny.
