RobRez 1,895 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Former Marine gets respectable job, marries a fine woman, and raises wonderful children, contributes to his community, and helpes others whenever he can. I am sure that Many of our forum members have seen him when they look in the mirror in the morning. Just thought I would point out the postitve aspect that is 99% of the Ex-Marines we will never see on the news.....unfortunately.. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thebuns1 4,323 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 i must add that no matter what branch of service men have served, the military has had an overal positive impact on the type of men it produces. and for those that have never served, many of them have turned out well. and this forum is no exception. theres a reason why i contribute to this forum. the men here are hard to beat, and most are the kind of men i would have been honored to serve with, unlike other gun forums.

shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 It's theorized that Charles Whitman had a brain tumor which caused his deplorable actions.. which is more of an excuse than Murtha had. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
