It was decades ago.

The Soviet Union would never allow a seaman on their deck. Did you guys know that? It made for a beautiful ship. The decks were all red and grey. They knifed through our formations like a -sorry-hot knife through a butter slab.

We Marines were in charge of the gun crews (as always-did you know that) -- we trained our weapons on those Russky ships, but were absolutely flipping out/scaring the Captain for doing so, as one example...

... So... I'm on my way home... very close to the Eastern shore of the U.S. -- by that I mean within 300 miles... definitely "OUR" turf within the concept of how "WE" both roll-russkis vs.us--- "Med --- at that time--- up for grabs--"

North Atlantic was theirs, as was the Baltic...


SO, ANYWAY...... (I hate this place for fucking with my posts..to be continued)

It was '81 or so..

So the the Soviets were messin' with our "gator Navy" formation...

I don't know the chain of command, etc.

I do know from a personal experience that Ronald Reagan did NOT fuck around.

It was like 20 Soviet ships messing with us...and doing a good job of doing so..obviously- if the National Command Authority was aware of iThis is why we dig Reagan...

I was there.

He sent.

Every B-52

we own

To fly as close to the water, as they could...right over everyone. Shook the water...

It was a heart stopper.

Russkies and us. They rolled...immediately...

I saw that.

It defined profound, to me.

It makes me think about how small we all are...


Also how brave those sailors are...



I know they think differently about Marines- they see us go off those decks--- but really, you should see the shit they face...It is extraordinarilay studly...

They have stones, is what I'm trying to say...

As an aside.., I want to tell you about some real dedication to our country.

I rolled off a bus at Parris Island, along with 121 other fellas.

I graduated with 88 of them.

21 of us were amongst that original 121, the rest were "pick-ups" from older platoons.

Of those 88- 38 died in combat. 38 out of 88.



In their first enlistment.

Not a lot of people just come out and tell stories like these. It's very interesting to see these little glimpses in real life, rather than the Hollywood ones.

Keep it together, Foster.

Just another reason why i think Ronald Reagan was one of our all time best presidents. He didn't screw around when it came to "us versus them". He let them know we were not to be F**KED with.
No "politically correct" B.S.
I wish he were still in office.

I know....i know.....LOL!
Thing is, no one DID mess with us back then, right?
Reagan was the guy that carried a BIG gun on his waist.......but you knew he wouldn't use it unless someone tried to mess with us.
He wasn't a "nut case" like Kim jong ding dong in north Korea.....or that other nut running Iran.
I always say, the reason i keep a loaded gun in the house is so that i hopefully NEVER have to use it. But need it just ONCE.......if you have it ready and let those around you know that you will use it IF necessary i think it's a better deterent against attack.

Cheesey, you have to lay off the FOX network. The reason Reagan was a great president is because no matter what financial position a person was in, he held his head high because Reagan gave that pride back to this country. But after having the tweetle dee and tweetle dum Bush men, hummer boy Clinton, and the Nimrod trying to be the great equalizer; I fear we will never find another person like Reagan again, mainly because this country has lost it's identity again.

dfosterf (2h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from
