The United States Marines began their assault on Iwo Jima. Thank God for the Greatest Generation.

Can you even imagine if our military had to do that today ? Be a complete failure

Us older ones would have to fight today. Them man buns would stick up above the fox hole and be easy targets and probably hard to march in a dress.

Fellas, I spent a lot of time around airmen from Holloman AFB and soldiers from Fort Bliss when I worked at the Otero County shooting range in La Luz, NM, and I could not have been prouder of these squared-away young men and women. I believe our armed forces are in very good hands. Have had the same feeling interacting with airmen from Dyess AFB.

I think our current military is very strong and that they would step up if the need came. I give them thanks for serving in this crazy world we live in today - I do not believe it would be a complete failure at all. They are not our problem - our national elected officials are the problem along with guys like you posting this crap

Thanks for sharing, now I know who to ask if I want an educated and factual opinion on the military of today.
