(57,653 posts)What it shows is how reliable Raw Story is. I don't know why it's permitted as a source in LBN. I see we're on the same page there.

(58,726 posts)I got a couple out of the discount bins and found out why.
Discussing WWII in Europe, talking about the several amphibious landings at Sicily, Normandy, etc calling the troops in the landings "marines". Because anybody who gets off a boat and goes ashore is a "marine" I guess.
Nope. Not many Marines in Europe, and definitely not any major formations. Marines fought primarily in the Pacific alongside the soldiers and sailors.
Raw Story, do your homework, please.

(58,785 posts)The Trumans lieutenant commander confirmed that a master something did in fact give that disrespectful order just as described by many of the sailors.
Hope he just gets chewed out a bit. Any mental link made between Pence, pimping, sleazy activities, requiring good men to cheer for slimeballs, whatever, should of course have been kept strictly personal.
But I agree with him.
