NDBUFFCUSEFAN Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) You're on an NFL message board. Have you played in the NFL? If not, you wouldn't understand and shouldn't comment on the NFL. Huh? Edit: Nevermind, you seem to be a troll of sorts so I won't be responding. I don't know about you're "he shouldn't salute, because he didn't serve" theroy. I've always been greatful of any appreciation given to me in uniform. And any salute given by any civilian I have always returned. Remember, we work FOR the great people of our country. Don't put you're self on a pedestal. Sua sponte Did you read all the comment I have left in this thread? I have stated a couple times that I have received more than enough respect for my service than I ever thought I would.

BillsBytheBay Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Sarge?! There are no "Sarge's" in the Marines. The Marine in his dress blue uniform is a Gunnery Sergeant or "Gunny." Sarge's are in the army. You only salute Officers, Warrant Officers, or out of respect to recipients of the Purple Heart (meaning you got shot or wounded in combat) which is why the Marine Gunnery Sergeant was yelling "NO!!!" Not purple hearts, the congressional medal of honor. That being said, you cant apply military regulations when dealing with a ten year old at the gas station, or football players on the field. I enlisted to serve. And it was of my own accord. I don't care if civilians don't understand military regulations. I understand civilians. The intent of the salute by civilians to service members is ment to honor them. Personaly, I'm greatful. Huh? Edit: Nevermind, you seem to be a troll of sorts so I won't be responding. Did you read all the comment I have left in this thread? I have stated a couple times that I have received more than enough respect for my service than I ever thought I would. but you can't choose how people try to show there respect. I didn't imply you have been disrespected, or haven't received enough. Just that if they coose to salute you, will you correct them? Or tell them its inappropriate? That's all.

Which branch of service were you in? I was in the Marines for 8 1/2 years until I tore my foot & ankle up.

DukeyBomb Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) I don't find the gif funny what so ever. It would be a lot better if Goodwin threw the ball at the guys feet, and maybe see the marine flip out like a baby lol. Nothing funny about a dudes ego so high he has to get in the face of an entertainer/athlete to show him up. Really dumb of that marine. Upper case lol. Does it matter.

Jerry Jabber Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 lol, I like the active duty version. My dad was in the Navy and bust my chops about being a Marine, so my favorite line to guys that have been in the navy is "So you were in the navy, but you're out now? That makes you a discharged seaman!!" (Sounds better when you say it aloud). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
