Happy Independence Day, and, um, BURN.
Earlier today, we noticed that the Idaho National Guard armory down the street was flying their flag at half-staff. The Inconvenience remarked that it is downright insane to lower the the flag on Independence Day, especially in honor of such a distasteful waste of flesh as Robert Byrd.
Turns out it’s also in direct violation of the Presidential Proclamation on the subject.
Not fifteen minutes after I learned that, to what did my wondering eyes did appear, but a freshly-shaven, sharp-looking Sergeant of Marines in full dress blues, striding on down to the Armory… and raising the flag to full-staff.
*cough*
Sure glad I don’t know anybody who would do anything like that…
*whistles*
I wish I had been there because that would have been the photo opportunity of the day!

But wait, haven’t the lefties claimed for years that the National Guard is the STATE not FEDERAL militia?
Ooorah Mike
Just when you think he can’t be more badass…
Good work Marine.
Oorah! Marine!
As my Father would say, Out Marine Corps Standing!
This Army Dog Face supports you.
3rd ID 94-99 Signal puke!
That is just awesome! I would have paid money to see that in person.
Semper Fi!
When better men are built the Marine Corps will build them.
The Marines come through yet again …
