Picture of a Iraq veteran Marine groom and bride.

[ChrizZ]

Just to start off, I can honestly say I was neutral when it came to the whole "looks matter"/"looks dont matter" topics...

But lets say that this guy(guy in the pics) were to go clubbing, or to a bar and tried to game chicks...do you think he'll succeed? Not to sound cruel, but Im pretty damn sure that average looking chicks and above would just stop him on his tracks just because of the way he looks...

This is a sad story, I think the last thing on his mind is to go clubbing. I admire him though, he seems to be a really strong person.

 

[ryannath]

I'm sorry for the guy and wouldn't wanna be in his shoes, but he looks like Jason Vorhees and it won't last. She will divorce him. Just look at the look on her face. She can't believe she is marrying him.

 

[sparky0000]

if you are going to feel sorry for people i would recommend you feel sorry for all the children on this planet who are f***** from the beginning. go visit a local hospital and see what i am talking about. bald headed little girls and boys who somehow still have the biggest smiles on their faces. talk about amazing strength. i have learned more from them than from any old fart.

divorce? most marriages end up in divorce in america. so big deal.

this guy is a hero, nobody forced him into the marines, it was his choice, he knew the risks, he risked all this for us just so we could be on this forum and complain how bad our lives are. sometimes we dont realise how good we have it. hes proubly happy to just be alive, one of the last things he cares about is this woman. she will divorce him no doubt, but this guy is a true man, anyone who joins any armned force is.

 

[MisterNigma]

Not to be insensitive, even though I am, but why doesn't he wear a mask? He'd actually be better of with one...

adding Rep +1.

take that rep back and give it to me. i do more good for you guys by going to places like ukraine, moldova, latvia, etc. than any dude can possibly do in iraq. i treat the people with respect and dignity. everyone loves me. even if i am not their idea of the sandy haired california surfer dude. if only i was

so if america hadn't invaded iraq this forum would not be here? mmm, if only that were true! your life might be better without some of the advice you get on here. now, if anything, saddam was probably a member of this place. he liked booze, had a bunch of girlfriends, watched gangster movies, smoked cubans, etc. outside of the mulitple girlfriend part he sounds just like one of you. actually, saddam would have probably been hell on me. i don't like any of the above (outside of a nice glass of wine).

Very sad I truely respect him and his family for going through that. I really am grateful for the men and women serving overseas regardless of the political turmoil of the war. I really hope that the girl loves him enough and stay loyal to stay with him but judging from those pictures I highly doubt that. Really tragic how sometimes these things happen.

P.S.

I don't agree how everyone in the armed forces are willing. Many of them are minorities who has no other options. Just throwing it out there for the unknowing cuz KNOWLEGE IS CONTAGEOUS!

 

[KarmaSutra]

Thankfully (and unfortunately for you), karma's a bіtch.

That's the fvcking truth!

Here's another great picture of the happy couple!

dude! i loved that big guy! my favorite part was when the cyndi lauper song comes on. i hated that punk of an older brother. what a muscle jerk :moon: the 80's were the pinnacle for american cinema.

i swear to you guys. play this film for any girl from the cis/baltic states. you can get the russian language version for less than $5. they love it! the scenery is so beautiful. the houses and the kids are the way america should be. the girls always feel sorry for the big bald freak of a cyclops. ugh, what good memories i have from "cinema" nights. popcorn, candy, soft drinks, and a beautiful girl who says "harasho" every ten seconds.

Yep, +1. I was just sitting here waiting to pipe up with the definition of sacrafice.

Fortunately for this guy, he isn't dead, and plastic surgery can restore him to close to before.

-1.

Soldiers don't have any say in where they are sent. "OOooh! Oooh! I wanna go to Iwo Jima!" Soldiers obey orders. Do you think doughboys WANTED to go to Germany around '41? Oh, wait, those guys WANTED to go to Vietnam?

I must say, after reading crap like this, I really must tell you that your blood runs cold when you realize that the words "...and I am prepared to give my life in their defense." just came out of your mouth.

What's worse? Sitting in an assembly hall with 400 grown men and hearing "ATTENTION TO ORDERS!" Then, listening as a company is deployed. That's not so bad, really, it's listening to 70 or so trained killers just flat-out lose their composure and burst into full-on bawling.

Damn ingrates. That guy is tweaked and you have the luxury to squawk about politics. You know what "sparky", save your political discussion for THAT GUY. GO! Have a discussion with him about what HE thinks about politics of Iraq.

My grandfather lived through 3 campaigns in WWII: North Africa, Italy, and Okinawa. When he got home, he sung each of his 9 kids a happy little song about a lucky rooster when they were babies. None of those kids will forget it. He sure couldn't. Shortly before he died, he finally told his kids where the song came from. It was a Japanese song on a record that they translated. He was pinned down with two other guys in a bunker for 3 days. They ate, slept, and kept watch in shifts - but that record never quit playing.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to listen to a couple little songs now.

1. "One" by Metallica
2. "Rooster" by Alice in Chains.

"...Walkin' tall, machine gun man. They spit on me in my homeland."

 

[Vulpine]

Hitman, why don't you go show that guy that picture to his face. THAT would actually be funny.

 

[WaterTiger]

DAAAAAAAAAMN! My heart goes out to both of them. But in all honesty, the girl had no choice. She HAD to marry him. Look at the address on the pics, small town midwest. Those areas still have that deeply patriotic-Mom-Apple pie kind of attitudes. Her family would have been the town scandle if she had refused to marry him. She would have been shunned out of town.

water tiger your a woman and from a womans perspective if that was your boyfriend would you marry him? I consider myself to be a standup guy, a mans man but if that was my GF I could not marry her. I would feel terrible about it though.

 

[spider_007]

am i the only one that notices that she looks scared......I don't see a smile.

 

[THE_ADDMAN]

agree. she doesnt look pleased. its unfortunate, but as said, he knew the risks.

makes me feel thankful that I have what I have, even if it aint perfect

 

[djbr]

Threads like this shows me how some people on this forum are flat out EGOISTS to the point of blindness.

Can people just have some fvckin' RESPECT? It's not "non-alpha" to recognize a sacrifice.

My best wishes to the soldier.

this guy is a hero, nobody forced him into the marines, it was his choice, he knew the risks, he risked all this for us just so we could be on this forum and complain how bad our lives are. sometimes we dont realise how good we have it. hes proubly happy to just be alive, one of the last things he cares about is this woman. she will divorce him no doubt, but this guy is a true man, anyone who joins any armned force is.

Now that was worth of a rep plus.

I know a bride who broke up with her fiancee just a couple months before the wedding date. and a lot of money was already spent. Many friends relatives hated on her. She shouldn't have said "yes" when he proposed, but I think she did the right thing knowing she didn't want to be with the guy anymore. I don't know how the marine's bride truly feels, but if she didn't want to marry him (which seems the case based on her facial expressions), she should have just stood up for herself despite the pressure from others

 

[Derek Flint]

That guy is more of a "DJ" than 99.9% of us will ever be.

Re:

It's moments like this where everything babbled about on SS.com is completely worthless and useless in the course of human events. For guys here to even make mention or make fun of someone in the armed forces speaks to the shallowness of your soul. If you lack basic compassion for someone who's on the frontlines of battle, then your success with is suspect, you don't deserve to be breeding, and everyguy should /ignore you. Goes to show how many children hover around this community and why veterans end up leaving it.

FYI...they're attempting to reinstate the draft as we type meaningless chatter on "getting women" on message boards. Check it out. Current enlistees KNOW they want to wage 2 wars at the same time while stockpiling our home forces. The draft won't be enacted, but the fear of having one will push alot of fence sitters in so that they aren't in fact ever drafted to a branch they don't want to be drafted into.

And I've never NOT supported troops, they support the Constitution, first and foremost. Some may like Bush more, or his policies, because some presidents give more to the military, but I wouldn't NOT support someone b/c of their beliefs.

Lastly, the pictures are...scary...MAYBE, just MAYBE, she's not totally a deer in the headlights. MAYBE she's super happy her BF/fiance actually LIVED. And maybe with cosmetic surgery, he can get CLOSE to what he was before. But that's his choice.

[Vulpine]

Indeed, A-Unit, indeed.

A soldier is taught in the service to "Respect the uniform and respect the postition. What you think of the man doesn't matter."

And that's how it is. Bush comes off as a bumbling idiot, but he's the president and soldiers have to salute the flag, and the president. They aren't saluting the man, they are saluting the position, or the "uniform". There is no "like", there is no "agreement", there is only "duty".
