Well seeing that this is my first deviation... It's not much of a deviation. I saw these photos at [link] and I was motivated. I am a United States Marine and I am proud. I get angry, upset, sad, whatever when I see or read stories like this. I'm sure not everyone is behind the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan but it's what I believe in and that's all that matters I guess. Everyone is open to their own opinion and this is mine.
