as charlie sheen preens

Got word twelve Leathernecks from 3rd Battalion 5th Marines were killed in four days over in Afghanistan this past month (reports conflict -- some say it happened in December).

Nevertheless, young Men ages 21 to 29.

Killed In Action.
Most probably lower ranking enlisted.

Privates, Corporals...life-takers/heart breakers.
Suppose they knew the danger when signing up -- hell, there's a war on.
Tells ya a bit about their character.

Whatta shame the good ones go off and die, while the shit-bricks back home are...nevermind.

It's pretty futile. Life is unfair...yadda, yadda. Push on and smile.

Semper Fidelis.

And God bless.

little something i drew up for Los Angeles Harbor College's weekly rag;

Harbor Tides. seems like a lifetime ago -- back when our KIA's hit 2K.

wonder what it's @ now...
