Oh Yeah... That Worked

[Soldier's Mom]

The Code Pinkos and anarchists of the world are protesting and picketing the U.S. Marine Corps Recruiting Station in Berkeley... Maybe that had the exact opposite effect?? Perhaps drew attention to the fine work the USMC does?? Look at that number, Medea!

OORAH, HOOAH, BRAVO ZULU and WHOOHOO to those fine young men and women who joined!!
