Our Awesome Military: General Pace

A couple of awesome links about our military:

First, The Military Motivator. Cool. Just darn cool. Check it out, really, it won't take you more than a minute.

Second Marine Corps General Peter Pace:

"One thing that was discussed was whether or not I should just voluntarily retire and take the issue off the table.

I said I could not do that for one very fundamental reason which is that no soldier or Marine in Iraq should think — ever — that his chairman, whoever that person is, could have stayed in the battle and voluntarily walked off the battlefield.

That is unacceptable as a leadership thing, in my mind."

There's a reason they don't let Marines be Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairmen -- because they're Marines first and foremost. Marines kills people and break things. If you don't want dead people and broken things, don't call the Marines.

Absolutely friggin outSTANDING General Pace. You absolutely did and are doing the right thing and you should be praised and rewarded, not let go. Keep your head high, sir, as you make me proud, again, to know you are called a Marine.

Semper Fi, General Pace, Semper Fi.
