  • There is an alternate meaing to Semper Fi: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear NO evil. For I am the most hardcore ass kicking SOB in the valley.

  • Those two fools are lucky this Marine was not locked and loaded. Two shots, two kills, no waste of taxpayers money on trials then three hots and a cot.

    • No, there would still be a trial, but it would be this Marine in court!
      Somehow, I don't think he would be convicted, but the families of the original shooters would be suing for loss of income!

  • ...and then he waterboarded the thieves with his own blood!! God bless America, and those who defend her.

    • Actually, my first impulse was to write, "That man's balls have balls." But that was a bit crude. :)

      Lt. Col. Trenker represents the best of what is American. Those who attempted to take his property and his life represent the worst.

  • That RACIST Marine! He should have just let those Democrats "redistribute" his gold chain to Pooky their local drug dealer. It's obvious he is a member of the 1%..... this world is going to hell fast. Wish I could see a couple mug shots from when the marine gets better and they let him into their cell for an hour.

    • Yes, they did word it wrong. He's been a Marine for 29 years. That would make it a little easier to understand. I wish him well in his recovery.
