Have you ever seen a body without a head, or vice-versa?

74. Not this Navy Vet! Not all sailors and airmen sit on the sidelines, not all soldiers and marines

Are in the middle of the shit.

I was a part of a UN peace keeping force in Beirut, 1983.

The Beirut Barracks Bombings (October 23, 1983 in Beirut, Lebanon) occurred during the Lebanese Civil War, when two truck bombs struck separate buildings housing United States and French military forces—members of the Multinational Force (MNF) in Lebanon—killing 299 American and French servicemen. An obscure group calling itself 'Islamic Jihad' claimed responsibility for the bombing.[1]
Suicide bombers detonated each of the truck bombs. In the attack on the building serving as a barracks for the 1st Battalion 8th Marines (Battalion Landing Team - BLT 1/8), the death toll was 241 American servicemen: 220 Marines, 18 sailors and three soldiers, along with 60 Americans injured, representing the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Marine Corps since World War II's Battle of Iwo Jima, the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States military since the first day of the Vietnam War's Tet Offensive, and the deadliest single attack on Americans overseas since World War II.[2] In addition, the building's elderly Lebanese custodian was killed in the first blast.[3] The explosives used were equivalent to 9,525 kg (21,000 pounds) of TNT.[4]
