#5 Dar, depends. Could've been recently promoted. Plus, they are reservists, whole different world. But for reservists, they're still Marines, and therefore still whooping mucho iraqi ass.

#7 Is that anything like Spotted Dick? I never caught many episodes of WWI Blackadder, only the medieval and 18th century versions.
