Sorry for the late start, have been grinding away on the cut…more soon, had to blow off a big lunc with Gary Sinise because ot this Thursday deadline which may even artificial. Americ’s best and brightest do end up in the military, because I’ve yet to find them in other field.
There are a great number of vey specific people in hollywood that I would ove see crumble in terror, and then die by hand of some worthelss wase of human flesh jihadi.
I miss kiling more than anythig.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
Pat,
You already know that the war is not over yet. Historicaly this will be the longest we have been engaged in. The Iraq region will probably just be considered a battle or campaign.
When you are done the tedious task of editing and fighting your battle to tell this story. You will find that it was worth it. This film is important in helping us go forward as the world prepares to lynch mob our free society.
December 10th, 2007 at 4:17 pmWhy do I think the next message from Pat will be, “Send lawyers, guns and money …”?
AND NOT necessarily in that order.

Who wouldnt? Id like to see Penn, De Palma, Sarandon, Matt Damon and that ball sucker di caprio sliced up.
December 10th, 2007 at 9:57 pmYou are not alone.
December 10th, 2007 at 11:49 pmPat,
Yesterday you posted the following:
The resonses to my cut run along the lines of “It was very difficult and disturbing to watch, I wanted to stop looking but just couldn’t, traumatizing but mesmerizing, since Showtime’s showing that at 10 PM I literally don’t know if I could fall asleep after seeing it, it makes me very emotional about those Marines, I have so much respect for these kids, I’ve learned more about this war in 30 minutes than in 5 years of news”
This statement reminds me of all of the idiot fucks that said they couldn’t watch Saving Private Ryan because it was “too graphic”. To which I said good, tie them down and force them to watch what our guys volunteered to endure, while you chose to sit at home and eat bon bons.
This comment: don’t know if I could fall asleep after seeing it, it makes me very emotional about those Marines, I have so much respect for these kids
If this isn’t the point of putting together a piece like yours I don’t know what is. That response is why you should stick to your method and why the watered down version won’t achieve crap.
The lefties need a club to the head as they believe if they don’t see or hear something it isn’t happening, and your footage just might be that club.
I mean even with all the fake footage in Private Ryan, it was still a hit. It even seemed to strike a nerve with the public right. Made all the mind numbed robots actually think about the sacrifice that others have made on their behalf, right?
Fuck the brain dead zombies its 10 pm. Roll tape and make em think, even if they do get all teary eye’d for a couple of days.
Damn freakin pussies, like their world is gonna fall apart for knowing the truth.
December 10th, 2007 at 11:53 pmGod damn, there’s nothing I hate more than having to blow off a big lunch with Gary Sinise.
Speaking as one of America’s best and brightest, I will proudly report to the chow hall tomorrow at 0400 for duty–the Okinawans are going on strike because of… I don’t know. Probably money, although I wouldn’t rule out them protesting MPH. So much for the famed Japanese work ethic. I’m the FNG at MALS-36 Aviation Supply Department, so I’m the one taking a bite of the shit sandwich. Which is fine. All the more incentive to get E-4.
Somebody asked me about an old school rant. Two things:
1. Since I joined the Marines, I talk and write about half as much as I used to.
2. I just turned 25. Maturity is forcing itself on me like a Duke lacrosse player.
Furthermore, the reason I don’t follow politics as much as I used to is because IT IS FUCKING PREDICTABLE. I mean Christ, here are tomorrow’s headlines:
Congressional Democrats frustrate Bush; Bush frustrates Congress
Al Gore wins an award
Bill Clinton speaks
Marines Get Job Done
Iraq Getting Better — Nobody Seems to Care
Winfrey Mulls Cabinet Post, Obama Promises “Department of Oprah”
Cindy Sheehan Acts Like a Fat Bitch
Republican Presidential Candidates Whip Out Dicks, See Who’s is Biggest — voters unimpressed
You see? I just saved you the trouble of reading the news. Now you’ve got more time to sleep/eat/fuck/drink/beat your wife/whatever. Have a great night, Dollardians.
December 11th, 2007 at 2:00 amJeez Pat, I wanted to meet Gary Sinise a couple months back at Walter Reed. Me and my band’s photographer, a great Vietnam Vet War hero (4 Bronze stars, Army Soldiers Medal) who’s also a great, great friend, went down to Walter Reed one early afternoon to check out their facilities for our concert we were to be giving the following week for the troops and their families. Sinise’s band, Lieutenant Dan Band, was already set up for their show that evening and I talked to one of their members but Sinise wasn’t around and we couldn’t stay all night for their show. I was dying to meet him and tell him how much we appreciated his support of our troops!! Maybe you can convey that for me next time you talk to him. Also, we’d love for our group to travel around playing for the troops and maybe open up for his band if possible.
Hope the editing, and the quitting smoking, is going good!!
December 11th, 2007 at 4:01 amHey Rummy,
Thanks for the time management tips.
I mentioned the old school ranting, many are new at this site since you joined the Marines and never got to enjoy your ‘opinions’.
No more Saturday at the movies at this site anymore either.
I hate growing up.
December 11th, 2007 at 5:06 amAhh, now I remember Rummy. Dude enlisted about the time I started hitting the site like a housewife who doesn’t have dinner on the table.
December 11th, 2007 at 6:28 amRumsfeld?
…You remind me of me….just remember, it doesn’t get any better and you still need to pay attention because your back hand is not an option. It’s a necessity. 
December 11th, 2007 at 6:29 amRumsfeld, wondered where you went.
December 11th, 2007 at 7:13 amAh ha… Rumsfeld47 is alive and well.
December 11th, 2007 at 9:14 amThrow them a few trendy perks and talk that hollywood shit Pat. They’ll come around.
Rummy - Seems the Corp has mellowed you. Ha.
December 11th, 2007 at 2:07 pmOkay, yunz guys.
Getting worried. Ain’t seen a misspalled woid frum Pat twoday …
I’ve been keeping a close eye on FNC.
No reports of any L.A. car chases, editing studios being bombed, or editing staff being taken hostage …
Pat, if you’re out there, send up a flare, man! But aim at the sky … NOT at “human flesh jihadi” …
December 11th, 2007 at 2:20 pmMellowed? Never!
I believe Drill Instructor Sergeant Winfrey put it well: “Controlled aggression is the most powerful thing in the world, do you understand that? No, DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? Fucking-god-damn, I guess I must be losing my fat mind. Open your fat, disgusting mouths! FUUCK!”
Dollard is quitting smoking? Nobody likes a quitter, Pat.
Everything in life was going so well–got first in class at MOS school, meritorious Lance Corporal, got a great girlfriend, got orders to Okinawa… and then it turns out that she’s pregnant. I don’t know if I’ll get to see my kid before/during/after birth, since we’re not married. And I haven’t told my folks yet. I’m going to tell them after they send me my XBox 360. Just seems prudent.
The thing I’ll say about the Marine Corps is that the great times are greater, the shitty times are shittier, but no matter what, you’re a fucking Marine.
I got my Anthrax shot today, along with small pox. WTF, you ask? Well, turns out our good old buddies the Russians “lost” all their little stores of small pox (that were kept around, you know, just in case).
Anyway, I’m back–finally, after months of inconsistent internet access. I’m sure something will happen in the news, or I’ll go to the computer lounge drunk, or both, and I’ll have a lot to say. Probably an essay on why Nancy Pelosi has a penis and Harry Reid has a vagina.
