While speaking of produce, I believe a huge amount of produce in America comes from Chile, I do not see Americans starving for lettuce or tomatoes. In my area, Missouri, we have many farms that produce fresh vegetables. It would not impact us all that much.
We have many peach and apple orchards about in our area also, the rest of the produce is readily available fro Idaho, and Kansas and Nebraska would serve us Angus beef and tons of wheat.

We can easily feed the US and a significant part of the whole world if necessary.

Great Lakes, like most every other military post, is selected for the record of high summer temperatures, low winter temperatures, and disagreeable amounts of rainfall, snowfall, or sunshine. That is why they spend so much money building Officer's clubs, NCO clubs and long drill fields. Mix in the toughest NCOs and Viola, you got military nirvana.
Do they still even have clubs?

Silly posturing.

My wife could never get the hang of it. So I bought her an electric one.My preferred is a plain old "waiters corkscrew." About $6 to $12 for decent ones.
Something along these lines:
Easy to use, compact, not out a lot of money if it gets lost or "borrowed."

No sidewalks around here.

Yes I know that, but I can't remember the last time I got a busy signal which is my point! I don't know anyone with a land line that doesn't have voice mail!
All I have is an answering machine. It will not put you into voice mail if I'm on the line.

Rats! We just bought a new opener.

But then again .
The Older I get .

Yup. Hearing loss will do that.

Then why apply such a caustic observation in the first place. Since you have no clue the circumstances.
It was not, in my opinion caustic. It was simply an observation. I think two men who are being watched on TV by millions of Americans and are representing the corps should be as absolutely perfect as possible. I stand by that.

Remarkably long lives for many of them.
Sadly short for others

According to Donald Bady in his book Colt Automatic Pistols, the Army modified the 1911's flat mainspring housing in 1926 because some soldiers had difficulty keeping the grip safety depressed, especially during recoil when the hand can move on the grip. The arched housing caused the hand to stay higher on the grip. He references original documents. I don't recall if there was any mention of shooting high or low.

Also at Anzio. Although the Germans called them The Black Devils, not the Devils Brigade. That was Hollywood. Probably because Black Devils sounded racist.

Don't care.
Go Falcons!

Maybe it'll be full of frozen dinosaurs!

Kepi????
If the bring back the garrison cap it should be the WWII type. Ithad character. The stiff green 1957model was hideous.

You mean swords?

I think Mattis got their attention.

As far as the bowlegged stance, I don't believe they would assign a man with a prosthesis to stand for that long a shift. Could just be he's a cowboy.
Regardless of the minor deficiencies I noted during my armchair inspection, my hat's off to those young Marines.
