Pat Riot Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 WTH is up with these stupid ****ing so-called battle cries by the Army and Navy. I knew about the Marine “Oorah” for a long time, but now I see the Navy supposedly has a call of Hooyah? Bull Crap! My guess is a bunch of whiney douchbag new ensigns and 2nd lieutenants got dare wittle feewings huht because Marines had a battle cry and they didn’t. 3 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Got to love interservice rivalries - kind of like a Linebacker calling a Split end a wuss. In theory and usually in fact parts of a whole. Sometimes at worst, not well coordinated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about the Navy, but the Army "hooah" has been around as long as the Marines cry. I can remember it from about 40 years ago, just never thought much of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 We were living on the Marine air station at Iwakuni in May of 1959. On May Day that year, a bunch of commies rioted at the base entrance, so the base fire department turned the hoses on them. Thus ended the riot. Seems we could resurrect that tactic for some of today’s antics. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if they said the battle cry was “LIBERTY CALL” then I would say “Damn Straight!” 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say something similar to that, but I have learned that sometimes less is more in online forums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budweiser or Colt 45 Malt Liquor. I took one of each. First and last time drinking malt liquor. Yuck! But it was cold and had alcohol in it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
