Title: R.I.P. "Gunny" R. Lee Ermey
Post by: oldfart on February 08, 2025, 03:13:48 AM
One of my all time fav movie clips
Edit...apparently I picked up a fake news article that said he died a few days ago.

His untimely death was so sudden.  Out of nowhere.  He will be missed.  RIP, Gunny.

A typical Marine.  Never makes waves.  Never the drama queen.  It's never "all about me".

But their impact is a Tsunami.

Yes, as Flapp mentioned, it was a while ago.  And it was so sudden and like a true Marine, Gunny didn't cry or be all dramatic as he was experiencing health problems.

He just got up everyday and lived life to the fullest.  The best he can.  Like a true Marine.

Although I am not nor was a Marine, I live my life by the inspiration of men like him.

edited to add: 

Yeah, the internet is full of BS content.  Many times those BS content catch me off guard too.

Or, maybe Amazon knows what you're talking about and recommends associated titles?

yep...stuff is monitored on this forum. Guaranteed.
I noticed that.
I also noticed that I get targeted content when I talk to someone about any topic.
This tells me that my phone is listening to what is going on. It's pretty creepy and funny.
