Gunnery Sgt Lee Ermey |
A platoon of U.S. Army Soldiers was out
hiking in formation when the Platoon Leader, a Lieutenant, spotted a Marine
Gunnery Sergeant on top of a hill on the platoons left flank. The
Marine began to yell things at the platoon like “you pansies couldn’t fight
your way out of a paper bag” and various other taunts and insults.
The obviously furious Lieutenant halted the
platoon and barked out an order. “Sergeant,
pick your two best fighters and send them up the hill to teach that Marine a
lesson”. The Sergeant sent his two best
up the hill. When the men got near the
top of the hill, the Marine disappeared over the top of the hill and the
soldiers followed him.
Two minutes later the Marine GSGT. Was on top of the hill yelling again. “Hey you dog faces, is that the best you got? My grandmother could whip them.
The obviously very furious Lieutenant bellowed again. “Sergeant! Send ten men up the hill to teach that Marine a lesson”. The Sergeant sent ten men up the hill. When the men got near the top of the hill, the Marine disappeared over the top of the hill and the soldiers followed him.
Ten minutes went by and then, one soldier
could be seen crawling over top of the hill back to the platoon. looking
through his field glasses the Lieutenant could see the soldier was missing his
cover and one boot. His uniform was torn
and dirty and he was bleeding from the mouth.
The obviously very, very furious Lieutenant
bellowed again. “Sergeant! Prepare the platoon to go up the hill and
teach that Marine a lesson. As they were
preparing the crawling soldier tumbled down the hill stopping at the
Lieutenant’s feet.
The
obviously very, very, very furious Lieutenant bellowed again. Private! Report! The poor Private gasped for air and gave his
report the best he could. “Don’t do it
sir. (wheezing) Don’t go up the hill. (gasping) It’s a trap (wheezing) sir, there’s TWO
of them!

DeleteI am grinning ear to ear. That story had me at every word. I am a product of the Navy and proud of it - and am so grateful to every single branch of service - so much sacrifice... so much hard work.... I just can't imagine being that brave!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I have had friends from all the branches and I respect all those who served. Just a little inter-service rivalry. Army - Navy football game coming soon. Go Navy!
DeleteLOL! Love it. OOORAH back at cha. Retired Marine spouse here - nice to meet you by way of the PINcentive blog hop.
ReplyDeleteBTW I read this whole thing in the voice of Ermey as Sarge in Toy Story.
Thank you so much for being a new fan. I love Gunney Ermey. I'm working of something with Buzz Lightyear right now. Please come back early and often.
DeleteI think Mary Gentle does a nice version of this joke in her orcs/marines mash up Grunts, only with tiny glittery fairies rather than marines, which adds a certain something.
ReplyDeleteI have to look for that and read it. Thanks for contributing.
DeleteOh this was a great time for me to read this, with it being Veterans Day week, I'm glad I stopped by!
ReplyDeleteI did time it that way. Thanks and come back soon.
DeleteOkay, did you quit blogging? I've been missing you. ☺

Hey this was awesome. Also, my birthday is November 10th. Thanks for stopping by Wild Wednesday Link Up Party. I'm hoping you weren't the one who was passed out with your head in the toilet. If so, I was the one who put you in the bunny jammies and tweety pie slippers. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm telling you, I had nothing to do with any damn Flink Pamingos!
DeleteMy brother-in-law would appreciate this :)
ReplyDeleteTell him "Semper Fi" for me.
