Thank God for them. The other side of this, however, is that they shouldn't be placed in a situation like this, where there aren't enough Marines to teach the younger ones without having to extend like this. It's shameful that we haven't provided them with enough bodies and enough support. I'm embarrassed by that and ashamed.

I think you got your answer. So Dems keep playing around with the funding, and keep giving the Islamofascists all the talking points and encouragement they need to keep killing and continue thinking that all that matters is impeaching anyone remotely associated with the President and in the meantime our Armed Forces will take care of business.
