Ahem… Because of my father flying corsairs and such in Guam, the Philippines, Japan, China and Korea and training the guys in D.C. and Chicago afterward, I have a predilection for the USMC.
My response to this little video, sent in by a certain Master Sarge, and which has been making the rounds perhaps since YouTube started, is that the U.S. Army, which produced this little jab against the Marines, is a response which shouldn’t even have to be voiced. But I will…
Only the Army would have time to produce such a thing. The Army mans the phones, which is an indictment. Hah!



Accompany me, Father George David Byers, S.S.L., S.T.D., as I begin life as a Catholic Priest-Hermit by choice. Holy Souls Hermitage is dedicated to the sanctification of my fellow priests, bishops, deacons & seminarians going through the purgatory of this life or the next. Prayer and sacrifice go up, of course, for both Benedict XVI and the next Successor of Saint Peter. 






I’ve seen a Corsair at the Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa, Idaho. Its cockpit is really small and claustrophobic, even with its plexiglass windscreen. Our flyers had great courage, just to be willing to get inside one of those things.
Father is referring to an email I received and passed along to him. If one goes to this link:
it is fairly clear that the YouTube in question is surrounded by a great many others ABOUT the USMC! If the Army did do this as a “spoof,” I’d submit that it backfired. Furthermore, “Mastersarge” was chosen because other options were already taken for this particular email provider. What the heck, I pray for the entire US military daily, and salute them ALL. Yikes!
Of course, Mastersarge. Just having a go with this! HSH supports our entire military!
Semper Fi!
