Looking for a few good Ladymen in Thailand.

Its good to see the wisdom of combat is passed from one generation to the next, such as "Don't bunch up to make a better target".

What? I don't see anything (paid for by the makers of US Marines camouflage)

Just give me a minute, I'll find it. It was on this big street, had a neon sign and there was this one girl who could ...

Its not the stress of an Iraqi or Afghanistan deployment that tests a military marriage, its the stress of a Thailand deployment.

The Marines were excited about being posted to PORNchai KITTiWONGsakul ... until they got there.

To keep his campaign promise to balance the budget, Obama has started renting out the Marine corps for extras in African Safari movies filmed in Thailand.

White faces, we need more white faces.

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that parties in Bankok with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in Red States now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon COBRA GOLD.

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster,
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free.
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she.
I can feel an angel sliding up to me.
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble,
Not much between despair and ecstasy.
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble,
Can't be too careful with your company.
I can feel the devil walking next to me.
