Substack "Gwen Walz, wife of Governor and VP candidate Tim Walz, demonstrated open disrespect for the U.S. Marine Corps and its storied traditions at a recent campaign event."
"Walz’s wife, appears to be cut from the same unserious cloth, disrespectful towards institutions and people who have given their lives so she and her husband can cavort on the public stage."
"Yesterday, while finalizing today’s lineup for American Free News Network, I got a call from a friend, fellow veteran, conservative pundit, single malt sampler and cigar aficionado, David Webb.** Webb had come across something on X (more on this in a moment) and was asking for my assistance in properly expressing umbrage.
"In conversations over the course of the last few years, Mr Webb has became well aware that during my last 10 years in the Army, I spent an inordinate amount of time in joint assignments. This of course required an ability to speak the language of the various service components.
"For example, I learned that the Navy, when referring to the pointy end of their boats, uses the term, “the bow.” The right side is, “Starboard” and the left, “Portside.”
"Marines speak in even more arcane terminology. For example, when marching troops, Marine Gunnery Sergeants can often be heard repeating “Jeow Freddie.” At first, I thought this was a Marine version of Army running cadences that refer to “Jody,” a n’ere-do-well who is well-known for taking liberties with Soldiers’ ladies while they are deployed. Alas, “Jeow Freddie, Jeow Freddie,” is just the Devil Dog manner of saying, “Left, Right. Left, Right.” Go figure.
"I love Marines. I especially like them when they are irritated…by enemy actions…or leftist comments. In the first case, they usually vent their irritation via a violent bayonet attack (as in Fallujah) automatic fire or in more serious cases, an M-67 grenade…or perhaps, Naval Gunfire. 16” rounds, the weight of a Volkswagen, will definitely get your attention, that is, if you survive.
"However, when stateside, not in a combat zone, and/or no longer an active member of The Corps, Marines are of course, limited to verbal responses. These responses are usually along the lines of proposing biologically impossible acts, said proposals often accompanied by observations as to the uncertain parentage of the offending party. However, even those are proscribed in polite company.
"This brings me back to my conversation with Mr. Webb, sometime attendee of the Boat School on Chesapeake Bay and honored member of the United States Marine Corps. He was soliciting my assistance in answering an egregious act of disrespect to the Marine Corps and its storied history.
"Despite the tongue-in-cheek comments above, I am very serious about the issue Mr. Webb brought to my attention…yet another instance of lack of seriousness by the Harris-Walz campaign.
"He sent me a Post on X from Libs of TikTok to make this point." . . .Full article here.
