Coming from the wife of a woman whose husband has been in a REAL war this posting makes me want to vomit.

Do I feel big and strong? I know I am big and strong. Not because of my weapons, but because I am a United States Marine, and U.S. Marines are big and strong.

:lol:
don't make me laugh.

Nektarios,

You are scaring me.

Well actually, what worries me Nectarius is that maybe boot camp isn't doing spiritual good to you, and maybe it might be hurting you spiritually and not even notice it. (I am sure, I can be wrong). As a brother in Christ, I want to yourself on your faith status, because these statements you made of being proud of being an U.S. Marine may seem normally unspiritual. When loving GOD, there is not pride for Country. There was a Abba saying a quote: (I hope I don't mistaken this)= You have 1 throne in your heart, you will you put? God or you?

Anyways, all brotherly, bidding you Good Luck, may God lead you where He finds right,

And hoping it is to kill as many Muslim fanatics as possible!

I'm sorry, I don't agree with the killing though. God did not teach us to kill, but rather suffer martyrdom for Him. I hope Nectarius realizes how important it is to be Orthodox Christian in such a Devil-controled world.
