USMC PRESS CONFERENCE For the few of you who missed him, R. Lee Ermey is the host of The History Channel’s ‘Mail Call’ and played the Drill Instructor in the movie, ‘Full Metal Jacket.’ He is a retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant and a very plain speaker, as you will soon read.

So, for your entertainment, here is Retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant R. Lee Ermey at his first press conference.

The main topic of discussion is the Marine in Iraq who shot the Iraq insurgent to death.

We pick up as the reporter asks about how this potential war crime will affect our image in the world:

Ermey: ‘WHAT KIND OF A PANSY-ASSED QUESTION IS THAT?’

Reporter 1: ‘Well I think…’

Ermey: ‘THINK, FANCY BOY?! GET THIS THROUGH THAT SEPTIC TANK ON TOP OF YOUR SHOULDERS, MORON: I DON’T GIVE A DAMN WHAT YOU THINK, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME??? THAT MARINE SHOT AN ENEMY COMBATANT, SHITHEAD; SO GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS AND DEAL WITH IT BEFORE I MAKE YOU MY OWN PERSONAL PIN CUSHION!!! NEXT QUESTION: YOU IN THE BLUE SUIT.’

Reporter 2: Don’t you think that the world’s opinion of our operations is important?

Ermey: ‘OH SURE! YOU DON’T KNOW THE TIMES I HAVE CRIED MYSELF TO SLEEP WORRYING ABOUT WHAT SOME GODDAMNED FRENCH PANSY THINKS! OH THE DAYS I HAVE HAD TO WEEP BECAUSE SOME SHIT EATING TERRORIST FUCKER MIGHT BE MAD AT US, BECAUSE WE WENT INTO WHATEVER GOD FORSAKEN HOLE IN THE SHIT THAT HE LIVES IN AND KILLED HIM. WHAT THE HELL KIND OF DUMBASS QUESTION IS THAT YOU PETER-PUFFING JACKASS?? WE ARE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND WHEN YOU ATTACK US, WE ARE GOING TO COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND BLOW YOUR STINKING CAMEL-LICKING CARCASS INTO PIECES SO SMALL WE WILL BE ABLE TO BURY YOUR SORRY ASS IN A THIMBLE!! YEAH, I KNOW WHA T YOU ARE THINKING. YOU ARE PROBABLY AFRAID, THINKING THAT I HAVE SUCH AN ‘EXTREME’ ATTITUDE AND THAT I NEED TO BE MORE “SENSITIVE’ TO OTHER PEOPLE’S F EELINGS. WELL LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING YOU POLE-SMOKING PANSY! I DON’T GIVE TWO SHITS WHAT YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE THINKS! THIS IS A DAMN WAR, AND IF YOU CAN’T HANDLE THAT, THEN YOU SHOULD GO HOME AND SUCK ON MAMMA’S TIT!! DO YOU HEAR ME YOU RUNT?? NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF MY PRESS ROOM BEFORE I GO CRAZY AND BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF YOU!!! NEXT QUESTION: YOU WITH THE UGLY-ASSED TIE. LOOK AT THAT THING! IT IS HIDEOUS.’

Reporter 3: 'Aren’t you going against the freedom of the press by . . . ’

Ermey: ‘FREEDOM?? WHAT IN BLUE HELL DO YOU KNOW ABOUT FREEDOM? I HAVE SWEATED MY ASS OFF IN JUNGLES, WHILE BEING SHOT AT FOR THIS NATION!! WHAT IN THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE YOU LITTLE SHIT-SUCKING WEASEL? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU PUT YOUR ASS ON THE LINE FOR ANYTHING? AND YET YOU HAVE THE UNMITIGATED TEMERITY TO SHOW UP HERE AND MONDAY-MORNING QUARTERBACK THE ACTIONS OF A BRAVE MARINE, WHO WAS DEFENDING HIMSELF AND HIS UNIT FROM AN ATTACK BY SOME MURDEROUS AL-QUEDA SYMPATHIZER!!! YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT, NUMBNUTS? I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A BUNCH OF GRABASSTIC, ORGANIZED MORONS WITH CAMERAS AND MICROP HONES DOING THEIR BEST TO PORTRAY OUR BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN AS WAR CRIMINALS! I AM CONCERNED ABOUT CHICKEN-SHIT PANSIES THAT WANT US TO NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS AND WHINE ABOUT THEIR PISS-ANT ‘FREEDOMS’!!’

Reporter 3: 'I . . . ’

Ermey: ‘DID YOU HAVE A BIG BOWL OF STUPID FOR BREAKFAST THIS MORNING, NUMBNUTS? I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER WORD OUT OF THAT COMMIE CRY-HOLE IN THAT SHIT-PILE YOU CALL A HEAD! AND THAT GOES TRIPLE FOR THE REST OF YOU PANSY-ASSED MORONS! NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF MY PRESS ROOM BEFORE I SHOVE MY BOOT SO FAR UP YOUR ASS THAT YOU CHOKE TO DEATH ON MY SHOELACES!!!’

Marine DI’s have a language all their own. God bless them all!!

Now it’s just a pity, a few more people in high places don’t get a grip and sort this country out in the same manner… Yes, Ermey is typical military of the old school… but sometimes, that approach is needed when you are dealing with people who are doing their best to besmudge their nations soldiers, who are giving their all…

If you aren’t in the military, if you have never been in life threatening situations where decisions have to be made in a split second… you might not want to see his point of view.

Thanks Alan, couple of new entries there that will be on this weeks “get these phrases into the conf call discussion” competition at work. :smiley:

UNMITIGATED TEMERITY

and my favourite

GRABASSTIC
which has to be worth two latte’s and a cappacino to the user.

I’d really like to include

SHIT-SUCKING WEASEL
but profanity is too difficult to get into the conversation, unless provoked. :wink:

CAPITAL LETTERS

I wonder why the reporter is asking the soldier about the publicity impact of the shooting - you’d think it should be the other way around.

WHAT THE HOLY HALFWIT WHIMSYCRACKPOT BLATHERING BOLLOCKS WAS THAT ALL ABOUT. NO I MEAN YOU THERE TALKING ABOUT PUBLICITY. IN THE DESERT SHITEHOLES OF EYERACK NO ONE GETS TO TICK THE NO PUBLICITY BOX BECAUSE TWO SECONDS AFTER THEY LOOK AT ME SIDEWAYS THEY ARE IN THE BOX AND ME AND MY BUDDIES ARE LOWERING THEM INTO A CESSPIT

ORGANIZED MORONS WITH CAMERAS

Rupert Murdoch, cult of celebrity, apparent mindlessness, British red-top readers. But even so we still resisted Nazism so we’re doing ok. Mutt and Jeff routine, we’re Jeff right now - don’t annoy us or we’ll ask Mutt to have a chat with you and then we get sloppy seconds. Leverage :slight_smile:

This is how I look at this. I live in Belgium and our army has never been in a situation like in Iraq (except maybe in Rwanda where our brass and that fucking Dallaire stood by when 10 of our parachutists got killed by the Rwandan Army thinking the Belgians killed their president (stupid dumb asses)).

But I tell you one thing, when I would get in a situation where such “panty ass” terrorists - which don’t have the balls to fight in the open by the way - would shoot at me on a daily basis from their stinking holes, I would follow them into hell if necessary and shoot the living crap out of them if I could catch one…

If the insurgents don’t want to fight a conventional war, they don’t have to expect ‘conventional’ treatment, right?

All the rest is BS. Let the press patrol with those guys for about six months in downtown Ramadi and see how they report afterwards … if their still with us after that.

I think my opinion is obvious :roflmao:
Oh, and I like that Marine DI…
