Mother of a Marine responding to Scottish cringe. I like my Scottish heritage, and thank you for serving in your Brit Army. Now let me set you straight, the Marines are very special Warriors, as you know currently that the Brits just pulled out of one of the most dangerous areas in Afghanistan because they were cringing and hiding, and that is ok. But guess who replaced them? Thats right the MARINES, only they are not cringing they are advancing on the enemy. May God Bless Them

@scottishnationalist hahahaa! You're such a liar. You're not in the British Army, you know nothing of the brotherhood. They would never ever allow anyone to mock their bros in arms. You're nothing but a little wanna be trouble maker. Probably got kicked out of the army for being a whiny chicken sh-t. Crawl back under your mama's skirt sissy, and hide like the disrespectful coward you are. The REAL men, the MARINES, will take care of things. SEMPER FI!
