Some people need to read the OP again: It's for
members or people that members know, not universally understood heroes or celebrities. I don't know what Major Brian Chontosh (Diesel_06) is doing these days, but I hope he's fucking Jeremy Clarkson's wife, stealing his cars, killing Taliban, and pissing in Karzai's Cheerios.
He is the epitome of a hard-charging, enemy-killing, Constitution-supporting, walking minefield of death, leader of Marines, and his loyalty has never been in question. He would of course obey his oath to serve at the pleasure of the President of the United States. It would just give me a little pleasure to know that he might choke on that last bit a little, but not too much.
It still pisses me off he "only" got the Navy Cross, which is a tremendous honor in its own right.
Semper Fi, MAJOR Chontosh!
It ought to be Lieutenant Colonel by now.
