Did anyone else notice during his speech, Bush listed the in the otder Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard , and Marines?

No offense to the Coast Guard, but can we please place the Corps ahead in the listing. Small nitpick from a Marine family member.

He's putting you as far from the Navy as he can, isn't that courtesy enough? [Smile]

Webb, keep in mind two things:

A) The Marine Corps is organized under the Department of the Navy. So, really, when you think about it, you could argue that Bush mentioned them TWICE!

B) I don't understand how you see this as a slight. He mentioned them last. So what? It's like he said, "...Army, Air Force, Navy, and the Coast Guard. Goodnight. Oh! Wait, the Marines!"

He didn't even mention the National Guard.

Ah hell, just break into some goat herder's shed and take what you can find.
Or climb up on those mountains over there and eat snow, I dunno. I'm outta here..."

Plenty of opportunity to attain that Decommissioning of MDWs Badge, at any rate.
