Re: How is this possible?
some schools give 4.2 or 4.5 or something for A+ I think.
You guys have never heard of this? Maybe there are some schools that have 5.0 as the perfect score. I think I heard of this too but I'm not certain. |

Re: How is this possible?
He writes a violent essay and is therefore unqualified to go kill people on behalf of his country.
Makes perfect sense. Anyone know "Alice's Restaurant" by Arlo Guthrie? [ QUOTE ] And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill. I mean, I wanna, I wanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill, KILL, KILL." And I started jumpin up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL," and he started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL." And the sargent came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy." Didn't feel too good about it. ... ...and I turned over the piece of paper, and there, there on the other side, in the middle of the other side, away from everything else on the other side, in parentheses, capital letters, quotated, read the following words: ("KID, HAVE YOU REHABILITATED YOURSELF?") I went over to the sargent, said, "Sargeant, you got a lot a damn gall to ask me if I've rehabilitated myself, I mean, I mean, I mean that just, I'm sittin' here on the bench, I mean I'm sittin here on the Group W bench 'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough join the army, burn women, kids, houses and villages after bein' a litterbug." He looked at me and said, "Kid, we don't like your kind, and we're gonna send you fingerprints off to Washington." [/ QUOTE ] |

Re: How is this possible?
Ironically the last person the Marines want is someone predisposed to killing without hesitation.
