Sgt. Earl and L/cpl Bubba are quietly sitting in a boat fishing, chewing tobacco and drinking beer when suddenly Bubba says, "Think I'm gonna divorce the wife - she ain't spoke to me in over 2 months."
Earl spits overboard, takes a long, slow sip of beer and says, "Better think it over.............women like that ...are hard to find."

Marines with cancer decry Corps' silence ...
About tainted water at Camp Lejeune during the 1980's. According to an article posted two days ago in the Los Angeles Times there is a possibility that hundreds of Marines and their family members (spouses and children etc ...) may have cancer or will contract cancer due to the polution of the water systems in some areas of Camp Lejeune by several chemicals. You can read the whole article here.
Unfortunately chemicals cause or contribute to disease and some can be linked to cancer. Marines and other military members who were exposed to Agent Orange during the Vietnam War can attest to the hazards of chemical exposure.
The Marine Corps preaches honor, courage and commitment and instills those values into Marine recruits during basic training and beyond, so if in fact the above article posted in the LA Times is viable then it is this Marine's opinion that the Corps needs to suck it up by cleaning up the hazards, supporting and compensating any Marines and/or family members who may have contracted cancer from the tainted water at Camp Lejeune. It's simply the right thing to do.
