News Nation and a Misguided Smile

I just watched Tamron Hall laugh and act surprised that Marine Staff Sgt. Eric Alva confessed that he was getting goosebumps before attending a gala dedicated to the veterans of the War in Iraq. She laughed and said, "A Marine getting goosebumps, I've never heard of that!!Ha, ha, he, he. I'm sure Tamron is a good person and has the best intentions, and she doesn't work for Fox, but moments like these make me want to be sick. She's never heard of a Marine getting goose bumps huh? I guess she hasn't ever done an interview, or watched a news clip, or studied an embed, when Marines do what Marines were created to do. You damn right Marines get goosebumps. As a matter of fact if a Marine doesn't have goose bumps then that Marine is bored off of his ass without a doubt. It really just isn't something to be giggled about and laughed over. There was just way to much smiling going on with her interview with Staff Sgt. Alva, and the issue being spoken of brings little joy or happiness to the heart. I guess it's good that the Federal Government is spending millions of dollars to throw a gala to honor the warfighters of Iraq and that a whole one hundred of them and their families will be in attendance. That's good right? That's something to smile about right? Wrong. If the money to put on this gala were spent to set these one hundred families up with a comfortable life for the next ten years, then that would be something to smile about, but unfortunately it's just another story about more stupid spending...poop
