SSgt Ronald Lee Ermey, USMC (ret) passed away on Sunday, we knew him as “The Gunny” and he entertained us for decades; we’ll celebrate his life.

We’ll listen to reactions to the U.S. attack in Syria from a number of interesting people including U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, former Ambassador to Kuwait, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq — Ryan Crocker (name an “honorary Marine” in 2012) and retired U.S. Army General Jack Keane.  They are all well thought people and have interesting opinions on the purpose of the strike as well as what the United States SHOULD BE doing in the region.

 

LtCol Rob Schwarz, USMC (ret) joins us to discuss the “targeting” process and how planners arrived at the a “Target List” that was prosecuted late Friday night in Syria.

We’ll discuss the passing of SSgt R. Lee Ermey, USMC (ret); Gunner discusses his life as a “Rock Star” and in light of the President’s issues with Stormy Daniels we discuss prudent steps to take when dating a stripper.

As the Trump Administration deliberates over a response to a chemical attack in Syria, we’ll look at the broader issues at play in Syria as well as the lurking Israeli – Iranian War that will certainly take place soon inside Syria.

We talk to the ALL MARINE RADIO Head Chef Kim Holmes about planning a FUN funeral!  From choosing a venue for the party to recording your own eulogy, funerals can truly be celebrations of life but you have to plan well in order to deliver that gift to your loved ones.  We talk about it!

It’s Friday the 13th of April so Mike & Mike discuss whether they are superstitious, Gunner discusses his plan for teaching Texans about “real” Mexican food and they will address both FUN funerals and the latest stunning lie that the Russians rolled out for entire planet — in this case blaming Great Britain for the latest chemical attack in Syria.

The nation readies for an American military response in Syria and “sleep deprivation” continues to be a topic of discussion in the US military and they’re missing the major point — SLEEP DEPRIVATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM, but leadership solves that!

Most Americans are familiar with the the US war against the Islamic State that although winding down, continues to take place in Iraq and eastern Syria; they are not as familiar with the seemingly incredible number of players and alliances that are involved in the Syrian Civil War that is ongoing in western Syria.  We’ll take a look at the nation of Syria, it’s historical genesis, the makeup of its population and how the current Civil War started.  We’ll also follow the events that have the the use of Chemical Weapons by the Assad Regime

In the wake of listening to SSgt Jeremiah Workman’s two hour interview (yesterday — “When the Battlefield Comes Home”) Mike & Mike discuss the “woe is me” attitude and PTS, the optimism of Anne Frank’s diary, how helping others is a healing event for those effected by PTS and the first picture of the 5th Marine Vietnam Memorial will take you breath away.

A SPECIAL ALL MARINE RADIO SALUTE: to Steve Colwell and EVERYBODY who has had a hand in the 5th Marines Vietnam Memorial!!  You are the personification of “Semper Fidelis” — after 50 years you raised almost $400,000 to memorialize your fellow Marines & Sailors who fell in Vietnam.  Your example for the rest of us is incredible.

ALL MARINE RADIO celebrates its own success and lurking just barely below the surface in Syria is the coming war between Iran (Syria, Russia, Hezbollah, Hamas) and Israel (United States) which complicates a US response to an alleged chemical attack in Syria this past weekend.
